If you focus not only on those restaurants that specialize in local cuisine, but also on other establishments, then you will have a huge choice. In a good restaurant in Jerusalem, the cost of lunch or dinner per person starts at $20, and then everything will depend directly on the order. Ordering wine or other alcoholic beverages can significantly impact your budget. But there may be exceptions to this rule. For example, the Azura restaurant is relatively inexpensive, but very interesting and colorful. It is located in the Mahan Yehuda market (in its Iranian part). The average bill per person here rarely exceeds $20 and averages around $15, or even cheaper.
First of all, this restaurant attracts visitors with its excellent Middle Eastern cuisine. The menu includes dishes from Iranian and Israeli cuisines, and the cooking technology has not changed over the years: food is cooked on primus stoves in huge pots. Some visitors are confused by the impressive queue at the entrance, but this is normal, as the restaurant is very popular among locals, who are sure that this is where they serve the most delicious hummus, goulash and Kubbeh soup. Well, democratic prices play an important role.
This restaurant is especially crowded in the first half of the day, but it is at this time that there is the largest selection of freshly prepared dishes. In the afternoon, the atmosphere is calmer, but the choice of dishes is much smaller. If you want to feel the local flavor and are not bothered by the simple interior and large number of visitors, then you can safely go to this establishment.
It will cost you an order of magnitude more to visit the Little Jerusalem restaurant, which is located in the western part of the city. This establishment will primarily appeal to those who prefer quiet, calm and romantic establishments. The restaurant’s luxurious outdoor terrace, located in the garden, deserves special attention. Lovers of meat dishes may be somewhat disappointed, as they are not on the menu. But there is a wide selection of pies, pancakes, various desserts and fish dishes. There is a special children's menu for children. Live music concerts take place three times a week (Wednesday, Thursday and Saturday). Most often they play traditional Jewish music and jazz. They usually start between 20:00 and 21:00.
Makhneyuda's restaurant delights visitors with a relaxed atmosphere, fresh food, noise and a large number of visitors. The restaurant has two halls, which are decorated in an original rustic style. There is a small bar on the ground floor. The establishment has several chefs who prefer Mediterranean cuisine. There is no permanent menu, it changes every day, depending on what products the chefs bought in the morning at the nearby market. The dishes are divided into several price categories, so you can eat here both for little money and for a tidy sum. Among the most popular dishes are entrecote, assorted seafood, and polenta with mushrooms. In addition, there is an impressive wine list, which includes local, French, and Italian wines. There are also stronger drinks: tequila, rum, grappa.
Once again, I would like to draw your attention to the fact that the locality is very noisy, there is always loud music, the chefs are quite artistic, they constantly put on different shows in the open kitchen. You shouldn't go here for a romantic lunch or dinner. The restaurant has an official website and it is best to book tables through it.
The Modern restaurant is located in the building of the Israel Museum. It is significantly different from other Israeli museums and specializes in original cuisine, combined with live music concerts that take place on Thursdays. However, the chef of this restaurant tries to follow all the traditions of Israeli cuisine. The menu is adjusted for seasonal factors, and special offers are available from Sunday to Thursday.
Among the pretentious and expensive restaurants in Jerusalem, it is worth paying attention to the Scala restaurant, which is located on the territory of the five-star The David Citadel Hotel. The cost of dinner per person at this establishment starts from $50. The chef offers guests his signature dishes, the main focus of which is Mediterranean cuisine. As befits a fine dining restaurant, the menu is quite modest: there are several appetizers, main courses and desserts.
In the heart of the Nahalat Shiva quarter there is a special establishment - the Tmol Shilshom restaurant. Initially, the establishment was conceived as a themed literary cafe, where writers, critics, and therefore other specialists in literary creativity were supposed to meet. Nowadays, the cafe maintains the status of a bohemian place where representatives of different movements in art gather. Various concerts, film screenings, musical evenings and many other cultural events are often held here. In addition to the cultural component, the restaurant can delight you with its delicious cuisine; many visitors come here to try tuna steak, salmon in fig sauce, various salads, and desserts. The restaurant's veranda is perfect for a romantic dinner.
Moving to Israel, people from different countries of the world brought with them not only culinary habits, but also construction styles. Yes, the parochialism and chaotic confusion of Tel Aviv’s buildings does not always allow one to enjoy the richness of the city’s colors, but perhaps this article will tell how and where to stay in Tel Aviv and fall in love with it.
In this selection, we have collected places where a person who has come to Israel for the first time, or has been living here for a long time, will be able to appreciate all the delights of the local cuisine, while remaining in the desired (by many) atmosphere of a good European level. It's about about the best hotel restaurants. And, best of all, in Israel the price tag in these restaurants is not much different from the price tag in other restaurants in the city - you shouldn’t be afraid to go to an expensive and beautiful hotel, because here they will pour you an average coffee for 10 euros. No, coffee in these places costs the same 3-4 euros, and prices for breakfast/lunch/dinner menus are at most 20% higher than average restaurant prices, and even then not everywhere. But the service, views and smiles of relaxed foreigners who have come on vacation will definitely contribute to a beautiful vacation.
Another nice bonus: most hotel restaurants are open 24 hours a day, or at least open very early.
Located on the street of the same name, Hotel Montefiore (named after the 19th century financier and philanthropist Moses Montifiore, who actively helped the Jewish population of Palestine) can please its visitors with a successful combination of location, history, interior decor and, of course, the exclusive menu of the hotel's eponymous restaurant . HisThe building, built in the 20s of the last century, is made in a style popular in Tel Aviv. This style of construction is distinguished by the fact that it mixes Roman classics, European-Mediterranean ease, Arabic arches and Jewish patterns.
The interior of the room is reminiscent of expensive European and American hotels from films: light walls, dark floors, leather armchairs inside and wicker chairs on the terrace, tall green plants around the perimeter. Despite the compactness and unconditional comfort, thanks to the high ceilings, there is a certain spaciousness here.
Having immersed yourself in the historical and cultural atmosphere of the hotel, you will not want to leave it. Therefore, of course, it’s worth going down to a local restaurant, which is part of the hotel, but at the same time operates autonomously, which means that here you can have breakfast, lunch, dinner or just drink a cocktail without spending the night in the hotel - which is what many do, with pleasure and regularity.
The morning menu will amuse you with the fact that first of all you will be offered a cocktail, such as a Bloody Mary, and only then you will see information about the food itself. The menu includes two “business breakfast” options for one and a paired “Breakfast for two” option. For particularly picky and picky visitors (of which there are many in hotels), all ingredients are presented separately, and you can make your own breakfast, but there is a risk of getting lost in this colorful variety of tastes. You will be asked to choose exactly how to cook the eggs, would you like to add Norwegian smoked salmon to the dish, or would you prefer traditional American bacon, or maybe even pancake? Cheese lovers also have plenty to indulge in - for breakfast they serve sheep feta, hard goat cheese, cream cheese, Dutch Gouda and diet Greek 4% yogurt. And, of course, a basket of bread topped with croissants, which is especially difficult to refuse.
The menu for lunch and dinner may seem modest, because it fits on one page, but there is also room for variety - from original seafood dishes (including oysters) to meat of any kind (I respect their most tender “Tika chicken” just as much as lamb ribs). . The wine list features Israeli and French wines in the first positions. Well, in order for all hotel guests to be satisfied, the bar offers an excellent selection of both classic and signature cocktails.
The average bill for breakfast will be about 150 shekels for two, an abundance of meat for lunch or dinner, accompanied by snacks and a glass of Israeli wine will cost a couple 300 shekels. There is also a promotion for business lunch: the price of the main course includes an appetizer and a small dessert.
Address: Montefiore 36, Tel Aviv-Yafo

