Jagger Opens Upscale Steak and Burger Stand in Ramat Aviv Mall

Jagger, a well-known butcher shop and restaurant from Kiryat Ono famous among meat enthusiasts, recently expanded to Tel Aviv with a new branch in the Ramat Aviv Mall food court. This move is notable as malls are not typically associated with high-end dining experiences. The new location operates as a self-service stand, where customers order and pay at kiosks, yet maintains premium pricing.

During a visit, the reviewer sampled a Caesar salad, cheeseburger, and a 300-gram entrecote steak. The salad was good but standard, while the cheeseburger impressed with its juicy, medium-rare patty, quality cheese, and bun, rivaling top burger spots in Tel Aviv. The standout was the entrecote, sliced for easy eating and served with chimichurri sauce, delivering steakhouse-level quality. The only critique was that the steak cooled quickly, possibly due to the mall’s air conditioning and the metal plate it was served on.

Prices are steep, with the entrecote costing 174 shekels, reflecting Jagger’s premium positioning. However, the reviewer noted that this is comparable to other high-end steakhouses. They also tried a flank steak priced at 99 shekels, which was excellent and came with potatoes in olive oil and herbs. Jagger does not offer desserts, so the meal was concluded with ice cream from a nearby shop.

Eating a 300-shekel meal on shared mall seating amid busy shoppers felt unusual but added to the unique experience. The new Jagger branch joins other quality food options in the mall’s revamped dining floor, including the Asian chain Chuka and the Italian restaurant Berta by chef Yossi Shitrit.
