Our Chef

CHEF AVRAHAM FREIZEN

In the 02 Restaurant, chef Avraham Freizen presents his own take on Jerusalem’s contemporary cuisine, offering a harmonious balance between inspired chef creations and playful street food.

Friezen’s food expresses his love for Jerusalem, its diverse cultures, hospitality, and cuisine. “Jerusalem’s food is the story of this city, a multicultural mosaic that creates a rich and colorful picture, from food rooted in the ancestral traditions of East Jerusalem to Jewish foods from a multitude of ethnic origins from which I draw inspiration and creativity, and which I proudly include in the menu of the 02”.

Recipes from Nimrod Norman’s Judeo-Spanish Cuisine

The Ladino or Spaniolic cuisine epitomizes the culture of Spanish Jews. In the years following the expulsion from Spain, the Jewish community dispersed and spread all over the region: some settled in Mediterranean countries, some in North Africa, some in Europe, and some came to Jerusalem and established a Ladino-speaking, Judeo-Spanish community.