The Norman
“There are more beautiful people than her, but there is nothing like her,” wrote Nathan Alterman, an Israeli poet and journalist, about his favorite city, Tel Aviv. (in Hebrew the word “city” is feminine – approx.), and so it is.and a vibrant city with a confident outlook on the future and a proud past can be explored by staying at The Norman, a stylish boutique hotel.
The hotel is located in the heart of Tel Aviv, close to Rothschild Boulevard, and combines the elegance of the 20s. last century with exclusive hosting and top-class service. The Normanoccupies, preserved in its original form, which preserve the luxury of the beginning of the last century. The hotel management has added modern luxury to it: a rooftop pool, a fully equipped gym, a spa and several gourmet restaurants.
The menu of the main restaurant, located on the ground floor, opening onto a spacious, bright veranda, combines touches of southern France and the Mediterranean, and is inspired by the old town of Nice, located near the Italian border. The chef creates in this restaurant Barak Aharoni, which every month adds some pleasant innovations (such as a completely fresh business lunch menu).
The usual breakfast menu has been supplemented with oatmeal with fresh berries and light (but quite voluminous) yogurt, and the evening menu includes 9 types of salads - from carpaccio to Caesar or grilled bell peppers - and another 9 types of main dishes - from squid to the leg of lamb. The atmosphere in the restaurant is light and pleasant, but still quite conservative, so the menu is small, and each dish deserves its place. The highlight is the wine list, featuring the best Israeli and European wines, including French vintage bottles from 1999.
Upstairs, on the pool terrace, there is a second restaurant, Asian. It's very tasty here, more expensive than downstairs, but the dessert menu has delicious ice cream green tea flavored ice cream. Downstairs, sitting with coffee on the veranda, you can also order it (without even finding it on the menu), and the waiters will bring you two thick, creamy scoops of this green ice cream on top.
An average dinner for two will cost about 400 shekels.
Wine list prices range from 30 shekels per glass to 3,000 shekels per bottle.

