🥳Turns Into a Party

Cafe Populaire is a two-floor spot in the heart of Tel Aviv: upstairs a playful Israeli bistro led by a chef, downstairs a bar with a solid drinks menu and fun food. The menu mixes Mediterranean dishes with international touches like sashimi and ceviche.

The Vibe

What Cafe Popular looks like

Good to know

🍣 Recommendation

Worth trying the tuna sashimi bish-bash or the fish ceviche — they give a fun twist to the fish dishes.

🍹 Service

There are two different spaces in the same venue — street level is more of a restaurant, downstairs is more of a bar with an extensive drinks menu.

🥩 Recommendation

If you're after something heartier, the beef tartare or Israeli roast beef are solid choices.
