We went with another couple, and since we all had trouble choosing only one dish, we ordered 2-3 appetizers, and we each chose a main dish and shared all of it. The food was beyond amazing, made with fresh ingredients and interesting twists on typical local ingredients! The beef salad, and mushroom/cheese/beet dish were standouts (and I'm not terribly partial... More

Great atmosphere to a great, varied and healthy menu. I just had a great pickled salmon salad. Nice and relaxing outdoors lunch with nice and helpful servers. I loved it.

I could not keep myself from going back to this place over and over and over! The israeli breakfast is great but don't miss out on their green shakshuka and be sure to have a cold coffee, too! Dinner was simple, healthy and delicious down to the dessert. We rave about this place. The staff is cool and friendly,

A small place where I ate a few times during my solo trip to Israel; once I had a lovely and delicate white fish dish in a subtle orange sauce, with a great local white wine, and once a regular salad that was ok too. No pretentions, good quality; quick and friendly service.

We almost stumbled upon this lovely, off the beaten track Israeli bistro, located on a little unpretentious street nested between the beach and Neve Tzedek. Their very creative menu promises and maintains an excellent modern take on Israeli classics like chopped liver and cauliflower salad, which are still served in far from 'nouvelle cuisine' portions. What should have been a... More

Kovshim (HaKovshim) is a great little spot I am excited to have found. Even though this was my first time here, I sense that I will come back to time and time again. The menu is the perfect size and despite it being Pesach, they managed to deliver delicious meals while keeping kosher for passover. We split the salatime starter... More

I had heard about the Kovshim for a while before going there myself, but the place easily exceeded my expectations for it. The food was terrific and the atmosphere great. It's got very Israeli vibes, in the best possible way. Represents Israeli cuisine in a good way, too. The only drawback I can think of is the fact that it's... More

Went twice for dinner; the first time, we had great meals and service, and wanted to try some of the other dishes, and see... More
