Top choice in North Coast
This well-run kosher restaurant offers almost every imaginable preparation of fish: homemade sushi, tangy ceviche, baked mullet and bream, or hunks of salmon swirled into tagliatelle. Everything is beautifully prepared and plated and the warm service and menu of local wines invite lingering.
Nili is also noteworthy for breakfasts (served to 12.30pm): muesli or shakshuka if you want the classics, or vegan omelette, mimosas and affogato (espresso with ice cream) for something a little special.
