Cafe Europa

Such a great atmosphere of Tel Avivian cafes for beaches & lunches with the beautiful hidden garden in shadow at the courtyard, tasty food, I would recommend nice crab omelet & cucumber melon green salad, good coffee! The only disadvantage on the menu there are not fresh squeezed juices

It could be easily 5 stars, cause the food was great. The fish was so good and the cornbread is divine. But - the service was not at his moment. Some of the waiters were nice, but the others had some attitude. I will come back and hope for a better service cause it’s really worth it.

Everything we ate was full of flavor and tasted good. Ingredients seemed fresh and the menu interesting, although it is heavily centered around sea food. The atmosphere on the ground floor is nice, although the main room is not air controlled. I didn’t like the fact that to get to the bathroom you must go through a smoking room that smells like an ashtray. It’s also the only air conditioned space as far as I know. We set at the bar and the service was very good.

The food is okay, tasty but nothing more than that, compared to the price and the tiny portion size, there is no justification at all. The service is okay and the dishes come out quickly. We were told that these are sharing dishes, but this size is suitable for maybe two, no more, unless you are only interested in tasting. Unfortunately, compared to the expensive price and all the restaurants in the area, my recommendation is lower.

Service is so bad that our whole table ended up giving 5% tip. It took us 25 minutes to get our table and we had a reservation. We had to ask the waiter/waitress several times for every single thing: the menu, the food, the drink, the dessert... it was really surprising and very slow/low service compared to other restaurants in Tel Aviv. Super expensive restaurant for small portions and bad service. We should have gone to McDonald’s..

Another disappointing day at Cafe Europa. I decided to give another chance after having a bad brunch experience last year. We came here for dinner to celebrate my friend’s birthday. We had to wait almost 30 min outside before they had our reserved table ready. The food is very basic, nothing special but still very overpriced. My fish came burnt 2 times, no seasoning, just a basic baked fish file with literally 3 green beans and melted butter for 118 shekels. We ordered some desserts as a surprise for the birthday girl, we had to go to the kitchen twice to ask and they said they forgot even though the restaurant was almost empty at this point. The only good points were our waitress that was very nice and the desert that was great.

I’ve been here several times before, and recently visited again. The food is still good - portion size got smaller and prices got higher, probably due to Covid, but now some of the dishes are priced too high for their value. Still, they are really tasty. The service was warm and helpful but a little slow at times when it became busier. Overall this visit would’ve gotten three stars but I’m adding one because of my previous visits, which were excellent.

The steak and meat stuffed tortellini were really great. 🥩 The seafood dish with shrimp and calamari 🍤 was a standout as well, It came in a delicious sauce that was both aromatic and perfectly seasoned, we ended up dipping the bread in it 😁 highly recommended!