The Rotschild
Rothschild Boulevard, which bears the name of the French philanthropist, organizer and patron of the Jewish population in Palestine in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, is one of the most popular places in the city. And the hotel of the same name, The Rotschild, is located in the center of the boulevard, a little closer to HaBima Square. Even if you stay elsewhere, the facade of this building is worth paying attention to. Three ceramic human figures of three different colors silently broadcast from the balcony of one of the rooms. The best Israeli craftsmen worked on the decor of the hotel, performing exclusive work for luxurious rooms, staircases and corridors.
Interior items are made exclusively from natural materials such as wood, stone and ceramics. By staying in one of the rooms, you will have the opportunity to literally immerse yourself in modern Israeli design. And, by the way, the natural materials that predominate in the interior were not chosen by chance, but tell us how rich the land of Israel is, where we live and receive guests.
You can learn in detail about what else our land is rich in from the menu of the hotel restaurant. The boutique gastronomic bistro, which serves fine European cuisine with an Israeli twist, is considered one of the best restaurants in the entire country.
The best place to try at The Rotschild is delicious dessert in town (“bread pudding”), Confit duck leg, eye-catching “green shakshuka” (which is perhaps more beautiful, but not tastier than the regular tomato one), aromatic tofu steak and much more. You can read more about the restaurant menu, which contains many fish, meat, and vegan items, and our recommendations for it.
In order to provide diners with fresh, tasty, and most importantly healthy food, the Bistro cooks only with local ingredients, carefully selected from what is offered by farmers throughout Israel.
Average bill for two: 300 shekels.

Blue sky by Meir Adoni
If you find yourself in Tel Aviv, then you probably already realized that one of the attractions of this city is the sunset. It's truly breathtaking here as the bright orange or red sun descends across the pink sky and kisses the blue sea. A strip of the horizon, invisible during the day, fills with all shades of red - from white to scarlet, and with the onset of darkness the city changes again, beginning to glow with night lights. You can see all this by climbing higher in any of the high-rise buildings, including sitting on a comfortable chair on the veranda on the 15th floor of the Carlton Hotel, where the restaurant of the famous Tel Aviv chef is located Meira Adoni Blue Sky. From here you have a magical view of the city and the Mediterranean Sea.
It serves gourmet dishes prepared in accordance with Jewish tradition, that is, kosher (Kashrut is a set of religious rules establishing the suitability of dishes for food). That's why you won't find pork or shellfish in Meir Adoni's kitchen, and dairy is always served separately from meat.The menu features sophisticated ingredients of the highest quality and fluctuates on a seasonal basis. A rich selection of fish, a variety of fruits and vegetables, cheeses and olive oils will reinforce the “wow” effect of a sunset and a glass of good wine.
The menu has a section“Dinner&Wine”, where you will discover a sophisticated and contemporary menu, carefully crafted to create the perfect dinner for two for the reasonable price of NIS 430.

Chain of cafes with frozen yogurt Tamara.
Very tasty, large portions, huge selection of berries, nuts and sweets as a filling

Cafe Benedict (we were at 29 Rothschild Boulevasd) serves delicious breakfasts 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. 
// curlymariika.livejournal.com
Restaurant Old Man and the Sea in the port of Jaffa. 100% touristy place, but still worth a visit. The main course is served with about 20 appetizers, so you definitely won’t leave half-starved) I advise you to first wait for the hot dish and then start with the appetizers, otherwise when they bring you the delicious fish, you will no longer have room for food in your stomach)) 
// curlymariika.livejournal.com
before serving the main course - the entire table is covered in appetizers
Bread story cafe (Dizengoff 88) is a pleasant place with fresh pastries and delicious breakfasts. Great atmosphere, nice music. Prices are average for TA.
Wolfnight Burger (40 Lilenblum st) - ooh, great burgers! work on Shabbat
Manta Ray Restaurant is an expensive waterfront restaurant with floor-to-ceiling windows. The sea is stormy, and you leisurely sip their signature margarita, mmm... The impression was spoiled by the impudent waitress, who very openly hinted at tips, and we didn’t go here for dinner anymore. 
// curlymariika.livejournal.com
Don't be afraid of street food. For example, at the Carmel market, 2 grannies make an excellent sabich, the locals line up in a huge line, but then you have to eat while standing, this is the only negative 
// curlymariika.livejournal.com
Freshly squeezed juices and smoothies are sold at every turn. The best on the market in the Jaffa area

