Carmel market, in Hebrew, Shuk HaCarmel is the coolest of them all. Fruit & Veggies smile at you along trendy cafés, cheese boutiques and chefs’ stalls. If you fancy, you may taste some Bulgarian cheese, at least 8 delicious kinds of olives in different colours and shapes (Oh, how I love olives), salted fish and fresh-pressed fruit or vegetable juice blends (I suggest pomegranate juice).
Now time has come for a stopover to taste the most delicious Malabi on earth, just 50 m from Shuk HaCarmel. For starters, Malabi is an exotic Middle Eastern pudding topped with colorful syrup and crushed sweet nuts.
On our way to Lewinsky market we will ride through Nahalat Biniamin, a street overflowing with beautiful renovated historical buildings.
