The menu is as impressive as the location, featuring a delectable selection of dishes.

Katzir, The Kempinski Hotel, Tel Aviv

If you’re craving a luxurious fine-dining experience built around the highest-quality ingredients, Katzir is exactly where you need to be. From the moment we stepped inside, the contrast was striking: a calm, elegant oasis just steps from the energy and chaos of the Tel Aviv promenade.

Israel isn’t always known for exceptional service, but Katzir is in a league of its own-seamlessly blending polished, international-standard hospitality with elevated Middle Eastern cuisine. And when it comes to steak, Katzir truly leads the way. Every cut arrived cooked to absolute perfection, impossibly tender and bursting with flavor.

But the real surprise? The starters. These creative first courses stole the show and nearly overshadowed the steak itself. Our must-try picks are the Lion’s Mane, the Lubya, and the Head & Tail Ragu-dishes so inventive and memorable that we found ourselves slowing down just to savor every bite. Add in expertly crafted cocktails and indulgent desserts, and the entire evening becomes a flawless 10/10 experience from start to finish. Book your table now, you won’t regret it!

Flame, The Carlton Hotel, Tel Aviv

Flame, located on the first floor of the Carlton Hotel, graces the Tel Aviv promenade with its luxurious ambiance and breathtaking beach views. This relatively new restaurant has quickly become a hotspot, so securing a table can be a challenge-but it’s well worth the effort. From the moment you step inside, you’re enveloped in an upscale vibe that sets the tone for an unforgettable dining experience.

The open kitchen, where expert chefs cook steaks and meats over an open flame, is a highlight, complemented by expertly crafted cocktails and stunning sunset views. Standout dishes include the beef tartare, lamb neck kataif, and chicken skewer, each a testament to the restaurant’s culinary prowess. We also indulged in two unique desserts, paired perfectly with custom-designed cocktails tailored to our tastes.

While every night offers a fun and relaxing atmosphere, Thursday nights are particularly lively when the in-house DJ elevates the experience. If you’re looking for a dining experience that combines elegance with a vibrant atmosphere, Flame is the place to be. Book your table now!

One of the many wonderful restaurants by celebrity chef Eyal Shani, Malka is another hit. The name means “Queen”, and this is another crown jewel. Besides serving up mouthwatering meat dishes sure to melt in your mouth, you’ll also be directly contributing to charity when you eat here. The space here has long been partners with Elem, and Shani keeps the tradition going. Elem trains at-risk youth to work in the restaurant industry and offers them a different path. They serve a number of his long-lasting favorites, including roasted cauliflower, juicy kebabs nestled in fluffy pockets of focaccia, and endless local produce. Don’t forget to add this to one of your stops, or visit one of his many other restaurants throughout the country.

From the moment you step inside, you’re in for an evening filled with eating, drinking, and dancing, all under the expert guidance of your pitmaster for the night (who also happens to be the head chef).

Enjoy unlimited wine and beer as you savor more meat than you ever thought possible-just be sure to save some room for dessert! Each dish is crafted to perfection using only the finest cuts. As you dine, a live DJ sets the vibe, compelling you to get up and dance. Pitmaster isn’t just a meal; it’s the ultimate night out. The waiting list is (understandably) long.
