Food Scene

One of the most popular restaurants in Tel Aviv, you cannot make a reservation so only go if you are willing to wait 30 mins for a table. Having said that, the food is simply amazing, the vibes very cool, and everything is extremely cheap (it is one of the most popular spots for a reason).

Styled like a Greece ouzeria, with Greece and Mediterranean food. Great atmosphere and amazing food but beware he dishes are small (it is kind of a Greek tapas). We recommend trying the beetroot ravioli and the moussaka.

Very special restaurant with a mix of Mediterranean, Middle Eastern, Israeli food. Very good atmosphere and a good service. Ha’ Achim is a favorite spot for brunch (make sure to make a reservation ahead of time as it is very busy). However, any meal here is highly recommended, as it is one of the best moderately price restaurants in Tel Aviv. Don’t leave without trying their Challa bread and if it is the season, also try the avocado on the grill!
