Charcuterie

We recently had a delicious dinner at Charcuterie, a small restaurant in a quiet alley in the Jaffa market. Since opening in the shuk hapishpeshim (flea market ) two years ago, many other eateries/bars have followed. We started by sharing a plate of home-made cold cuts and then moved on to our main dishes: beet root gemelli pasta with spinach and smoked salmon and entrecote with braised Jerusalem artichokes and green beans. Our dinner was perfect. Chef-owner Vince Mustar, also of the Container, does a perfect job of mixing the magical after hours of the market with a delicious selection of homemade sausages, pancetta, prosciutto... (the list goes on) alongside simple pasta and fish dishes. We had a wonderful time, though some friends have mentioned having a hit or miss dining experiences here.
