Some of the Best Restaurants in Tel Aviv

Hummus, falafel, shawarma, shakshuka, and knafeh are all considered delicacies from Israel. And although any local will give you a different account,  the question of where these meals actually originally came from is still up for contention.

Why is the food in Israel so diverse?

It has developed through many years, influenced by Jewish festival customs, dietary restrictions (kashrut), and Sabbath customs. 

The economy, agriculture, and culinary traditions of the several nations where Jewish communities have established have a big impact on Jewish food as well, which differs greatly throughout the world.

Meatos' Fish Market

The eatery serves a variety of fish and dairy dishes and is an Israeli interpretation of a Greek tavern. 

It's a terrific place to have a meal with friends and family or a business lunch. 

There is a positive atmosphere at the restaurant, and the setting and design are stylish but relaxed.

West Side, Royal Beach Tel Aviv

Although the hotel setting considerably lessens the ambience and detracts from the cuisine and service at West Side, it is still the ideal place for a business or formal supper.

Traditional Mediterranean cuisine with some Middle Eastern influences is available on the diverse and inventive menu. Make sure to pique your appetite with either the Brioche with schug or the Jerusalem Bagel with tahini and tomato.
