PIZZA
Da Peppe Pizzeria Napoletana
Giuseppe Giordano, a pizza chef from Napoli, is renowned for his authentic Napoletana pizza At first glance, his dough is misleading. While it looks as thick as Napolitano pizza, one bite reveals a perfect fluffy texture. Together with juicy tomato sauce full of flavor and "meaty" mozzarella cheese, his pie is sheer simplicity. Giordano does pizza right. It’s the best in Tel Aviv.

LAMB
Longueville House
The fire is roaring at Longueville House, which operates in a Georgian Heritage Mansion set on 500 beautiful acres. Not just to warm the building, its hosts and guests, the hearth is ablaze to cook your Sunday lunch. Don't worry. That big haunch of locally bred lamb, spit roasted over the open fire, will be ready in time. The leg of Longueville lamb arrives with a sausage of braised shoulder and garden thyme sauce. Diners have the option of helping it down with the house-made cider and maybe a glass of apple brandy afterward. Both are distilled right on the property.

Restaurant Jun
The Netherlands’ colonial history has created a vibrant Indonesian and Surinamese cuisine scene, and Restaurant Jun has earned a reputation as one of the best Indonesian restaurants in Amsterdam. Run by Edy Junaedy, the friendly owner and chef will make things as spicy or mild as you like. The menu changes every three months, but some classic dishes are standard. Order the iconic soto ayam to start. This deliciously fragrant chicken soup is flavored with turmeric, which gives it its characteristic yellow color. Then try a rijsttafel, a Dutch word that literally translates as "rice table.” This elaborate meal features lots of small, spicy dishes to share, all served with rice. Ask for extra chilli if you like your food spicy.
