A Place of Plenty

Named after the prosperous Acadian empire, and translating to “a place of plenty”, Acadia brings modern Israeli cuisine to the heart of midtown Manhattan.

A melting pot of cultures and traditions, Israeli food is inspired by centuries-old recipes from across the eastern Mediterranean. Perfectly represented by Partners Simon Oren and Dudi Sasson, Executive Chef and Partner Ari Bokovza, General Manager Alon Moskovitch, and the rest of our team, Acadia's story and its cuisine hail from Tunisia, Israel, Lebanon and beyond.

Chef Ari Bokovza spent his childhood summers in Israel, where he was introduced to new foods and exotic spices by his Tunisian grandmother, a founding relationship that paved the way to a bountiful culinary career. Highlights from his menu include house-made mezze with freshly baked flatbread, Israeli-inspired Shishlik skewers, Lamb Kofta Terra Cotta with tahini, and seasonal vegetables roasted in our custom-built rotisserie.

Our food is perfectly complemented by a list of exceptional wines and creative cocktails, curated by our Beverage Director and Partner, Aviram Turgeman. From a Tel Aviv-style Gazoz, to our own house-made lemonades, our drinks evoke memories of the Mediterranean with every sip.
