ABOUT.
THE NAKED IDEA.
Naked Tomato is Chef Eyal Shani's celebration of the ingredient in its most honest form — seasonal, market-driven, and unapologetically simple. The menu moves with what's ripe, what's beautiful, what demands to be eaten right now. Rough and fine, familiar and surprising, it's the kind of place where a perfect tomato can stop time. Now open in Miami Beach, and coming soon to Brooklyn.

ABOUT CHEF EYAL SHANI
Chef Eyal Shani was born in Jerusalem in 1959. His culinary passion was first instilled in him by his grandfather, an agronomist and a dedicated vegan, who exposed him to local markets, fields, and vineyards from a young age. In 1989, he opened his first restaurant "Oceanus" in his home town of Jerusalem. There, he developed a unique culinary language based on regional Mediterranean products: olive oil, fish, tahini, fresh seasonal vegetables and of course, the tomato.
Joined by his partner, Shahar Segal, the duo operates over 50 restaurants globally across New York, Tel Aviv, Paris, Melbourne, Singapore, Las Vegas, and London - spanning beloved concepts like Miznon, HaSalon, Michelin-starred Shmoné, and more - and the tomato remains at the very essence of who Shani is.
