Thu Oct 26 22:21:20 -0700 2006 1767947 18941 tsiblis 1 1986676 There are some really good restaurants around the Tel Aviv Old Port area. We had dinner at a really good fish place a couple of years ago (I'll try to find out the name). It's also a fun place to walk around. There are also some good places on Shenkin Street, a very trendy shopping area near the shuk (market). Tue Oct 31 21:06:41 -0800 2006 1767947 48352 FlavoursGal 1 1986681 Oops!

It has a very attractive interior and gracious service. The bar is fabulous. Especially as it delivers unordered trademake drinks periodically throughout the evening as a point of hospitality. The view of the beach is spectacular if you care to go early to have drinks watchng the sunset...and stay to dine in the candle glow before taking a stroll on the promanade. The donut shaped ravioli over the beets is one of the most phenominal starters showing the Middle East has progressed into a high level of culinary understanding. The meats are excellent. You can go down the street and have fabulous Americanized meals on the picnic benches at Mike's Place. But when you are ready to papmer yourself and dine...Benjamin Seigels is the place!

Mon Dec 04 09:54:00 -0800 2006 1767947 19800 loobcom 1 4925100 To avoid absolutely is the "Argentine steakhouse", El Gaucho, on Rothschild. Hamburger was cold, fries were cold, and when i complained they put the Hamburger back on the grill to overcook it. Beer was good. Note nearby is Nahalat Binjamin St. with fabulous bars and wine and cheese places. Fri Aug 07 01:07:41 -0700 2009 1767947 1091460 LeSnob
