Delamina Townhouse

Delamina restaurant group was set up by wife and husband team, Limor & Amir, to develop restaurants and other projects inspired by Limor’s fusion eastern Mediterranean home cooking and upbringing in Tel Aviv.

Limor is the driving force behind the menu, drawing on her eclectic heritage — she was born in Tel Aviv to a family of middle eastern and European origin — and inspired by her father, a passionate cook who exposed her to the myriad flavours, herbs and spices of the region. Limor’s recipes are influenced by her interest in healthy eating – grilling, roasting and using herbs and spices to celebrate the raw ingredients, including many vegetarian dishes. Her self-taught and intuitive approach results in dishes that are wholesome, nutritious and with a unique flavour combination. The food is accompanied by a carefully curated drinks list that includes exciting wines from the Middle East, alongside house cocktails that incorporate the same aromatic ingredients used in the kitchen.

Delamina Townhouse is located in a Grade II listed Georgian townhouse, so Limor and Amir were careful to preserve the period features and original layout, refreshed by elements that reflect their love of light and texture. Plenty of soft furnishings, neutral colour tones, and abundant natural light combine to create a welcoming and uplifting environment. The restaurant has 110 seats comprising multiple dining areas, including a generous dining bar, two drawing rooms with fireplaces, and several private dining spaces, as well as a small outdoor terrace.

Limor, as chef-patron and an established artist, has also created site-specific works for the restaurant. Her artwork integrates seamlessly with the surroundings, contributing to the overall aesthetic and adding layers of meaning and a personal touch to the dining experience.
