Welcome to ma׳arava
Welcome to Maarava, the latest story by Chef Ran Shmueli. The venue where anytime is the perfect time for an event.
Situated only a 15-minute drive from Tel Aviv and set amidst a rustic setting of a eucalyptus grove, pergola and garden, overlooking an open landscape, Maarava dares to redefine the culinary art and style of catered events.
The chef, kitchen and food
The guiding principle of Chef Ran Shmueli’s kitchen is the use of fresh, seasonal ingredients – a truly “Farm-to-Table” cuisine. Fresh agricultural produce arrives daily to our kitchen. Fish are freshly caught on the same morning and herbs are hand-picked from our garden minutes before they are chopped and prepared.
Not only fresh, quality ingredients shape our menu – you do as well! Having no permanent menu, we’ll sit down together and define a creative culinary concept especially for your big day.
The Maarava site
Maarava is situated in the heart of the Sharon and comprises three successive areas, each offering a totally different experience. An enchanting avenue of eucalyptus trees welcomes the guests. In our garden, under the pergola, they enjoy a short nature walk and a landscape stretching out to the horizon. Stepping into the banquet hall, the guests will enjoy an outstanding culinary experience and truly memorable party.
