London’s Palomar has been gaining acclaim for its Israeli flavours, innovatively reworked for the small plate generation. Playful pairings include Jerusalem mess (a take on Eton mess made with labneh mousse and almond crumble) and scallop carpaccio with Thai-bouleh (pictured), a fusion of Thai and Lebanese cuisines, with toasted cashew and lime replacing the bulgur.

Kanaan in Berlin, set up by Israeli Oz Ben David and Palestinian Jalil Dabit, aims to bring the culinary best from their respective countries to the German city.
