I love this place.  Fresh, savory, simple, casual, always open - especially during Fridays 4pm lunch when rest of Tel Aviv has already surrendered to siesta.  Don't ask me why I always take weekend lunches so late.  It's Soledad on the Medi, that's what.  We learn fast don't we?  Always living a passionate life to the extreme - so lunch is not noon but... past 16:00.

Most of all, Fortuna Del Mar is a great place to eat tasty, simple mezes, watch the sunset, and only walk a few steps across the street from my gorgeous flat on the beach of Hayarkon, Tel Aviv.  Oh, they also have a fantastic breakfast, if you can make it up early enough.  :)  

Fortuna also prepares good pasta dishes and very good seafood (muscles, clams, fish).  Soledad life on the winter Medi Sea in the sun, across the street from my real life.  Charmed life!  

Beets salad.  Fresh as can be and so tasty, light, refreshing.  Great starter dish on a cool, yet sunny winter day  on the Tel Aviv Medi Sea.  

Fortuna Del Mar.  

Me, chillaxin by the sea.... sunsetting and me very happy with my own home brought bottle of Pierre Yves Colin Morey, 2008 Le Trezin Puligny Montrachet.  The only bottle in all of Israel, hand brought be Sole. 

The beaut:  Pierre Yves Colin Morey, 2008 Le Trezin Puligny Montrachet.  I requested proper glasses (should've brought my own, seriously!);  they didn't have so I opted for snifters (for brandy or whisky) - which did the trick perfectly.  Crystal with serrated glass on inside would have been better.  Still though, this Puligny lived up to its weight.  

Eating, pontificating, sipping my FANTASTIC wine, and sunsetting... 

And here we are, at Fortuna Del Mar.  Mezes plate and fresh garden salad, full of savory fresh greens and toasted almonds for texture, sweetness, and crunch.
