Ducks - Dizengoff and Gordon

On a sunny friday afternoon, I'm sure to enjoy in Ducks.

LOCATION 10
One of my favourite streets on fridays is Dizengoff. It's alive, more than it is during the weekdays. Another good street is Gordon, in which a lot of galleries are located. In Ducks you get the fast life of Dizengoff, and the romantic green air from Gordon. Ducks is situated at the foot of Dizengoff Suites - a boutique hotel. Perfecto Locationo!


MENU 8
I see a new menu: green, with white ducks and food illustrations. About a week ago, Ducks launched a Gluten-free menu. The menu is very Italian - interesting Pasta dishses are recommanded! There are beautiful salads with tasty toppings. Great desserts served with ice-cream. Their bread is baked on pebbles - sounds interesting! There's a separate menu for breakfasts - in Herbrew and English.


SIT 9
The sitting area inside is pretty loud, for all the action with the coffee and dishes. However, the whole area feels like a painting of a 50's italian cafe. Ceiling is high - making it a large space. A section of the wall is a blackboard, anouncing today's specials maybe? The floor paving is amazing. The tables and chairs are very comfortable.
Outside, the sitting area is almost integral to the sidewalk - this is a sidewalk cafe. There's a red and white striped sunshade, ceiling-ventilators, and wooden boxes with flowers. Wide quadrangle wooden tables, without stupid gaps, chairs are on the right height. The problem is that outside everybody somkes - there's no consideration of non-smokers who want to sit outside.

SERVICE 7
My preference is nice, and not frequent service. I like to decide myself - and not being annoyed repeatedly by waitresses. The serivce in Ducks is the way i like it. You may find it hard to catch your waitress' attention, but at least you won't be annoyed. Some people don't like that kind of service, and sometimes I'm in a horry, too.

VISITORS 8
A lot of tourists are around. Groups of poeple who want to talk. Friends that meet eachother...

THE COFFEE 7
Saquella beans. Strong shot, short foam, little aroma, a bit too balance - not punchy enough! But enjoyable.


OVERALL 8.1
Wow. I love Ducks. It's in a nice place, with good food, and service the way i like, with comfortable sitting, and good looks!
