Abbalé Telavivian Kitchen Aventura

This Israeli restaurant is close to—but not inside—the Aventura Mall. So it’s a great place to steel yourself for one of the city’s most chaotic parking garages or unwind after swimming through hordes of mall teens. Abbalé has the neutral tones, wicker furniture, and prices of a beachside resort, but better food. Start with the incredibly creamy hummus or the tamarind-glazed crunchy cauliflower. The dinner menu is heavy on sharable grilled proteins like ribeye and whole fish. But the all-day menu casts a wider net of appeal with brunch dishes like shakshuka, sandwiches like lamb arayes, salads, and a few of the grilled entrees you’ll find during dinner. And the tahini soft serve for dessert is a good idea no matter when you’re here.
