    Lots of potential in this place. Service was friendly and relaxed, tables outside on a sunny day where lovely. The cauliflower, aubergine carpaccio, veal sweetbread and chicken souvlaki were good. Portions are quite small for the price. The beetroot ravioli was quite bland and disappointing. Overall good but just expensive for the portion sizes.

    Had a private dinner at Ouzeria next door. Everything was absolutely perfect!! The More Foods vegan dish was the favorite of the night, a plant based protein made from pumpkin and sunflower seeds! Very cool!

    I came across Ouzeria from Bloomberg's list of best restaurants in Tel Aviv. We were not disappointed. The atmosphere is hip and laid back just like its surrounding neighborhood. The food is here eclectic and playful and drew a large influence from Spain. Most dishes are like tapas and meant to be shared, while some dishes had a Israeli spin to it. I took off one star because no single dish really blew us away but we found the entire experience to be very pleasant. The place is not cheap but if you can manage to get here when they open and avoid the typical long wait, Ouzeria is definitely worth a try!

    A lovely small place with family like staff. The food is mid to high end middle eastern/Greek. The cocktails are also memorable and worth the $.

    Cool Greek themed restaurant in the Levinsky market area. The area is liveliest on a Friday before Shabbat. The food was delicious, portions were a little small, but overall very fulfilling.

    Wow. Great food. Really beautiful cooking. I liked the eggplant as a stater, the bread was on point. I feel that the spicy source plate I took should have been served as a part of the deal though. I would go there again! So should you. My wife said it was a pleasant evening (!)

    Fantastic place. Friendly staff, good music and delicious food. We had the cauliflower, tahini, and house bread to start, all incredible. And then took the servers recommendations and ordered the grilled artichoke and the rump cuts (steak). Also very good! We will definitely be back! We went on a Wednesday night and waited about 15 minutes for a table.

    A must when in telaviv. Woman Chef - complex flavors, aesthetically presented, absolutely delightful.

    Great food, very friendly and pro staff, perfect atmosphere!! Well done!

  • 5/5 Ron S. 1 year ago on Google
    Amazing food. Listen to the waiters and follow their recommendations, good time guaranteed. Music was a bit too loud, so if you wanna talk-dont count on it.

  • 5/5 Ignacio W. 9 months ago on Google
    What a fantastic place! Some of the best food I had in Tel Aviv, and that's saying something! Every dish was an explosion of flavour, carefully presented and in right-sized portions. I had the cauliflower, artichoke and anchovies... One better than the other. Cannot recommend enough!

  • 2/5 Nagy G. 1 year ago on Google
    Okay food but totally overpriced compared too peers in the area. Service on the other hand was extremely underwhelmingly poor, no reaction from waiters, eventually we had to help ourselves out after 20-25 minutes. At the end it seems the service fee was compulsory even if you are not satisfied, minimum 10%. In general a pretty awful experience.

    Some of the best Mediteranean food ever.

  • 5/5 Noam N. 1 year ago on Google
    Very good! Original and tasty food, and amazing atmosphere and very cool and smiling waiters. It’s rare to find a place where you feel like home. Especially if Raquel is taking care of your table! She is like a sunshine during the night. Thank you for your incredible service every time we come. We’ve been told that she is on holidays, we will be back only when she returns! See u soon Ouz 🍾🍴

    Lovely staff steered is toward the specials on the menu. Very happy! Outside tables are the best. Home made pickles are TDF.

  • 5/5 Art M. 10 months ago on Google
    This place is an absolute gem. Probably the best restaurant Ive been to. Sat by the bar and watched the chef make magic with the dishes. Greaat service, food, and atmosphere

  • 2/5 Florian W. 10 months ago on Google
    Not sure where all the 5 star ratings come from. Some mention the atmosphere. I was here for lunch, so maybe the atmosphere doesn’t come out during the day. The food was very average though and pricey even for this part of town.

  • 4/5 Itamar L. 2 years ago on Google
    Very good food and vibe. Would be 5 stars if the air conditioning was better...

  • 5/5 Cerrill M. 6 years ago on Google
    The pace is hopping with a lunchtime crowd clearly enjoying their respective meals. There want an peeing on the menu I didn't want to try. The next time I go I'd like to try their vegan offering. Go and enjoy.

  • 5/5 Sam G. 2 years ago on Google
    Awesome vibes, incredible Mediterranean style menu of sharing plates and super passionate staff.

  • 4/5 Richard B. 4 years ago on Google
    The food is fantastic and the service as well! The only downside was it's a very small restaurant and the bathrooms were somewhat disastrous. The meal was just over $100 for 2 small dishes, 2 mains, 2 glasses of wine (good value). The bartender also gave us a couple of free shots which was nice. The flavors of the dishes were fantastic. Would highly recommend asking about the specials.

    💯🥇🏆Ouzeria is one of those places that leaves you wanting to come back for more, just to try everything out since everything was just perfect! Winner of the evening was definitely the Rump Steak, which was tender, juicy and rich in flavor. The Ceviche was really good too. The service is quick and really friendly and the dishes come out as soon as they are ready, with no specific order. Desert was a semi frozen Creme Brule, which was unique and yummy.

    Cozy place to stay. The kitchen is open, from the bar you can see it. It's nice to see how harmoniously they work together. Risotto and salad were ready fast, they were delicious.

    Outside dining. Enjoy the street scene in Shuk Levinsky. Try the anchovy chips, fabulous tomato cherry jam and cheese bruschetta, chicken souvlaki, beet 'ravioli'

    Great atmosphere. Good for celebrating at noon. Sharing food and very nice cocktails.

  • 4/5 Eve 2 years ago on Google
    Nice place. We came to celebrate our friends birthday. Two table groups around us celebrated also birthday and the staff sang to them, made hagigot. After that it felt weird to ask for any special treatment for us, so we just skipped that. Music is great, food is tasty but really expensive and with small portions. Everyone in our table group seemed disappointed about the portion sizes. I recommend eating before coming here, this is more for drinking and for snacking.

  • 4/5 Zsuzsi B. 2 years ago on Google
    I really enjoyed the dishes the bread which is poisonous (very white, hot, soft, crispy) and the artichoke dish. Unfortunately the maid dish the Chicken souvlaki never arrived and I was patient. When they asked if we wanted something else with a bit of stress I mentioned my souvlaki but the waitress told it wasn't in my order. She told it was a miscommunication. She did not hear or paid attention. My companions heard it. It happens and I was already full but still. :/ My main problem was the attitude when they called me back to pay via phone as they had issue with the card terminal. When I told the amount I would pay and clarified the right number I continued talking when the caller cut me off and started to complain with a lifted voice about the tip. "what about the tip???" she told they didn't get enough, somebody left only whatever amount. I was about asking her to add 12% to the amount I paid. Prices a bit strong and the quality, comfort of the restaurant are not reflecting in that but this is subjective. I know. Food was very nice but not all. The tip... Please pay them better so they don't shout about it begging.

    Along with Dalida, these are the best restaurants in Levinski market. All dishes are divine along with a great selection of wines. Waiters are down to earth, fun and service oriented.
