Marcel is a kitchen and bakery shop that offers healthy cuisine made with seasonal and locally sourced food and prepared with Mediterranean focus.

Meny Vaknin, the owner and executive chef of Marcel and Mishmish Cafe, came to United States from Israel with the dream of becoming a professional chef. He set out to acquire a thorough knowledge of new and classic techniques, graduating with honors from the prestigious French Culinary Institute.

While he employs the skills and expertise acquired in his formal studies, in creating his dishes, he evokes the rich culinary legacy of Morocco that he was taught – with love – from his mother and grandmothers.
