Vegetarian and Vegan diets are becoming more and more popular everyday with people making the switch it seems daily. With more people making the switch, more restaurants are making the switch as well to provide dining experiences that satisfy vegetarians and vegans, but also for those omnivores among us that just like to eat delicious food. With a significant percentage of the population here in Israel adhering to a vegetable based diet, it is no wonder there are a plethora of excellent restaurants providing vegetarian specific cuisine. One of these restaurants is tucked away in South Tel Aviv in a seeming industrial area. Ala Rampa is one of those restaurants that also doubles as a hipster hang out. Ala Rampa has a great scene for hanging out with friends over drinks, or for the occasional special events they host from time to time. The menu features several dishes that are meant to be shared among friends, and main courses. One dish that you should definitely start off your meal with is the beer battered onions served with Tabasco mayo. A unique spin on the onion ring, but more delicious and perfect to nibble on while having a beer or cocktail. Three stand out main dishes include the artichoke hearts and mushrooms served on truffle polenta, the black lentil masbacha, and the eggplant lasagna. Finish your meal with one of their decadent and delicious dessert options. One of their more unique desserts is the pears in whisky served on labane cheese and a chili balsamic reduction. The star dessert however is the caramelized bananas served with cinnamon sour cream, silan(date honey), and roasted almonds. After eating at Ala Rampa for the first time, I did not feel like I had missed eating meat. The mixture of flavors, and textures created a fantastic dining experience that made me want more and more. Hopefully after your first time you will feel the same way.
