The Palomar is one of those places which makes life a little bit better.
Jay Rayner
Voted best restaurant at last year’s Observer Food Monthly Awards, The Palomar opened in 2014 offering food from modern-day Jerusalem, with dishes influenced by the rich cultures of Southern Spain, North Africa and the Levant. Aside from the food – a brilliant, unselfconscious tangle of Mediterranean flavours and influences according to Jay Rayner – much of the restaurant’s success lies in its vibrant atmosphere, particularly the vibe around the long counter up front.
The restaurant is always fully booked and takes reservations two months in advance, but our Masterclass offers you the amazing opportunity to join head chef Tomer Amedi in his open kitchen to watch him at work and enjoy his wonderful dishes.
You’ll learn the fundamentals of his cuisine, from how to prepare raw fish, how to cook and clean offal and how to prepare your own spice mix. Amedi will demonstrate how to cook several dishes from The Palomar Cookbook, and will inspire you to use these recipes to enrich your home cooking. You’ll also have the chance to participate and help Amedi during the demonstration and then sit together to sample the dishes.
