Hidden Gems for Tel Aviv

1. Hidden Gem Tel Aviv: Neve Tsedek

Considered to be one of Tel Aviv’s prettiest districts, Neve Tzedek lies southeast of the Yemenite quarter and the famous Carmel Market. Just wander around the attractive narrow streets, admire the restored buildings and enjoy a bite in the cute restaurants and cafes. Shabazi Street, the main axis of the neighbourhood, is brimming with local and international fashion brands, designer accessories and restaurants.

2. Hidden Gem Tel Aviv: Bucke Cafe

This lovely little cafe serves delicious healthy food and top notch coffee all for very reasonable prices. The traditional Israeli breakfast with egg, bread and spreads and all their sharing platters are simply mouthwatering. They also have one of the best chocolate chip cookies in Tel Aviv. Bucke Cafe is located in the center of Tel Aviv, right next to Habima theater, and has another location in the Old North neighborhood.

3. Hidden Gem Tel Aviv: Carmel Market

This market, also called the Shuk Hacarmel, is the largest market in Tel Aviv. With dozens of stalls selling fresh meat, fish, fruit and vegetables, you can take in all the sights, sounds and smells the Carmel Market has to offer while hunting for the cheapest bargain. The hustle and bustle, vibrant noise, colors and smells and the authentic Middle-Eastern style atmosphere, all combine to make the Carmel Market a favorite place for everyone from tourists to locals.

4. Hidden Gem Tel Aviv: The Prince

This little rooftop hideaway overlooking Nahalat Binyamin has one of the best happy hour food and drink deals in the city. A real jewel that invites for a great night! The bar’s retro interior design and its great music create an amazing atmosphere. The Prince is located in an old building on Nachalat-Binyamin. It’s not that obvious where the entrance is so check the exact address before going into the building, and then climb up to the rooftop.

5. Hidden Gem Tel Aviv: Cafe Levinsky

Normally it is cafes with crazy latte art that fill the Instagram feed but Cafe Levinsky with it´s fancy drinks is definitely a good alternative. Café Levinsky 41 is certainly a hidden gem. Here you can get the usual cafe servings of tea and coffee, but what is really special about this place are the sodas: they are topped with beautiful Floral Arrangements. The drinks are called “gazoz” which is the the vintage word for soda with fruit syrup. They come with lots local fresh herbs and flowers which make the gazoz aromatic, tasty and instagrammable. There is no better day for a refreshment in Tel Aviv.
