CLASSIC BURGER JOINTS

Vitrina – The Real American Burger 🇺🇲

ALLENBY and KIKAR RABIN | Lilienblum 40 and Ibn Gvirol 36 

For this self-titled burger snob, I just gotta say: Vitrina truly does make the best burger in this town. The meat sandwich tastes like it is cooked by angels and then smothered in just the right amount of fattening and parmesan-y goodness. You can drown your burger in the beet-ketchup and creamy, garlic-mayo, and find yourself living like a local, experiencing “the most satisfying bites of burger you may taste in this burger-wasteland of country.” Nay fine people of Secret Tel Aviv – there is simply *NO* other burger in Israel worthy of my highest honour of most mind-numbingly delicious burger EVER! Read more.


GDB – Black Garlic Topping 🧄

KIKAR RABIN | Shlomo Ibn Gabirol 22

George’s Dry-Aged Burger is making a name for itself as the best burger joint in Tel Aviv! With a brioche black “Rabbi Bun”, black garlic topping, perfectly grilled beef, and crispy yet creamy fantastic fries, the 60 shekel combo is well worth it. Brilliantly seasoned, the grilled beef is the star of the show, complimented by toppings like jalapeños and many choices of cheese. Read more.


26 Hamburger Gourmet – Le French Burger 🇫🇷

SOUTH TEL AVIV | Mikve Israel 26

26 Hamburger Gourmet takes the standard American burger, and gives it a gourmet French twist – ooooh lala! Instead of a boring bun, the burger nestles between a soft brioche. Instead of greasy fries, the burger comes with crunchy sweet potato frites. And instead of a tomato on top, enjoy some juicy foie gras. C’est très magnifique! The shop is rather small, but you can chow down on the tables on the street. Read more.

Rainbow – Another great Vegan Burger! 

KIKAR RABIN | Shlomo Ibn Gabirol 88

Truly, Rainbow Burger is the perfect pit stop for born-again vegans who loved meat in a past life, and need that feeling of meaty satisfaction in the pit of their belly (minus the actual meat of course). For that, Rainbow Burger has definitely got you covered! One juicy bite of Rainbow Burger and it *almost* had me convinced that this was the real deal. The texture, look and taste are darn near identical to meat. Not to mention, the soy and mushroom burger blend gave me the same warm, fuzzy, happy-tummy feeling I get from eating meat. Read more.

This restaurant is also included in the ‘Best Vegan Restaurants in Tel Aviv’ Secret Tel Aviv Guide.
