This is GAVRIEL
Gavriel stands in Ness Ziona, at the Beit Oved junction: a 22-dunam complex with three venues, for weddings and private events.
The Art of Hospitality
We built three venues, each a world of its own, so that you never have to fit your event to a hall. You choose whether to celebrate in one venue, in two or across the whole complex, and we shape the evening around what matters to you.
The place
The Hangar is a lofty space: 1,400 sq m beneath an 11-metre ceiling. The Shulhan has open kitchens, with a garden and ornamental pools around it. The Bustan is 2,800 sq m in the open air around a pool. All three share a single 22-dunam complex, which is why they can also be combined.
In each of them the Gavriel team is by your side, and the kitchen is led by Chef David (Dudu) Elmakayes.
The kitchen
Chef at Gavriel
Chef David (Dudu) Elmakayes was born in Acre and began cooking at 17. He served as a chef in the army, cooked in professional kitchens in Australia and gained further experience in kitchens in Eilat and the north of Israel.
For about 15 years he had his own restaurant, David & Yosef. He closed it at the end of 2021, and three weeks later the owner of Gavriel offered him the kitchen to lead. He has been here ever since, as chef and partner.
His cooking is Mediterranean, and he does not chase trends. He would rather take dishes from the past and give them his own interpretation, such as a spicy tomato salad or a new version of the Waldorf salad.
