Miznon (Hebrew:מזנון; English:Canteen), stylised asMIZNON, is an Israeli chain of contemporary casual restaurants created by chefEyal Shani, with branches around the world.
The first Miznon opened in Tel Aviv in 2011.[1]
Miznon sellspita bread, served fresh from the oven with fillings such asmoussaka,ratatouille, and lobster withcrème fraîche.[2]
Writing inThe New Yorker, food critic Hannah Goldfield describes Miznon itself as "a small, beloved international chain." In describing the food, Goldfield wrote, "It seems almost unfair to compare Miznon pita to any other pita. Miznon pita is plush, Miznon pita is pillowy—I would happily take a nap on a stack of Miznon pita."[3]
Richard Vines, restaurant reviewer forBloomberg, described the food at Miznon, Tel Aviv, as "superb and inexpensive... The pita itself is soft and fluffy, more like a folded pancake than bread," while the meat wrapped inside the pita bread "has great depth."[4] The London Miznon locations have been reviewed by British food and lifestyle publications, includingThe Guardian,[5] theEvening Standard[6] andTime Out London.[7]
Miznon has locations inLas Vegas,[8]New York,Paris,Vienna,Melbourne,Toronto,Singapore,Taipei,Tel Aviv, andLondon.[2][9]
While some dishes are served across the chain, each location serves unique dishes created by chef Shani for that particular neighborhood and city.[1]
