Mediterranean kitchen by the Red Sea
Some places you go to eat, and some you simply do not want to leave.
Lilie is a kosher Mediterranean taverna by chef Ohad Levy, one that changes tempo over the day.
At lunch it is a beach restaurant - light and easy, with the sea in the background, music, fresh seaside dishes and cold glasses. You arrive for lunch and stay much longer than you planned.
In the evening Lilie becomes a joyful Mediterranean taverna. The tables fill, the wine is opened, the cocktails flow and the food turns deeper and bolder. Seasonal produce, fresh fish, meat and vegetables from farmers across the country get Ohad’s personal take on Mediterranean cooking.
Whether you come with family, on a date or for an evening with friends, Lilie has great food, wine and cocktails, warm and easygoing hospitality and an atmosphere that is hard to stay indifferent to.
Ohad Levy Our Chef
Ohad Levy's connection to the kitchen started in Eilat. As a child he spent holidays with his grandfather Zion, one of the city's founders and the owner of the legendary Hof Zion. There, between the sea and the kitchen, he peeled potatoes and fell in love with cooking.
From there he made his way through the leading kitchens of Tel Aviv, among them Herbert Samuel, Katit, Social Club and Chicchetti. Moving to the southern Arava brought the desert, local farming and open-fire cooking into his cooking.
For Ohad, Lilie closes a circle - a return to where it all began, bringing together sea, fire, raw ingredients and hospitality.
