Cordero

The 140-seat restaurant, in the back courtyard of the celebrated Suzanne Dellal Center for Dance, offers a menu of fine Southern European gastronomy, pulling from the seafood restaurants of France, the tapas bars of Spain and the trattorias of Italy. And the restaurant itself is suited up in the tradition of timeless European interior design with 20th-century Belgian chairs and French lamps from the 1930’s exuding intimate lighting, as well as plush chairs and lounge sofas, large velvet banquettes and the close quarters of bar seating. Few Tel Aviv restaurants opt for the fine dining look associated with white tablecloth dressings, but Cordero sets the refined tone right from the start. Expect a thoughtful menu and an extensive wine list.
