Restaurant Tel Aviv - The 10 best restaurants Tel Aviv - Israël in 2024

Practical information : Eating out Tel Aviv

Timetable

In Tel Aviv, most restaurants are open from late morning until evening. They usually offer continuous service until the kitchen closes, which varies from one restaurant to another (never before 11pm). Unlike Jerusalem and other Israeli cities where most restaurants close for the Sabbath, from Friday afternoon to Saturday night, you will have no trouble eating in Tel Aviv. Many cafes and restaurants stay open and it's even the busiest night of the week when all the young people get together to party.

Budget & Tips

The cost of living is quite high in Israel, especially in Tel Aviv. As far as food is concerned, you can get away with eating shawarmas, hummus and other falafels very cheaply. There is a way to get by for less than 25 NIS a meal, but in the long run it can get tiresome. Otherwise, you can always do your shopping at the market or supermarket. Most hotel rooms are equipped with a fridge, and some even have a kitchenette. If you want to sit down to eat, it will cost you at least 45 NIS. For a real restaurant, with drinks, count on a minimum of 100-150 NIS. Many restaurants offer business isskiot packages with starter, main course and dessert at attractive prices.

The local way

In the great Israeli metropolis, eating is a local sport. We eat everywhere, at all hours and often on the go in front of a sandwich stand, a shawarma or a falafel.

To be avoided

Leaving without leaving a tip. The Israelis always tip even if the waiters are not the most smiling or cheerful. They are often students who have a "small" job next to their studies. The tip, which usually corresponds to 10 to 15% of the bill, is payable in cash as well as in credit card, in which case you will have to indicate that you wish to include it when you pay the bill.

Kids

Israel is a very "family friendly" country and Tel Aviv is no exception to the rule. On weekends, you will see parents eating breakfast with their offspring on their knees at every café terrace. Many restaurants offer children's menus, and be sure to find a pasta, French fries or schnitzel dish to suit every taste.

Smokers

The legislation is the same as in France, normally smoking is not allowed in restaurants except in terraced areas.
