Heading to Tel Aviv and I'm looking for the best restaurants to try while I'm visiting. Open to all types of food! What are your top places to eat?
The Italian restaurant Rustico Restaurant try it. The people from the Italian embassy used to eat there. I love it.
For a really nice restaurant try Herbert Samuel or Mantaray. For delicious dips and Israeli food go to The Old Man And The Sea. For great sushi try Moon. Try walking through Florentine and going to Murphy's or Changos. ARIA Second floor Restaurantis another great place that is a little expensive. Buddha Burgers is an amazing vegan place. Anita's has amazing ice cream.

Upscale Israeli comfort food at Miznon on King George 30
Israeli vegan at Anastasia on Frishman 54
Seafood at Barbunia on Ben Yehuda 192
Try The The Prince in Nahalat Binyamin. It's a rooftop bar, it's chill, it's cheap and so many cool people around! I can also recommend
Mentioned in this answer:
Cafe Piazza- on Dizzingof st.
Piccola pasta - on Ben Yehuda st.
If you're looking for a bit more "authentic" local food - you can go the HaTikva in south Tel Aviv. There's a lot of good simple israeli restaurants like Keisar and Bussi.

Chlenov St 27 is a wonderful place for vegan Ethiopian food. It's inexpensive and the service is very friendly .
I also love Bar Kayma, another vegan place with delicious food, a rich menu and a friendly atmosphere. I often take guests from abroad there, because I know they'll love the food ;)