Art lovers should go to Jaffa- a city 4 thousand years old, on the edge of which Tel Aviv once perched. An unforgettable walk along the narrow streets paved with stone, where every meter seems to breathe history.

The galleries and shops display paintings, glass, porcelain, metal, handmade jewelry with magnificent stones, the prices are low - you can choose a delightful ring for 100 shekels or a set with earrings for 200. In Jaffa you will see hanging tree without roots- a symbol of Israel, an archaeological site, visit the nearby Church of the Apostle Peter, from where Christianity began to spread throughout the world. 
Tel Aviv is a young city, founded at the end of the 19th century. A private city tour with a Russian-speaking guide will be interesting; it will cost $300. Be sure to take a walk along the embankment at dusk: the beautiful lighting of monuments, hotels, and the lights of ships in the roadstead look romantic.
On the embankment there is a monument to Israeli teenagers who died at a disco from a terrorist bomb, there are plenty of playgrounds with rocking chairs, spinners, and “webs” of ropes, which is nice - free. 
Required object - Clock Square with square tower with a working clock mechanism - one of the first secular buildings. The city began as a bohemian quarter Neve Tzedek, there are designer boutiques and galleries. Must visit Museum of Antiquities, wish for something cherished on Bridge of Wishes. The city has monasteries, churches, theaters, Yarkon Park with unusual trees, Garden of Rocks and Cacti. On Rothschild Boulevard celebrities lived, there were many sculptures, Rabin Square there is a monument to the famous prime minister. Most attractions are free to visit.
Gentlemen, if you want to have fun for YOUR money, do not go to eat at the Baba Yag restaurant
This is not my first time at the Baba Yaga restaurant, I want to say that the restaurant has deteriorated terribly!!! If on previous visits I was pleasantly impressed by the level of service and the view, then this last time I was surprised - the waiters were rude to customers, the hall was not cleaned and there was dirt on the tables. Having looked at the unshaven face and dirty tights of the waiter (the waiter was in a dirty tracksuit), I lost my appetite. After paying for lunch with a card, another official brought the bill...

Excellent service, although the prices are a little expensive.
The restaurant is cozy, beautifully furnished and located in the center of Firn tzedek district. The pleasant courtyard we found ourselves in created a special atmosphere. The chef is very creative, lovingly preparing each dish and serving it as a masterpiece. The hamburgers, the shrimp are excellent, the entrecote is served with an amazing sauce, the magnificent foie gras rolls are simply delicious. Excellent service, although the prices are a little expensive. We will definitely return. ...

Italian restaurant in the center of Tel Aviv. With great food and great service. Delicious salads, various soups, everything is so tasty, prepared like at home. The waiters are friendly and tried to create a welcoming and cozy atmosphere. The pizza deserves special praise as it is very skillfully prepared, with a thinly rolled crust and a variety of toppings. I recommend it, I think we will all be satisfied. ...

We recommend you visit, you won't be disappointed.
While walking along Ben Yehuda St. in Tel Aviv we came across this place. Decorated in Japanese style, with a varied menu. We enjoyed wonderful Japanese sushi made with fresh fish and delicious noodles. The portions are huge, so we even shared them because we couldn’t finish them. The waiters are hospitable, with happy faces, so it was a pleasure to be there. We recommend you visit, you won't be disappointed. ...

Nice little bar on Ibn Gvirol
Nice little bar on Ibn Gvirol. Stopped in for a drink and it was just what we needed. The menu has a wide variety of carpaccio dishes, all made from fresh ingredients. This is carpaccio with salmon and a delicious sauce, with truffles, and you can even choose vegetarian, in general, for every taste. We also managed to enjoy wonderful tartar. It was cooked quickly and we didn't have to wait long. I can recommend a great place to get some food. ...

