PA UP ~ FR . N , T
hitherto-pristine Eretz Israel. It's
called Planet Hollywood, and you
can find it, or avoid it, on Ha-
yarkon Street, near all the big
beach front hotels. As a foretaste,
or warning, of what the Third
Millennium holds for hu-
mankind, Planet Hollywood is a
one-time experience everyone
should endure.
Unwary diners climb stairs
into a huge room, aglitter with
flashing lights, awash with the
incessant boom of Top 40 record-
ings and ablossom with plastic
palm trees. Amidst the din, you
shout an order for hamburgers,
fries or other specialties of the
house; and, while waiting to be
served, you wander around the
dining area to see the wondrous
movie-based artifacts on display.
Enshrined in glass cases are

isitors to the modern Jew-
ish state in its fifth decade
no longer need to ponder
the old question: "Where
shall we eat tonight?"
The limited choice of restau-
rants in the early years of aus-
terity and gastronomic innocence
have long since given way to the
selection of 300 top restaurants
described in the recently pub-
lished 1996 Gault-Millau Israel
Guide.
It is a recognition of the
presently high state of gastrono-
my in Israel that Gault-Millau,
a panel of food experts who have
pioneered in promoting la nou-
velle cuisine in France, have now
undertaken to survey the Israeli
cuisine scene with the same mea-
sure of professionalism, impar-
tiality and expertise.

United ways
Eateries in Israel run from burger places to haute cuisine.
What follows are, in essence,
their comments on major restau-
rants in Jerusalem and Tel Aviv,
the country's largest cities; their
remarks are fused with the ob-
servations of several American
gourmet gurus who also follow
developments with discerning
eyes and sensitive palates.
As one critic, disclaiming ob-
jectivity, told me: "These are not-
unbiased recommendations;
they're highly personal, some-
times flippant, always heartfelt.
They are not made by, or on be-
half of the Israel Ministry of
Tourism. And we think they're
unfailingly accurate."
The quality of restaurants in
Tel Aviv, where we start our tour,
runs, within a few blocks, from
the deplorable to the dependable
to the divine, with a much greater
emphasis on the latter.
"Deplorable" is, indeed, the
best word to describe that grow-
ing, world-wide phenomenon
which has now encroached on a
such treasures as a more-than-
life-size statue of Arnold
Schwarzenegger (one of the
founders of Planet Hollywood)
dressed in the bloodied armor he
donned as the Terminator. An-
other case holds the genuine
striped boxing shorts which
Sylvester Stallone (another
founding father) actually wore as
Rocky. A third — the Holy of
Holies — displays the original
and authentic Tablets of the Law,
the Ten Commandments, which
Charlton Heston brought down
from a mock-up of Mt. Sinai to
the waiting throng of Central
Casting Israelites.
As our tour guide, not in the
least embarrassed, explained to
us as we bit into our burgers: "Is-
rael has something for everybody.
And if you're not a teen-ager,
that's your problem!"
And "dependable" is the reas-
suring thought for those teen-
agers who can't afford the
high-priced hamburgers at the
