Networking dinner

After an inspiring day at the conference, let’s immerse ourselves in Israeli cuisine and lifestyle. Ideally situated among majestic Herodin-era ruins in the breezy city of Caesarea – you cannot have one without the other. Sit down inside the pristine, classic interior of Helena and gaze out wall-to-wall glass panes towards Caesarea’s port – capturing the freshness of the meal they are about to embark on.

Effortlessly picturesque, the port is also the source of the locally harvested fish and seafood caught daily and used as a premier ingredient in Chef Sion’s kitchen, in addition to locally grown meats, seasonal fruits and vegetables, and local wild herbs and plants, indigenous to the Levant.
