Restaurant Name: Comme IL Faut Cafe

This is one of the popular Cafes this days in Tel Aviv (August 2005).
This Cafe' restaurant is located at the old port of Tel Aviv just by the water front.
Its very relaxing there, very quiet around so great to see and smell the beautiful sea ....
Part of the chairs by the tables are sort of a small sofas which are really comfortable and the food.....
Well... definitely not a standart food as well as juices.
Lots of good and healthy food ...pretty unregular stuff of the interestng cheff there...
You can combine it with unique aqueezed juices and simply enjoy real good meals...
There are lovely breakfasts (i had the organic one) and for me its a great place to enjoy breakfasts...

BTW, there's a nother Comme IL Faut Cafe' in Dizzingof 215, this one is probably one of the smallest one in Tel Aviv and really very charming one !

Favorite Dish: Ohhhhh too many things are my favourit, the Juices, breakfasts, sea food, the warm yemmenite bread that is served etc'... darn.. im getting hungry just thinking of it now :-)

Restaurant Name: Etzel Pini Ba'hatzer

One of the nices places in TA, actually its even closer to Jaffa.
The Location is Absolutelly perfect, just by the water front and if you sit by the windows (some of the walls are made of glass) you can see all the shore line, hotels and the beautiful med sea obviously.
Pini is the owner's name, and he used to have a restaurant in Jerusalem, a local good one. now he moved to TA, and brought all this great i mean really great food here.

In the restaurant there are inside and outside tables. if you are in a real summer day then no doubt you have to sit outside. Just remember to make an early reservation as the chances to get a table without a reservations are low.
