Food Scene
Café Michal
230 Dizengoff StGood food, great atmosphere, very laid back.
If you can't find it here, it doesn't exist. Food and drink, household goods, sunglasses, hats, beach attire, footwear, and plenty of pop-up cafes and street food stalls. The best show in town!

My favourite sushi restaurant in Tel Aviv - stylish, hip, great bar and a conveyor belt on which you can see the sushi rolling round (the chef is in front of you too, so you know it's damned fresh!) Don't miss it.

Packed with shops, cafes and bars, this is a great option for singletons, families and tourists - locals love it too. The Friday market with local farmers is fantastic and watching fisherman throwing their lines over the boardwalk is fantastic. Highly recommended at all times of the day (though weekends are crowded).
