    Cafe Cucu in Dizengoff Square, Tel Aviv, is a hidden gem! The coffee is excellent, boasting rich flavors that satisfy any coffee aficionado. The food is equally impressive, with a diverse menu featuring mouthwatering dishes to suit all tastes. From savory to sweet, they've got it all covered. But what truly stands out is their impeccable service - attentive, friendly, and always with a smile. The cozy ambiance adds to the overall experience, making it the perfect spot to relax and indulge in a delightful culinary journey. Highly recommended!

    We came on a Tuesday evening for a few drinks and things to eat . We didnt wait long to be seated (we didnt make a reservation). From the menu, we had the Arancini, cauliflower sinia and the kale salad with white wine and cold tea brew. Everything was so delicious and fresh! Portions were not huge (as those were entree/medium sized dishes) but it was very decent. We enjoyed the lovely atmosphere and music. Would come back again!

    I went here 4 times in 2 weeks. The food is usually on point. Fresh and tasty. I had literally everything off the menu. The standards are good and the prices are still within reason in this unreasonable world. Good VFM. They make it a point to come and ask if everything is okay, so I felt comfortable to comment when the buche crossiant tasted a bit stale (but we still enjoyed it a lot). They took it off the check, in a super classy way. We did not expect it at all! But we appreciated it. Especially coming from the industry. It feels great when the customer experience is everything. And it is definitely worth it because I will keep coming and recommending the place. The street noise is a bit much at times, but the atmosphere is great. ❤️

    Stellar meal in Tel Aviv! Each dish better than the last, and such good wine too! The service was excellent too - and they gave us a complimentary dessert! I especially loved the eggplant / cauliflower / tahini dish. And the sea bass entree was a close second. Or maybe it was the kale salad,.. tough to choose!

    Been here a number of times already. A little ob the fancy side but OK price wise and great to just chill and work from. Or have cocktails/brunch with friends. The croissants were amazing, and I really liked the coffee. Just avoid Friday mornings as the place is buzzing then.

    I love this place! The service every time, that I have been here, is so sweet! Tasty cocktails and interesting serving of meals. Important to add: difficult to catch up free places without booking in advance (or be ready to wait some time for a table) and a little bit loudy (especially near to the bar) btw, I am not considered it as disadvantaged 🧡

    Me and my mother came here and ordered a couple dishes to try! The menu was very easy to order from. The scallop dish was a little over cooked and the scallops were rubbery, but the flavor was good. The mozzarella and tomato salad really doesn’t need the horseradish, it’s extremely overpowering when it’s sprinkled on the top. It’s interesting to add, but it’s not necessary. The fish was actually really good for me, but not everyone would like it since it has a strong olive oil taste. I thought it was the best dish though. The shrimp dish was definitely over cooked and the bread was soaked in oil. Overall the mean was good! Was it amazing? No. But it was good. Would come back here, but I’m not running to get here.

    We had a lovely experience. Got a table overlooking the street so we could people watch while we eat the delicious food. The eggs Benedict were really good and the cheesecake was so creamy. I liked that they serve brunch until 4 pm. Order a table before you come!

    Great place, worth waiting (but better to book ahead). Benedict hollandaise very gentle and delicious, quality brunches. Really nice service (manager even presented us a mousse lemon for waiting). Will visit this place again.

    Their breakfast/brunch is the best in tel Aviv!! They have the most unique- French style food. The food itself is super photogenic and it tastes also very good. A really one of a kind cafe in tel Aviv. Their service is also good and their location is great as well(really in the central). If you are looking for a place to sit with friends/family/ work- then this is it!! The only thing I would recommend is that you should order a place in advance because it could get very packed easily. Also I would recommend not coming on Friday mornings because it is the busiest time of the whole week. Other than that, I would extremely recommend!!

    We had our Saturday morning breakfast at the bar of the restaurant. The staff was extremely hospitable and treated us to free shots which was fun and much appreciated. The ambiance and atmosphere at the restaurant was great and we had a good time, the food was good overall but relatively pricey for the amounts. Personally, did not like the croissant with Buche cheese.

    When I say amazing food, I mean it! A menu of simplistic but absolutely delicious food. Everything was fresh to order and service was great. We ordered their Beef Tartare & Pickled Yolk Cream, Tomatoes & Mozzarella Salad, and their main Sea Bass Fillet! One of the top restaurants I added to my Tel Aviv restaurant list!

