In the kashrut of the Haredi community: The Nine Days are getting a surprising and refreshing culinary twist this year at Chef Caballero's restaurant - one of the most prestigious and beloved steakhouses in the capital.
In preparation for the nine days in which people abstain from eating meat, the restaurant decided to launch a special fish menu, rich, meticulous, and full of culinary creativity.
Caballero, located on Har Hotzvim in Jerusalem and operating under the supervision of the Haredi Eda Ha-Haredi Badatz, is known for its prestigious meat menu. But this week, for a limited time, it is switching to fish - and in style. Instead of steaks or ribs, diners will find unique tapas dishes, modernly prepared fish, and a seasonal menu that corresponds with the best of European and Mediterranean cuisines.
Among the standout dishes on the menu: white fish chunks on roasted and green peaches, a salmon steak wrapped in red rub on crumbled chickpeas and khrayma oil, tempura fish popcorn with watermelon chili sauce, white fish fillet on Ashkenazi gnocchi and boiled peas. And of course, fish platters for couples that include several types of selected fish. Everything is served with care, in a luxurious and relaxed atmosphere, with winning service.
Caballero's move seeks to upgrade the dining experience for the ultra-Orthodox sector that is strict about Halacha and is looking for a quality gourmet solution on days when meat is off the table. This is not just an alternative, but a real culinary celebration - proving that it is possible to enjoy gourmet dishes made from fish as well.
If you are looking for an uplifting culinary experience for the nine days, Caballero Restaurant is your address.
