Carmel Queen's Park

Carmel offers a vibrant and sophisticated dining experience, characterized by its inviting atmosphere and eclectic menu that leans into Middle Eastern flavors. Known for its array of innovative vegetarian dishes, standout options include the za'atar flatbread, charred hispi cabbage with labneh, and the famed roasted aubergine. While carnivores are not forgotten—dishes like the 24-hour braised beef short-rib promise rich satisfaction—the venue's star remains its fresh and artfully presented produce. This intimate setting, accentuated by tasteful decor and a robust selection of organic wines and cocktails, provides the perfect backdrop for a leisurely meal. The service can sometimes venture from accommodating to rushed during peak hours, though many find the staff attentive and knowledgeable. While exploring the lively counter seating might enhance the experience with a glimpse into the kitchen's artistry, potential diners should be prepared for fluctuations in service efficiency.
