Sashimi with wasabe ice cream, Uri Buri, Acco, Israel, December 2005
Wow. That looks incredible! I've heard so much about Uri Buri, but haven't eaten there. Is it as good as they say?
Posted by: Lisa at November 26, 2006 06:42 AMInteresting question. I've eaten there twice, plus participated in a workshop held by Uri (which was fantastic). The food is very good, but quite lacking in sophistication. I'm not trying to sound like a food snob here - what I mean to say is that the dishes are old fashioned, but not in the "classic French" sense, more in the "I'm still somewhere in the 80s" sense, with a few splashes of innovation such as the dish in the picture.