    Outstandingly delicious and creative dishes, the variety of which made it really difficult to make a choice out of such a wonderful vegetarian-friendly menu. We had brunch at the bar and the service was top notch, so pleasant and effortless. Such a terrific experience that I am sure to repeat asap.

  • 5/5 Mindaugas V. 1 year ago on Google
    The breakfast was delicious, especially the roasted polenta and mushroom ragout with colorful beet hollandaise, and the macaroons were a standout dessert. I also enjoyed corned beef croissant, which could heal a hangover very easy. I highly recommend the restaurant for its great food, beautiful ambiance, and service.

  • 5/5 Ronny O. 1 year ago on Google
    Excellent place for a good brunch or dinner with reasonable prices. Great location next to Kikar Dizengoff. Most of the time the place is packed so you might need to wait in line.

  • 5/5 Jamie S. 1 year ago on Google
    This is our third time in ten days dining here. They have the best cocktails, coffee, salads and food we’ve had on our trip. We loved the endive salad! They also have amazing service. We will be back when we’re back in Israel.

  • 5/5 Jeremy B. 1 year ago on Google
    This place is a 10/10 for brunch. The food is creative but still simple and delicious. The staff and service are exceptional. Leon, the manager that was working, gave us an experience to remember with a sample cheese plate and some outstanding desserts.

  • 5/5 Chen S. 2 years ago on Google
    OK, I can't stretch this enough. TAKE THE ENDIVE SALAD. Now, let's talk about the vibe of this place. Enjoy feeling classy? Feeling fancy? Do go there then. The staff was great, gave us a free dessert for the bday girl 🥰 all in all 5 stars 😍

    A European-style cafe with a varied brunch menu, excellent dishes, beautiful presentation and excellent service. I loved the decor, the music and atmosphere that made me feel like I'm sitting in a coffee place in Vienna :)

  • 5/5 Petros K. 1 year ago on Google
    A great place for having a lightweight and healthy brunch. Ordered an avocado with eggs and its taste was really awesome! Price for Israel standards was okaish. Stuff was so kind. Worth to try it!

  • 5/5 Josefina Y. 1 year ago on Google
    Amazing food! Great place to have brunch on the terrace. The staff was also super nice :)

  • 4/5 Anna Y. 2 years ago on Google
    Fancy, cute Café, its interior design makes you feel like being in Paris. Waiting time without reservation on a Friday morning was up to 1 hour, so make sure you go on a week day or make a reservation before :) Food is tasty, the menu is not very long - there are only a few dishes to chose from - but you do not need to wait long for it.

  • 5/5 Shahaf M. 2 years ago on Google
    Couldn't make it to capture the drinks but they were amazing like the food. Good vibes for dates, especially sitting on the bar. Super recommended!!!

  • 5/5 Alon G. 2 years ago on Google

    The best thing that stays with you days and days after, is a great service. Idan should get a raise, what an awesome bartender! The food was amazing, the cocktails, the atmosphere, the whole experience. Loved every second of our stay! Can't get enough of it, and can't wait to come back again ❤️

    Amazing brunch food, Awesome cocktail drinks and good service! What else can you ask from a resturant. Oh yeah right the beautiful design and the super friendly service from Yahav and Noa (one of them lol). Definitely will be back on my next trip to Israel.

  • 5/5 Alma B. 2 years ago on Google
    Tasty and chic brunch spot! Very nice service and delicious and satisfying dishes! Pretty crowded on the weekends, make sure to make reservations beforehand.

  • 5/5 runnerinmask 2 years ago on Google
    Great service and food, I took the French toast and my friend took the shakshuka. Both were great, the shakshuka was a little small.

  • 5/5 Ofir N. 2 years ago on Google
    Wow it is a great place! Fast service, delicious food (avocado eggs is probably the best one) and cool atmosphere combining Paris and TLV

👍 It’s been a few years since my last visit and the place grew a lot and is now a huge restaurant right on the port of Jaffa. The design is very impressive too. We arrived just before 1pm and had plenty of room, despite the fact that we did not have an order. Right after we sat down, the staff brought...
