Kosher cuisine is more than a dietary system — it’s a language of memory and belonging. At Unico Hotels, each dish carries the essence of Jewish tradition, served with the grace of fine hospitality. Here are ten kosher classics that capture both heart and heritage, reinterpreted with modern flair.
1. Challah Bread
Golden, braided, and beautifully soft — challah is the crown of every Shabbat table. At Unico Hotels, it’s baked fresh daily, brushed with egg glaze and served warm with dips and honey.
2. Gefilte Fish
This Ashkenazi favourite — a delicate blend of ground fish, herbs, and spices — is prepared in-house, served chilled with a touch of horseradish. It symbolises peace and blessing.
3. Matzo Ball Soup
Known as Jewish penicillin, matzo ball soup is a comforting starter. Light, fluffy dumplings float in a rich golden broth — a taste of home and healing for generations.
4. Beef Brisket
A centrepiece of Jewish celebrations, brisket is slow-cooked for hours until tender. At Unico Hotels, it’s infused with wine, herbs, and caramelised onions — pure comfort in every bite.
5. Rugelach
These sweet crescent pastries are a guest favourite. Filled with cinnamon, chocolate, or fruit preserves, Unico’s pareve version keeps them both indulgent and kosher.
6. Latkes (Potato Pancakes)
Crispy on the outside and soft within, latkes are a Hanukkah staple that everyone loves. Served with applesauce or sour cream, they’re a golden reminder of tradition.
7. Kugel
This sweet or savoury baked pudding blends noodles or potatoes with egg and sugar. Unico’s chefs elevate it with a hint of vanilla or herbs, creating a perfect side dish for any meal.
8. Chicken Schnitzel
A kosher-friendly favourite inspired by European cuisine, schnitzel at Unico Hotels is fried to perfection and served with lemon and fresh herbs — simple, crispy bliss.
9. Cholent
This slow-cooked Shabbat stew of beans, meat, and barley is hearty and symbolic. It simmers overnight to honour the prohibition of cooking during Shabbat — a dish of faith and patience.
10. Pareve Desserts
From dairy-free cheesecakes to coconut macaroons, Unico Hotels’ pareve desserts redefine kosher indulgence. Each creation satisfies the sweet tooth without breaking kosher boundaries.