A great place to have a great time.
A great place to have a great time. Easy to find as it is located in the center of Tel Aviv close to the synagogue. The service is excellent with fast and helpful waiters. High quality food. Gorgeous sweet potato and beef stew with the most tender meat. The French toast is simply wonderful, wonderfully prepared, the best I've ever tasted in my life. In the evenings we listened to good music played by a DJ. ...

Small bar near Rabin Square Kikar
Small bar near Rabin Square Kikar. We found it by chance while passing by and didn’t regret it for a minute. Even though the place looked unsightly, we didn't pay any attention. Everything inside was clean and tidy, the service was pleasant, and the food was incredible. Great presentation on drinks and some of the cheapest prices in the area. Lively place with great music, I recommend visiting. ...

A very soulful place!
It's good that someone wrote about this restaurant! We read about it on Tripadvisor, and it was a lucky coincidence that we walked past. We went with our wives and children for dinner, and in the end, after a very hearty and tasty dinner, we sent our wives home and sat with our brother until closing! We ate very tasty, tried all sorts of whiskey, talked with the bartender about business, politics, etc. - we had a great time, good memories! We snacked on whiskey with herring and potatoes (very unexpected...

Wonderful bar in Jaffa - Jopea Kitchen Bar
Wonderful friendly bar/restaurant a stone's throw from the Jaffa flea market! Friendly staff, fast and professional service, warm homely atmosphere! A very interesting design: the doors on the ceiling are old, the wall of the bar is 4-5 meters high - all filled with bottles of all kinds of alcohol (they say they have more than 160 types of whiskey in stock!). The menu is not very extensive, but everything I tried there during 4 visits to the restaurant was very tasty: ceviche with avocado...

I can say that this place is not easy to find.
I can say that this place is not easy to find. It is perfect for a romantic dinner, given its unusual location. The dishes are skillfully presented, something you won’t find in any restaurant. We found a diligent waiter, so we can say that we were lucky. Because there were others who were clearly very slow in serving customers. But I had no complaints. A good place. ...

I will definitely return to this city
After I visited this establishment I had the best impressions! I really want to go back there again. I have never been to such a fabulous and beautiful restaurant like this one. The breakfasts here are simply amazing! So is coffee. The prices are reasonable, as for Tel Aviv they are not at all overpriced, and I liked that too. I noted this place as a big plus for myself. I will definitely return to this city, just for the restaurant! ...

I really liked this place
What I really liked about this place is that everything here is natural. There are no preparations in advance, delicious coffee is prepared, and the portions are so large that a man can easily fill himself up. I ordered some muesli and I liked it. They were fluffy and different from the store bought ones I was used to. The big plus is that it is inexpensive and tasty. ...

The restaurant is truly the best.
When we went to this restaurant, we were excited about what awaits us here. And this feeling did not deceive us. The restaurant is truly the best. Seats need to be booked in advance, I’ll tell you that right away. The service is great. The prices are certainly not small; for the four hours we spent here we paid 1000 shekels, this included alcohol and dessert. I haven't enjoyed dinner for a long time. ...

To me, this place is special.
To me, this place is special. We were here with friends at night and were very pleased with the service that was provided to us. The dishes were almost worse than during the day. So for those who like to eat at night, there is simply no better place than the Night Kitchen restaurant. At least I haven't seen anything like this. I advise you to visit if you are in Tel Aviv! ...

I think we were just lucky to find this restaurant!
I think we were just lucky to find this restaurant! In all of Tel Aviv, this is the best place that we visited during our vacation. The restaurant is located in a good area, it is very beautiful here. In addition to eating well, you can also observe the beauty of the surrounding area. You won't regret coming here. In Tel Aviv, this is the place you need to visit. ...

I really liked the yogurts they served here. Cool idea with a swing - it makes the restaurant stand out from others. The stylish design of the restaurant is reminiscent of childhood and leaves great memories after visiting it. The workers are smiling and joyful, which lifts the mood of any person. You can fill yourself up with yogurt and for such pleasure you will pay about 27 shekels. ...

It turned out that the restaurant is very expensive.
I read a lot of reviews about this restaurant. To be honest, I went there with unrealistic expectations that everything would be just a masterpiece! But. It turned out that the restaurant is very expensive. Yes, of course, the interior is beautiful, the food is served well, but the prices are high. There were so many people inside, it seemed like there was not enough space. It doesn't seem bad, but I really expected much more than I received. ...

