TOURO

TOURO is located in a magical spot with a magnificent panorama on the walls of the old city and the Gehinom valley which it overlooks. Getting there is an easy short walk up and the reward is a gourmet experience in a warm, rustic environment. The menu is a good balance between meat and fish dishes, inspired from local traditions and much further afield (their Asian salad is very good with just the right amount of mint, sesame and soy). The meat is excellent quality whether prepared in a simple carpaccio or a grilled steak. The vegetables are cooked just right, never overcooked, still a touch crisp, and sometimes slightly caramelized. Don't hesitate to end the meal on a sweet note. Chocolate reigns fairly successfully on the short dessert menu.
