Wild Bread, a highly acclaimed bakery that began in Tel Aviv's Yad Harutzim complex, has become a major hit among food enthusiasts, evidenced by its consistent Friday queues. Four years ago, owners Tom Maoz and Eyal Freund announced plans to relocate to Kfar Daniel in the Ben Shemen forest, aiming to establish a bakery, cafe, and restaurant. While the bakery and cafe aspects have been successfully realized, the restaurant component has been delayed for years, partly due to the ongoing war.
The establishment in Kfar Daniel has expanded its menu with a few additions, each described as exceptional. Despite the seemingly simple nature of the dishes, Wild Bread's offerings are noted for their meticulous attention to detail and high-quality ingredients, rivaling fine dining establishments. Examples include a tomato salad featuring peeled 'Migi' tomatoes, Koroneiki olive oil, Atlantic sea salt, and their signature sourdough bread made from whole wheat and rye.
Other highlighted dishes include a sophisticated toast made with their Italian bread, Gruyere and Emmental cheeses, butter, and roasted portobello mushrooms. A salmon croissant sandwich features cured and smoked salmon, cream cheese, scallions, Lollo Rosso lettuce, and a mustard vinaigrette. The Emmental omelet, made with free-range eggs from Lev Ari farm, is served on their Italian bread.
Even the beverages, such as a homemade iced tea with a 24-hour infusion of Granny Smith apples, lemon juice, cinnamon syrup, and ginger ale, are considered culinary masterpieces. The bakery also offers its renowned Jerusalem bread, a large, sesame-studded bagel-like loaf, for takeaway. Wild Bread is praised for producing some of the most delicious and elaborate breads, alongside breakfast dishes that represent a true culinary peak.
