Mealtime: Puaa

One of my favorite areas to hang out is the Jaffa Flea Market. When vendors are selling their wares, it is fun to see what random things Israelis are trying to get rid of. The area around the flea market is also a great place to sit down and have a meal. There are a bunch of great restaurants in and around the flea market including Dr Shakshouka, Aboulafia Bakery, and Italkiya. Besides these fantastic restaurants, the flea market is the home to one of my favorite restaurants that is also pretty affordable. Puaa is one of those restaurants in the flea market that many visitors come to to satisfy their hunger. When you walk inside Puaa you would think that much of the decorations, chairs, and tables were salvaged and bought from the flea market down the street. The menu draws inspiration from the mixture of cultures that makes up Israeli culture as a whole. Menu items include Ashkenazi favorites such as chopped liver, to fresh salads, and to the all time Israeli favorite schnitzel. Puaa has such a wide variety of menu items that even the most stubborn foodie will find something to eat. Puaa also makes a delicious sangria which you should order if you are with a group. For a great dining experience that will not break your wallet Puaa is a good choice. With great food and ambiance at a decent price what can be better?
