Yaffo Tel Aviv

Upscale fine dining with good food and service in a comfortable setting. We shared an excellent whole fish with an extra plate for the bones, carcass, a bottle of wine and even had very good tiramisu for dessert. Very enjoyable.

It’s hands down our favorite restaurant in Tel Aviv. My family and I have been here around 20 times already and it keeps surprising us. The most fresh and delicious ingredients you can find. Exceptional service and attention to details. Special thanks to our favorite waiter - Lina 🫶 we’ll be coming here many more times !

Exceptional Dining Experience! We had a fantastic dinner with four delicious starters and two amazing meat mains—steak and filet medallions, both cooked to perfection. The cocktail and fine wine were top-notch, and the dessert was truly unique and unforgettable. The atmosphere was absolutely amazing—elegant, cozy, and inviting. Service was outstanding from start to finish. Highly recommended!

I used to leave only an enthusiastic review about the delicious steak here, but unfortunately, I now have to add my disappointment with the service. One evening I left my hat with the waiter, but at the end of dinner he forgot to bring it back. The restaurant had my phone number from the reservation, yet nobody thought to call me about it. I came back myself the following week, only to be surprised that the hat was nowhere to be found. The hostess took my number and promised to call me back — but of course, I never received a single call or even a text. This is how loyal customers are lost. 5 well-deserved stars turn into 3.

We got a very bad table, in the aisle next to toilet or some kind of service room. We had to listen to all the talks of the staff going in and out. Also it was very close to there people sitting at the bar, when they started leaving they almost brushed the food from our table. I believe there shouldn't be such tables in places like this. Really spoiled the impression. Besides it the food and the service were very good. But we won't come back.

So I haven’t got any chance to take many photos of the food itself cuz each time some plate put on the table it was finished quickly! No need to say that food was sooo delicious! We went for lunch, the service was terrible! But the food was compensation for sure. Some sneak peek at the desserts that also was super great 😋 After all nice place, maybe it’s better not to come at lunch rush hour 😉

Mixed feelings for a place with a mixed identity. Somewhere between high dining and worker class eatery. None of the dishes is special or rememberable. Everything we ate was well prepared and a solid ok plus, but nothing was a perfect experience. The meat was a tiny bit too done and too salty. The crab gnocchi was very good but the plate was very wrong. The apricot desert was interesting and tasty but did not fulfill its full potential.... Even the service was a mix of styles. If you insist on hovering around to keep my water glass full like a high end classic restaurant then you can't just forget about it at some later point and let me go back to "self service" mode. If you think it is important enough to disturb my conversation to introduce me to a new waiter and explain that the original one is done for the day then it makes no sense for the latter to keep on working and even randomly serve our table. Unlike the food, the mixed style had no upside -- too formal and uncomfortable but without the true high-end professionalism. Not bad service in anyway but far from excellent. Overall, for a business lunch, it was a solid experience. However, nothing made we want to come back. The dish we ordered from the dinner menu was the best one, but the rest of the menu was not interesting enough for me. The cost was too high for what we got.

Food is good, but nothing exciting. The raw fish was fresh but boring. Salads were nice but not exciting. Baked fish was amazing, but again, nothing exciting, nothing to go back for. Service was really good and staff were all so so nice! But again, I didn’t fall off my chair, and will go to many other restaurants before going back there. Over all was nice.
