Guidebook for Tel Aviv-Yafo
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).
