    An OK food for a high price. We were 8 friends, paid around 220 ILS each and when we left, the only thing we wanted is to eat something as we stayed hungry. The service was awesome but this place doesn't justifies the costs they ask. For example: The Paella cost 84 ILS and the taste just isn't good, mos def for the price. We won't return again.

    The food is really great, a restaurant that is under the tree settings, full outdoor, lovely

    This is one of the best tapas bars I've visited at Tel-Aviv. It is open, under a massive tree has a great atmosphere and cozy lights. We were 4 people sharing all the dishes so we could taste as much as possible. We ended up ordering almost all the menu. I can't say there was a dish that was bad, everything was delicious. But, I would say that we all agreed that the leek was outstanding, and so was the red Tuna tartar. Service was great, and everything we ordered came out extremely fast! Prices are decent, adding the bill. There is affordable parking nearby.

    I am regular customer and lately notice a decline. Orders are messed up, same cocktail comes different taste and different quantity in every order, overall lack of standards and following of some basic recipes and quantities. Food is still mainly good but a bit more control is needed in order to bring it back up to its previous quality of service. Entrecôte was fairly good. Shawarma meat was greasy and tasteless on huge piece of pita. Too much bread for little meat. Chips was literally 2 pieces.

    Beautiful location; upper scale garden bar type vibe. The server was very friendly and courteous. He offered us complimentary shots of a liqueur mixed drink. The server recommended the entrecôte. I was a bit hesitant since it’s the most expensive item on the menu, but I went with it anyway. Glad I did because it was absolutely delicious. Perfectly cooked (asked for medium rare) and excellently seasoned. Just the right amount of salt, and the flavour of the meat was fantastic. Certainly one of the best steaks I’ve had this year. My only criticisms would be: I would have preferred it served not chopped. An extra side like some greens or other veggies would have been nice. The steak was pretty big, and the mashed potato was good but something else to balance it would have been nice. If you like an outdoor bar-like atmosphere this place is perfect for you.

    Very nice bar/restaurant. All dishes are mostly small tapas, and are pretty tasty. The vibe is awesome, the waiters are very attentive. Overall a very good experience. However if you really want to eat, thats probably not the best place since the dishes are small and the prices add up a lot if you buy an amount to fill you up. Otherwise, it's good. IMPORTANT: there are ONLY bar stool seating, and if I recall correctly there are a few steps as well. So, not accessible for wheelchair users.

    I went to Vicky Christina’s for a nice dinner, we are all broke students but decided to splurge on a nice meal. One of our friends is deathly allergic to nuts, she had a conversation in Hebrew with our waitress about how serious this allergy is. The waitress said she understood. Our first course comes out and the salad had nuts in it. Unfortunately my friend did not notice until it was too late, she ate one. We alerted the staff and they were apologetic but kept insisting it was a mistake and there was nothing they could do. We understood it was a mistake but it was mistake that could potentially be deadly. They replaced the salad that had the nuts and another dish that was contaminated but when the bill came they had left on the original salad that almost killed my friend. We told the manager it was unacceptable and we would not pay for it, she refused to take it off and instead brought us a complementary dessert we did not ask for, when we said we didn’t ask for dessert we wanted to not pay for the salad she said they can take it back they just wanted to do a nice gesture. Additionally the manager told my friends who was mid reaction that she was ”lucky it was only in one dish”. As someone who has grown up in the restaurant industry I think this restaurant completely mishandled the situation. They were not willing to take full responsibility for the incident and in my opinion they could have done more to apologize. I would not go back to this restaurant and I would warn anyone with a serious allergy that this place is not cautious

    One of may favorite tapas restaurants! A large variety of dishes, all very yummy and high level quality. Already been here a few times and always love to return. The design is very special and influenced by the Barcelona Gaudi style, plus the atmosphere is very chilled and fun. Highly recommended!

    incredible spot - would really recommend to anyone visiting TLV. Lovely great quality options for wine and food, very adaptable space would be good for romantic night or with family / friends.

    Safe feeling at this corona times.. big distance between people. Been here years ago and still good experience. Food is simple and well prepared. Papas dish is a must and the beef fillet very good. Spanish music should be updated.. this is tourists music. Nothing like alcohol with evening breeze. Really enjoyed it.🔥

    The food is really tasty but really really small dishes. It's a little bit expensive for the amount of food you receive. But yes, the food is really tasty!

    That was good. My husband set on a wet chair , cause it was not wiped after the rain. He got sad, but the hostess really wanted to help, so we got one dish as a gift. Plus it was really tasty. Thank you.

  • 2/5 Ronit B. 11 months ago on Google
    The food was ok but not value for money. Atmosphere and decor was nice. When we ordered food the waitress was telling us we didn't order enough for 3 people ( she was wrong) . The dessert came 20 minutes after we ordered it.

    Beautiful place with great food, though sadly they don't have many vegan options.

    Incredible food, great vibe, and speedy service! Every single thing we ordered was tasty - I highly recommend the roast beef bruschetta, cauliflower, potatoes and of course dessert! It’s a fun place to go with a group & share food :)

  • 3/5 A. G. 1 year ago on Google
    We went there for dinner. The food was ok, but not more. Everything was very oily and serving one sliced bread to a full can on anchovies does not really match proportions. The service was kind and attentive. I would not come again.

    Great place to chill and nice food

  • 5/5 Ghada S. 2 years ago on Google
    Great food, great atmosphere, great service. Best hamburger. I loved it

  • 3/5 Yoni Z. 1 year ago on Google
    The location is so nice, it makes you wish the rest was better. The food arrived before the cutlery (there was none on our table qnd we had to ask for it). They also try to up sale you while you order - not a nice feeling. We almost finished the food until I had to remind them that I ordered a (over priced) cocktail. And lastly, when the food arrives to quickly, it make you wonder.

    New place in the Old Railway Station site in Tel Aviv. Great selection of food which is cross between tapas and mains. Mini burgers were great and the steak. Barcelona draft beer and French Rose from St Tropez. Expensive but great fun!

    Great food, great atmosphere. Fantastic service, with a shot on the house. Would definitely revisit

  • 5/5 Jerry S. 2 years ago on Google
    Nice restaurant, with cool environment, you can set outside, where they have cool huge bar tables, the music was great (my type) jazz, Spanish kind of music, the food is really tasty though the meal is quite small, but really worth it for someone who want to enjoy a drink, and grab something to eat, Try the little burger, and trust the waiter when come to cocktail advice, The place situated deep inside the old train station of tel aviv, Definitely recommend.

  • 5/5 Dennis N. 2 years ago on Google
    Still one of the best restaurants in Tel Aviv. Best value for money and most romantic atmosphere. Great for Valentine's day

    Disappointment. We went to dine here after 4 years that we haven't been there. The food was not good. Only the name remained.

  • 4/5 Anna E. 2 years ago on Google
    Beautiful place, such a great atmosphere, but expensive and of course not very close to the dishes you can taste in Spain. But with huge Sangria pitcher you will like it here:)
