Dinings dynamic menu will be accompanied by an extensive cocktail and sake list to compliment the variety of flavours. Signature cocktails will include Blossom Mochi, with Mashu Mashu, prosecco and kombucha and Not a Mizu, rum infused coconut with pineapple and nutmeg. Dinings Tel Aviv will also include classics with a twist such as Margaritas, Manhattans and Passion Martinis.
Executive Chef of Dinings, Masaki Sugisaki said: “It’s such a wonderful feeling to be back in Tel Aviv and with the team at The Norman and to be reopening Dinings again. I love this city and the produce available here, so creating a menu in the Dinings signature style but utilising the beautiful Israeli ingredients is such a privilege, there is some really interesting and incredible quality produce to work with in the country which lends itself so well to my cooking. We can’t wait to welcome the first guests through the doors.”
General Manager at The Norman, Yaron Liberman says “After a three- year wait to re-open, a transformative interior design overhaul and the creation of an innovative new menu, I’m thrilled that Dinings has re-opened to such rave reviews. Chef Masaki has, as always, set the culinary bar extremely high. He is assisted by our homegrown Dinings Chef, Vova, with fabulous Karin, former manager of The Library Bar, running the show. A great highlight for me is the aesthetic and atmospheric change to a more loungey fun cocktail bar feel, with awesome music to match.”

Masaki travelled to London when he was 23 and worked in several Japanese restaurants across the capital to gain experience of how Japanese cuisine is served and enjoyed outside Japan. After returning to Japan and taking up the role of Head Chef at his parents’ restaurant, Masaki moved to Tokyo where he worked in various establishments, expanding and developing his own style of new Japanese food. In 2005 Masaki settled back in London, working with the opening team at Nobu Berkeley Street where he met Tomonari Chiba.
