My friends and I went to Emesh last week for dinner, and honestly, it was one of the highlights of our time in Tel Aviv. If you are looking for a spot that perfectly combines fantastic food with a really cool, stylish nightlife vibe, this place hits the nail on the head.
The venue itself is beautiful and super unique because it's divided into different spaces. We sat in the outdoor courtyard, which has this magical, cozy atmosphere with great lighting and plants everywhere. It felt vibrant and lively but still intimate enough that we could actually sit and talk.
Now, the food—absolutely amazing. Everything we ordered was incredibly fresh and packed with flavor. It’s a great menu for sharing, so we tried a bunch of different dishes, from the beef carpaccio and fresh fish to their incredible handmade pasta and desserts. You can tell the kitchen really cares about the ingredients. The cocktails were also top-tier, really creative and perfectly balanced.
What made the night even better was the service. Our server was super attentive, friendly, and gave us some excellent recommendations on what to order without being pushy at all. Later in the evening, the music picked up, and the whole place transitioned into this awesome party vibe that Tel Aviv is so famous for.
It’s the perfect place for a fun dinner date or a night out with a group of friends. We had a blast and will definitely be back the next time we are in the city!
Food was served in very small portions but quality was good - Cacio e pepe was nice, and fisherman's gnocchi was INCREDIBLE. Staff were very kind, and we had a very nice evening. Sadly they had a sewer leakage problem in the end of our visit that made my coat stink but the staff did whatever they could to assist us.
Great food and ambient in this restaurant. The area is very vibrant. Restaurants everywhere. The place has a large bar with DJ in the front part with a sitting area behind and outside. Very busy. Service was great they had a lot of servers that were friendly and attentive. For was great, especially the rib eye and risotto, but also the brioche and foccacia were delicious. Good cocktails and nice breeze outside made the heat bearable
We heard about the place from friends who go out here a lot. So we had to check the place out for ourselves. Beautiful place, several different seating areas, we sat in the yard, the waitress was very professional and recommended us several dishes, the food is very tasty. The cocktails were delicious. Amazing desserts. We will definitely be back many more times.
Great fun tel avivi atmosphere with the chef being around and approachable! Mixed crowd indoor and outdoor seating with a bar / club area for the later hours.
Great food - a highlight and my recommendation is the zucchini dish!
