The culinary world in cartoons inspires chefs worldwide particularly restaurants.

The cartoon Disney stars and Chef Shahaf Shabtay invited us to Pop & Pope restaurant for an exceptional culinary experience.

Culinary scenes of cartoons. The Disney world is made up of stars with favourite dishes who have their signature on the way of food.

This lunch was designed and aimed at introducing the five stars of “printed” culinary experience. A big screen in the restaurant live streamed a video feed from the kitchen.

Before each dish a relevant Disney Cartoon scene was shown on the screen. A live projection followed from the kitchen where the dishes were prepared accompanied by explanation from Chef Shahaf on what we are looking at.

Lunch started with a reception that included cocktails with sushi snacks. Throughout the first part of the event a pianist played music from the movies by Raviv Lieberzrr. Then we made the "Kabalat Shabat" (Saturday reception)
