Opening on Sunday 29 July in the heart of leafy Belsize Park, Tish is a contemporary kosher restaurant and bar offering an all-day menu of European cuisine, featuring Jewish heritage family favourites.
Owner David S Levin’s grew up cooking for family and friends and has been honing his restaurant vision for years. A perfectionist who has obsessed over every detail from the menu dishes, to the acoustics, to the seating, Tish is his true love.
The tone of the dining room is set by the soaring 15-foot ceiling, mint green wood panelled walls, and a cream and green checkerboard terrazzo flooring. Four grand brass chandeliers grace the room and the bar features an extraordinary Brazilian quartzite top, hand-selected in Verona, Italy.
The open kitchen will showcase the team of chefs at work under a giant copper canopy. The dining room opens out onto the large outdoor terrace complete with playful patterned seating, merrily hued parasols and all manner of heaters and weather proofing.
Lunch and dinner will include: Tish Hungarian bean soup; Chicken soup with kneidlach; Dry-aged rib eye steak with truffle chips and field mushrooms; Crispy duck leg with red cabbage and cranberry jus; Seared salmon fillet with green kale salsa, pickled fennel, crispy pearl barley and pomegranate and Tish Chicken schnitzel with roasted fingerling potatoes, peppers and caper berries.
The menu also has a wide selection of fresh salads and generous sandwiches. Desserts include Bramley apple strudel with apple sorbet and Chocolate & passion fruit fondant with a bitter chocolate sorbet.
Tish’s extensive drinks list offers many wines not previously available in the UK, as well as an innovative cocktail menu. Guests can also enjoy coffee and a wide range of fruit juices squeezed to order. A variety of cakes and delicious small plates can be ordered alongside drinks. A children’s menu will also be available.
The Head Chef is the talented John Ellison, previously Head Chef at Bob Bob Ricard and at The Club at the Ivy.
Shabbat, the Jewish day of rest and celebration will be observed at Tish, with special prix-fixe Friday Night Dinners and Saturday Lunches open to all. Booking and payment in advance is required for these two meals.
