    Real fine dining in TLV.. In summer evenings sit outside, the restaurant has a nice outdoor section. I LOVED the shushbarak. Although it does not resemble its namesake - the Arabic meat dumplings - but nevertheless, these are quite awesome dumplings! We ordered them twice.

    This is one of my favorite TLV restaurants for quite a while now.. Ive been coming here occasionally since 2016. Recently they have a new chef and listen to me: it’s a game changer!!! The guy has a mischelin star and it shows!! Everything we ordered was amazing.. the service is great (not typical tlv service) and the atmosphere is chill and classy. The place is pricey, but soooo good value for money!!!

    Excellent chef restaurant led by Gal Ben Moshe which is the owner of the PRISM restaurant that got a Michelin Star in Berlin! We came to a friday dinner . We recieved the square table in the middle of the restaurant. The food was delicious,we had some gluten free and Vegan options (not to many, the dishes just excluded te gluten where is possible). The restaurant located in the middle of Tel Aviv connected to the Tel Aviv Museum of Art. There is a big parking under the restaurant so it was very easy to find a parking. The dishes were very tasty, contemporary menu, fresh fish from the local fishermen. The price was a bit expensive, paid around 2200 ils for 6 people. The clientele were families, couples, business partners (I suppose...) as the restaurant is prestige and well designed and even won in 2014 the first place at the Space Design Award Idea-Top . The atmosphere was nice ,not to noisy ,the music was nice . The service was excellent, the waiter took an order from each one of us and took notes about the allergies of the members to try to change the dishes if possible. I think the only thing that annoyed me a bit is that the plates were a bit sticky when I touched some of them (sticky like... not so clean). In overall the restaurant is excellent and I will probably come back for another dinner. Very recommended.

    Excellent addition to museum of art visit. Very tasty food and amazing service, haven't experienced such professionalism in a long time. We had calamari as a starter and wellington as a main. Both dishes had an amazingly unexpected twist, chicken stock in calamari and pistachio in wellington! Of course as expected from the place prices are on the high side but it's special place with great atmosphere so I recommend you give it a try 😁

    The food was amazing! They just changed the Chef to Gal Ben Moshe and we took the 10 course meal and every dish was outstandingly tastey and unique. Definitely a michelin star culinary experience. The only downside the desserts weren't the greatest and quiet salty. But with a meal so incredible we were so full and I would still give it a 5 star.

    Disappointing. Ordered two Tasting courses from the menu. Glass of wine and sparkling water. Only a single desert was served at the end. The bill included two drinks which we didn't ordered, but served to the table. Total Bill ~ 700 NIS. The dressing of the main dish was the same as the starter. The receptionist asked me several times to confirm my name, order and table details after we were seated. The service was polite but not welcoming.

    My family and I came here to celebrate a family matter. We each ordered a main course, and we also ordered 4 starters to share. Every single item was incredible!! The best configurations of tastes, smells and appearance... Prices are on the very high end, so this is definitely a planner I would recommend to keep for special occasions. You definitely will enjoy!!

    The place is beautiful and pleasing for the eyes. The receptionist, waiters and bartenders was not friendly no carisma very grumpy, never coming back to a place where the experience of the service is not applicable to the place full of elegance. Hospitality 0.

    Summary: There are far better places in Tel Aviv. Especially when you factor in the cost. Long version: We had the tasting menu. The setting is beautiful, but the food was not nearly as inspired and elevated as I expected given the chef's impressive credentials. Most of the dishes were just okay. The dessert was the exception and bright spot of the meal.

    We went here for my birthday. The service was great and the food was good. Overall it was a really good experience. We had a complementary dessert which is a bonus 😁 and they change one of our meal when we said we didn't like it. Looking forward to come back.

    My wife and I came to celebrate our 2nd wedding anniversary. Our waitress, Maya, was very nice, informative and attentive. The food was extraordinary, and we received some treats on the house. really one of the best experiences we’ve had from a local high end establishment. Thank you so much ❤️

    Very high quality foods and great service. Upscale. We especially enjoyed the carrot soup and ravioli!

    pros: - The waiters are polite. - The food has some unique flavors. cons: - The acoustic in the place is trouble. I could not hear the person sitting next to me (and the place was half empty). - Although it was highly recommended to take the "taste" courses, fix price for multiple dishes, (and all the other tables took it as well) The best ones were not included. - A lot of dishes are trying to be too sophisticated (Like putting hyssop in a dessert - as it sounds, not very tasty).

  • 5/5 Konstantin S. 1 year ago on Google
    Every dish we tried, it was amazing, tasty and originally crafted. We got a sit at the bar table. Barman was very kind to us, he asked our favors and suggested to try. Coctail "The green one" was superb 👌. I would suggest to make dishes bigger, because 1 main dish for adult is not enough for the dinner. Bottom line, I recommend visiting this place and enjoy the food!

    I was on Thursday at noon. The place was completely full and it did not interfere with the excellent service I received. A pleasant atmosphere that invites you to come back again. As for serving wine I expected more and I hope in this area they will get better

    I came with my child and the service was fantastic. They brought out the food quickly and gave special attention to any adjustments we wanted. She ate it all. We loved it.

  • 2/5 Moshe V. 2 years ago on Google
    Very expressive, average food, average and below desserts... Doesn't worth it... On the plus side, very good service.

  • 5/5 Michael K. 2 years ago on Google
    Highly recommended! One of the best restaurants in Tel Aviv. The food was excellent and the portion size was just right. The service was highly professional as well. Definitely would come back again!

    Excellent restaurant! I’ve ate in quite a few chef restaurant and i had a really great experience there. The food was very good, the service also and the design of the place is very stylish. Would definitely come back

    5 stars for an expensive restaurant without any justeefication. Prices are not connected to any fair standard of food. Even for a glass of csmpari soda they charge extra charge for a tiny soda glass bringing it to 40 us dollars for a csmpari soda. It would be cheaper to fly to Rome and eat there the hot lobster salad was not hot and not a salad. The zuchini pasta was an average pasta one can find in any pasta stand in elsewhere. The only benefit from this restaurant was my decision not to be stupid again and refrain from spending time and money for no reason.

    We have been to Tel Aviv many times and every time we have to go to Pastel. The food is fantastic - both for your brain and stomach, the service is excellent - they care for you and the atmosphere is something you remember. Go go go there!
