Guest Chefs Bring a Tel Aviv Spin to London Carousel

Head Chefs Omer Shadmi Muller and Daniel Zur, of Tel Aviv’s critically acclaimed restaurant Alena at The Norman, announce their residency at Carousel London this June.

The chefs will be joining the culinary hub in Fitzrovia, for a week-long residency from 7th-11th June, bringing their European-inspired dishes with a Mediterranean & Galilean flourish to London for a second time, having previously collaborated with the Carousel team in 2020.

Having cut their collective teeth in kitchens around the world, including The Barbary and River Café in London, Pauly Saal in Berlin, and L28 in Tel Aviv, Omer and Daniel draw inspiration and use techniques from their global experience and fuse them with their childhood knowledge of the Israeli landscape and ingredients.

At Alena, located within Tel Aviv’s first luxury boutique hotel, The Norman, the duo take their European training and apply it to local cuisines, embracing the local food culture and their Galilean heritage.

The residency will see a mixture of their signature plates as well as some specially crafted new dishes. The menu will include dishes such as Galilee egg yolk Raviolo, beef tartare, and pistachio basbusa. The residency will also feature a cocktail menu tailor-made by the Carousel team in conjunction with The Botanist Gin. The set menu will be served from 7pm, with tickets available at £75 per person.

“We are coming to London to demonstrate our take on new Israeli cuisine, which in our case focuses on flavours from the lush green Galileen area in the North of the country,” commented Daniel.

“Outside of Israel, we allow ourselves to really illuminate local influences more than we would at home,” added Omar. “Our dining philosophy, as a team, is that great dining experiences should be simple & fun, with outstanding flavour being the most poignant memory our guests go away with.”
