Ruben is a small restaurant in the Mount
Carmel area of Haifa that has the slogan “when meat meets bread”. It serves
mainly Ruben sandwiches and burgers. The Rubens come in different sizes (based
on the grams of meat) and are made with corned beef, turkey, or a mix of the
two. You also have a choice of breads and everything seems fresh and of the
highest quality. On this Tuesday evening it is absolutely packed.
I order a modest sized 200gr Ruben (ISL
37 or ca. $9.25) on a gabette, a soft
wheat roll, and get ready for a long wait. When it arrives, it doesn’t
disappoint. It is a big sandwich, cut in half to create two decent size
sandwiches. The meat is extremely flavorful and further flavor is added by the
onion, lettuce, mustard, and some kind of vinegar-oil mix. I am not a
particular fan of corned beef, but this is amazing!
VERDICT:
97/100
As good as Ruben’s get, even if they
are not the classic ones. Cannot wait to go back to try the huge burgers!
