Chaim Shelanu, whether it’s V-Day season, Tu B’Av, or your first date with that cutie you met at the shawarma stand – we’ve created this Guide for you! Forget about the Netflix and takeout, because this guide’s got the recipe for a perfect romantic dinner – let’s dive in!

Cafe Europa

Rothschild Blvd 9

Nothing says romance more so than the charming greenery and fairy lights that cover the cozy courtyard at Cafe Europa. The flavors are top notch all around, making this one of the most well known restaurants in the city by locals and tourists alike. We’ve yet to have a bad dish here. Read More

Chez Vivie 

Dizengoff St 166

The taste of Paris combined with the vibe of Tel Aviv; and thus Chez Vivie was born! On a prime corner located on Dizengoff street, the ambiance here ranks very high on our list of “jobs well done.” Somehow laid back while simultaneously remaining upscale – artistically decorated to be very easy on the eyes and a menu beyond our wildest dreams.  Bonus points for people watching on one of the busiest streets in the whole city. Celebrate the day of love as if you’re in the city of love! Read More

Jango Wine Bar 

Ben Yehuda St 155 

Jango Wine Bar is located very close to Independence Park and Hilton Bay, in a very charming corner of Tel Aviv. This wine bar is a little more upscale than its competitors, guaranteeing quality all around. It happens to be across the street from our favorite seafood restaurant Shila, and the two share an owner as well! Perfect for a Valentine’s Day celebration with a significant other, friends or family. Read More

Jango is also one of our favourite wine bars in Tel Aviv. Check out our Guide to the Best Wine Bars in Tel Aviv here.

Tometomato

Sderot Washington 26

A more casual spot for Valentine’s Day but don’t underestimate the charm of Tometomato, hidden in the nooks and crannies of the beloved Florentin neighborhood. Even though there is no sign on the outside indicating you’ve reached your destination, you’ll know you have done so through the sensational smells of the homemade delicacies. The wine bar that is directly next door is owned by the same owner; what a convenience! Handmade pasta that is unmatched and accompanied with fresh focaccia that can be used to lick the plate clean. Read More

Santi

J.L. Gordon St 17

Small but mighty! It would be an utter shame if Santi didn’t make the cut for this Romantic Restaurant Guide. Beautifully presented, deliciously flavorful foods with their iconic crisp ambiance. Relatively new in the culinary scene, there are rumors that this is the favorite restaurant in all of Tel Aviv at the moment. Check it out for yourself and tell us what you think. Read More

Rouge 21

Montefiore 21

Secret gem alert! The vibes at Rouge are some of the very best in the city. Quite literally hidden underneath Trigger and Wine on Montefiore Street, it is designed as the most appropriate yet sultry dining experience.  Japanese and Israeli flavors combine with one another’s techniques to create this epic and unique date spot. Read More

Dalida

Zevulun St 9

With the Arab-European fusion feel, this hideaway offers the coziest of vibes for any night, but especially serving those Valentine’s vibes. It is, of course, imperative to know that their boutique sibling bar is just across the street. Indulge in the spread of spicy peppers and feta cheese with a thin layer of brûléed sugar in the backyard courtyard under the fairly lights and night sky, accompanied with a pitcher of their creative cocktails. However, the grilled calamari skewer served on a bed of roasted eggplant and fried onion must be mentioned, along with the panna cotta dessert option. Enjoy these delicious vibes and outstanding bites with good company of your choice. Read More

Joz Ve Loz

HaTnufa St 7

The most unique dining experience Tel Aviv has to offer, Joz Ve Loz is a restaurant with the concept of not being a restaurant. The waiters are your friends and the menu has no pricing making the entire atmosphere like no other, and alludes to pure enjoyment. We highly recommend hitting this place up. Read More

Radler

Nahalat Binyamin St 48 

Shareable plates served to you on high top tables placed smack dab in the middle of the beloved and happening Nahalat Binyamin street, Radler knows how to create the vibe. Eminent for very good reasoning! Take in the flavorful hustle and bustle of the street, the cuisine and beverages simultaneously. Read More

Hess 4

Hess St 4

If we could describe Hess 4 in one word, it would be “charming.” Bringing the authentic Italian energy, their menu does not disappoint our hungry eyes time and time again. Transport to the Northern Italy region without having to leave Israel. It wouldn’t be Valentine’s Day without Italian food! It is of the utmost intimate atmosphere, making it ideal for a date spot. Share your spaghetti Lady and the Tramp style this Valentine’s Day! Read More

Kalamata

Kikar Kdumim 10

With the most gorgeous Mediterranean sunset view in the whole city, of course it would be a disservice to exclude Kalamata from this guide. Relish in the flavors of Greece! Kalamata emulates the feeling of having traversed the sea there yourself. There aren’t enough good things to relay about the atmosphere created by the Old City of Jaffa. Read More

Christoff Wine Salon

Hashuk St 28, Tel Aviv-Yafo

There is a reason this Florentin wine spot is locals’ and tourists’ favorite! The atmosphere is perfect and their wine selection doesn’t suck either. With weekly Grilled Cheese Fridays and many other enticing offerings, Christoff Wine Salon is the place to be. Read more. 

Christoff is also one of our favourite wine bars in Tel Aviv. Check out our Guide to the Best Wine Bars in Tel Aviv here.