In my opinion the restaurant is a bit expensive
In my opinion, the restaurant is a little expensive. There is no wine list available and it seems that the waiters name the price of wine out of their heads, and these figures are clearly higher than they should be!!! But the food was deliciously prepared, it was felt that the chef was trying, and not just cooking. I liked it. But due to such high prices, I’m not sure that I will return here. ...

we came to this restaurant on occasion
We came to this restaurant on the occasion of our friend's birthday. We didn’t know what kind of establishment this was, it was our first time. But we can say with confidence that all five of us were satisfied, as was the birthday boy. We were served free drinks and the food was very well prepared. Moreover, the cost was not as expensive as we expected. ...
We all, I'm just sure, travel. And it doesn't matter where. Go to the dacha to dig potatoes or relax on the Cote d'Azur. We will get hungry sooner or later anyway. And on an empty stomach, any excursion is not a joy. I’ll try to tell you how not to go hungry in Tel Aviv.
Let's start with one of the most famous places in TA. Brasserie.
This restaurant is located at Even-Gvirol, 70. Directly opposite Rabin Square. There you will be served French cuisine with hints of Asia. I admit honestly, I worked there when I ran to restaurants once a year and gained experience. I recommend. If you like to eat delicious food, then this is the place for you. In addition, for an order of 250-300 shekels, they will give you something else worth 70 shekels at the establishment’s expense. Everything would be fine, but the atmosphere in the hall and on the street is terrible. It's very crowded, the waiters and cooks are almost over your heads. In general, they create the atmosphere of a Brasserie (French dining room). But the food is excellent, as are the products. One of the few restaurants that only serves fresh meat. Ice cream is categorically not acceptable. I recommend trying steak tartare and pork rib. Consolidation!
Another meat restaurant. More precisely, the network and more precisely, only meat. "Rak Basar". Average service, but high quality products. Nothing extra. All types of kosher (not pork or dog) grilled meats and a very limited salad menu. I admit there is a mistake here too. 2 years ago I helped create a menu and food cost, but was mercilessly cheated out of money:) Of all the restaurants in the chain, I recommend the restaurant in Yafo, on Salame Street? 19 (in English, the signs say Shelma) The wine they serve is disgusting. Therefore, gourmets will not like it. But there is one wonderful thing. Once a month they do a meat festival. You pay 180 shekels and eat as much as you like. Entricots, kebabs, fillets and more. I recommend fillet cooked medium rare. Super!
And now, economy class. Shawarma, or, as the locals say, shuarma. The most famous network of such shwarmen is "Dabush". Here everything is calculated in proportion. Taste, quality, speed of service. I myself often ate at Dabush after work at Brasserie. There are a lot of branches. You won't pass by. There are always a lot of people there.
Well, now to fish and seafood. Undoubtedly, the leader is the pearl of Tel Aviv seafood cuisine "Mul Yam". Expensive, tasty, prim. All. The restaurant is located in the port of Tel Aviv. You won’t pass by, at most, ask anyone and they will tell you. But, get ready to shell out at least 500 shekels per person and book your seats in advance. The maximum number of seats there is 70. And here your humble servant gained experience. Yes. There's actually a lot to learn there. But there is something to eat. I recommend "Mussels Marinière" and "Fish Tartare". Although, I think they have already changed the menu since then.
In the port of Yafo, in the market building itself (Shuk), there is a cozy Spanish restaurant "Rockah Yam". Good value for money. Just a warning, if you see a tall, awkward man working on frying pans, wearing a short-sleeve shirt, order something from the cold kitchen or deep-fryer. The place is interesting because everything is prepared before your eyes. Cut salad, fry octopus or fry French fries. Medium size portions. The average price per serving is 50 shekels. There is a good collection of wines. Also, you have a chance to dislike the author personally. This is where I work now. I recommend the octopus with new potatoes in olive oil and sea bass saviche! Thing!
“The Old Man and the Sea” or “Zaken Veayam” or, in common parlance, manufactory. A huge two-story fish and meat restaurant in the port of Yafo, right across the wall from the Rokah Yam. They bring a lot of food, there are a lot of salads, the portions are huge, and they are cheap. There is one minus, though. Tasteless and stale. It’s not good, of course, but I’d prefer to warn you. They can bring you “Fresh! mullet, which has been in the refrigerator for 2 weeks. The cooks are all illegal immigrants from the Palestinian territories. And why the factory, well, judge for yourself. The restaurant processes 3 tons (!!!) of frozen squid in the weak winter month. About what taste can we talk? But if you want to fill your stomach, please. If I’m smoking on the street at this moment, I’ll tell you where the entrance is.
