Casual fine dining, Levantine cuisine, and family ambiance are the three ingredients of the restaurant concept. The numerous regulars appreciate this. 

Co-owner Shimon Rokhlin is happy about the guest community that has established itself in the Mezze Bar. “Around 50 % of our guests are regulars,” he says. “It’s like a little family, and I think it’s great that we’ve been able to build something like this here.” 

Menus to enjoy together 

Shimon picked up the tradition of “mezze“, a kind of tapas, from his country of origin, Israel. There is something very communicative about Mediterranean delicacies: because the main thing is to spend time together and enjoy.  

The Mezze Bar‘s surprise menu  

Very popular is the “Chef’s Choice”, a kind of surprise menu based on the slogan “Tell us what you don’t eat, and we’ll tell you what you will eat”. Guests indicate whether they want to eat meat or fish, vegetarian or vegan, have any allergies, or don’t like certain ingredients. The staff then put together a special menu. 

Guests can choose a wine or cocktail pairing to go with the menu. When preparing the cocktails, the bartenders play with ingredients used in the kitchen, such as cardamom, preserved lemon, oriental spice blends like za’atar and ras el hanout, date syrup, and ginger. A cocktail with tequila and sea salt accompanies an oyster starter, for example. 

The special something about fine dining 

Cutting-edge digital tools allow the staff at Mezze Bar to pay more attention to their guests, pampering them with friendliness and little extras on the house – just that mix of fun and professionalism that makes casual fine dining so special.

Shimon defines luca as enriching: “For the guests, luca definitely has an experience factor. They collect luca Points they can use elsewhere. If the recommendations in the app continue to maintain a high standard, luca can develop into a quality benchmark for the restaurant industry. Maybe one day people will no longer look for restaurants in the Michelin Guide, but on luca,” he says with a twinkle in his eye.
