Jerusalem Restaurant 'Migdal Ticho' Reopens with Surprising Cabbage Star

The newly reopened Migdal Ticho restaurant in Jerusalem, located in the historic Ticho House, is drawing praise for its culinary offerings under the direction of veteran chef Yaakov Turgeman. While the establishment boasts a menu featuring prime dry-aged entrecote steak that melts in the mouth, a giant veal schnitzel, and rich kebab, a surprising standout has emerged: a caramelized roasted cabbage skewer.

The reviewer, Galit Orr, noted the entrecote's exceptional tenderness and juiciness, a result of weeks of aging. However, the seemingly simple cabbage skewer, described as heavenly and impressive, stole the show. Other dishes that received positive mentions include fatayer with garlic and coriander, a perfectly executed crispy veal schnitzel with velvety mashed potatoes, spicy merguez sausage with a refreshing lemon sauce, and entrecote kebab with roasted tomatoes and tahini.

The restaurant itself is situated in the charming Ticho House, a landmark associated with Dr. Avraham Ticho, who significantly impacted modern Jerusalem. The surrounding area has become a prominent culinary hub. The ambiance of Migdal Ticho is described as authentically Jerusalemite, complementing the historical significance of its location. The restaurant is located at 10 Agnon Street and is kosher under the Jerusalem Rabbinate.
