We’re just back from five days in Florida, some spent delightfully on Marco Island's expansive white beaches, others frittered away in Coral Springs, an inland boomtown gone bust sandwiched between Boca Raton and Fort Lauderdale.
We did, however, make a major find in Coral Springs: Falafel Bistro, a tiny-but-superb Israeli restaurant hidden in a dowdy strip mall on the southeast corner of Coral Ridge and Wiles. Falafel Bistro's menu is broad, deep, and intentionally vegetarian friendly; the hummus there is the best I've tasted in years; the falafel b'pita the best I've eaten outside Israel; and owner/chef Ilan Cohen is warm and engaging (and opinionated) in a prototypically Israeli way.
If you're ever on Florida's Jewish coast, Falafel Bistro is a must visit. Now if only they'd deliver to Austin, Texas.
