The Best Brunch Spots in Tel Aviv (2026)

By Sarah Mann | Published on 4/30/2026

Brunch - the sweet spot between breakfast and lunch, which really gives you the best of both worlds with plenty of time to enjoy yourself. Whether your craving is sweet or savoury, this is the meal in which you can indulge it. And no more so than in Tel Aviv, foodie capital of Israel and a city with a vibe that screams out ‘ enjoy yourself’.

In the city that never sleeps, brunch on Friday and Saturday (the Jewish Shabbat) has taken on a whole new meaning in the last few years, as both local cafes and fancy restaurants are upping their game. From the fun (American pancakes) and the healthy (Israeli salads) to the classic (Shakshuka) and the decadent (Eggs Benedict), there’s no way you’ll leave feeling anything but content.

So pick one of these great spots we’ve listed below, turn up, relax, chill, order a cheeky Mimosa and enjoy!

1. Cafe Xoho

A home from home for many locals, everything at Cafe Xoho is made with love and care, from cookies straight from the oven to bagels to die for. Their salads are super fresh, their cakes are moist, their coffee is legendary and their breakfast burrito gets rave reviews.

Xoho has an all-day menu, from which we’d recommend their delicious smoothie bowl, the cheese quesadilla or the sweet pancakes (add chocolate syrup for real decadence).

With good music, professional staff and a hip vibe, it’s a must try and because it’s so close to Frishman beach, you can work off the calories afterwards with a walk by the sea!

2. Cafe Kirsch

Set on bustling DIzengoff Street - the beating heart of Tel Aviv - Cafe Kirsch is the brunch place to head to if you yearn for a New York style menu. Busy all week, Friday mornings the queues are long (they don’t take reservations) but if you find a table you’ll soon discover why.

For us, it’s the blueberry pancakes and the French toast with mascarpone and berries that are the star of the show but if you’re yearning for something less sweet, go for the gravalax on rye bread with horseradish or lettuce and camembert salad with a raspberry vinaigrette. Finally, don’t forget to pick up one of the legendary almond croissants to take home!

3. Dallal

Located in the heart of Neve Tzedek - arguably one of Tel Aviv’s most beautiful and chic neighborhoods, Dallal is set inside a former convent and if you manage to grab a table in the garden, you’ll feel like you’ve died and gone to heaven.

Dallal’s brunch highlights include Nordic salmon, schnitzel with creamy mash and home-made brioche (from their famous bakery nearby) served with butter and jam and the tomato salad served with burrata. All of the egg dishes hit the spot and their Bellini cocktails are marvellous.

Take a stroll down Shabazi street afterwards and drink in the atmosphere of this gorgeous area - the boutiques are pretty and the architecture quite unique.

4. Cafe 65

Tucked away inside the eponymous hotel on buzzing Rothschild Boulevard, this newly renovated restaurant offers delicious and relaxing brunch in a tranquil spot. At Cafe 65, you can order one dish from the menu then head to the all-you-can-eat buffet, to indulge in an array of super salads, smoked salmon and local specialty goats and sheep cheeses. The sabich stand is also a nice touch, paired with one of their fresh juices!

It’s a tough call to pick from the menu, but the shakshuka with spinach and Swiss chard is incredible, not to mention the French toast served with berry compote, pear poached in wine and a portion of whipped cream on top! The decor is trendy, the service friendly and the atmosphere restorative. The perfect place to unwind and make your stomach happy.

5. Lorenz and Mintz

Lorenz and MIntz is another go-to brunch spot in Tel Aviv, famed amongst the locals in Neve Tzedek and well-reviewed by tourists. Serving a kosher dairy menu, the vibe is a cross between a Parisian brasserie and a small eaterie serving local produce up in Israel's Galilee.

Everything on the menu is outstanding but standout dishes include the Croque Madame, filled with mushroom and truffle cream, the ‘Greek Special’ (think dolmades,filo pastries stuffed with Bulgarian cheese) and the green shakshuka. The pastries are excellent, the coffee perfect (as you’d expect in any French-style establishment) and service - aided by the hand-on owner - is perfect. A bit costly but worth it.

6. NOLA American Bakery

Since it opened to much fanfare, back in 2012, NOLA Bakery has become a firm favourite for those who are pining for an American diner experience. Originally established to bring a taste of New Orleans to the Tel Aviv public (think buttermilk biscuits and pecan pie) it became such a hit that the menu expanded considerably and today, in the city’s Old North ‘hood (close to the Hilton Beach) top brunch spots.

7. Cafe Puaa

Finally, we couldn’t not mention Cafe Puaa, which is - in our opinion - is a charming little cafe you have to try out when you’re visiting the ancient and beautiful city of Jaffa (directly south of Neve Tsedek and an easy walk along the beach from Tel Aviv’s Carmel Market). It’s been around forever, and has a cosy ‘chintzy’ vibe, with mismatched cups and saucers, and old furniture that makes you think you’re sitting in your grandmother's house.

Puaa doesn’t have a brunch menu but its local-style mediterranean fare is all good - from the fried cauliflower and fish plate to their famous Majadara (an Iraqi dish made of lentils, rice and onions) and curried pumpkin dumplings (always a hit, with veggies and carnivores alike). Order a pitcher of lemonade to wash it all down, and if you’re feeling indulgent order their chocolate brownie for a sweet treat.
