The stellar location means you’ll find the Cameri Theater of Tel Aviv, the country's most prominent and prolific theater, and the Israeli Opera, all within a reasonable distance.
Pastel is a modern Israeli-Levantine brasserie that presents contemporary cuisine combined with vibrant local ingredients, all with a classy, haute-couture style. Pastel’s decor coincides with the most recent wing of the Tel Aviv Art Museum. The building’s exterior layer is inspired sculpturally, creating the seating and bar area that has won world-class attention, including the Best Designed Restaurant Space Design Award in Idea-Tops of 2014.
Open for lunch or dinner, or even just cocktails and bites, three separate seating areas separate this elegant and roomy space; the main room, a chic and modern restaurant with cherry furniture and lots of natural light, the outside patio peaking over the sculpture garden, or finally the “cocoon,” a charming hidden bar for drinks with friends or a romantic meal.
The restaurant is headed by creative genius Chef Gal Ben Moshe who owns the award-winning Prism in Berlin (with his partner) and is the second Israeli-born chef to receive a Michelin star.
The menu showcases the overflowing creativity of the region and unique local ingredients that complement each other. Start with fresh fruit with charcoaled cheese, Mizuna leaves, black tahini, or red tuna with watermelon, sesame, and Ponzu coffee. For mains, handmade plates of pasta, fresh gnocchi, lamb, prime ribs, or the fresh fish catch-of-the-day. Cocktails are plenty - sweet or sour, and the wine list is carefully selected from Israel and around the globe.
Courses for every palate
The Chef’s Tasting Menu is one of the best in the city, with course after course of surprises and creativity, a homage to the best local, seasonal fare (395 NIS per person). The business lunch fits the bill for those on a budget, with an appetizer and main for 135 NIS per person. Pastel is an excellent choice for private events or romantic dinner of two, with several dining areas to choose from. Pastel flawlessly pulls off the art of presentation, culinary excellence, and service to match.
