Kosher Restaurants Near the Tel Aviv Beach: Port, Promenade and Hotels

By Solomon Wiesen, TLV Beaches. Last reviewed October 2026.

The easiest place to eat kosher by the Tel Aviv beach is the Tel Aviv Port (Namal), where Furman’s, Lechem Basar, Piano Piano, Oshi Oshi and Café Café all hold kosher certificates and sit on the boardwalk above the sea. On the central promenade, SIMO is a new kosher meat restaurant facing the beach, and the big seafront hotels (Hilton, Sheraton, Royal Beach) run kosher restaurants. Most kosher places close from Friday afternoon until Saturday night.

Kosher status changes when a restaurant changes owners, chefs or supervisors. Every listing below was checked against a kosher directory or the restaurant’s own signage in October 2026, but always look for the current certificate (teudat kashrut) on the wall before you order. If it is not displayed, ask to see it.

Kosher restaurants near the Tel Aviv beach at a glance

Kashrut levels from the Kosher in Tel Aviv directory and GoKosher, checked October 2026. SIMO from its venue listing and the kosher sign on the building.

Kosher at the Tel Aviv Port (Namal)

The Tel Aviv Port at the north end of the promenade has the densest cluster of kosher food near any Tel Aviv beach. The restaurants face the boardwalk deck and the sea, and Metzitzim Beach is a two minute walk south.

Furman’s

A pizza place on the port promenade and the simplest kosher meal by the beach. Good for families coming off the sand at Metzitzim.

Lechem Basar

The meat option at the port, with a large terrace on the boardwalk deck. The English sign reads Meat and Eat.

Piano Piano

An Italian restaurant next to Lechem Basar, with outdoor tables facing the sea.

Oshi Oshi

A sushi bar on the port deck. The sign on the building reads Oshi Sushi and Bar.

Café Café

A branch of the Israeli cafe chain at the port, useful for breakfast before the beach. Kosher status varies between branches of this chain, so the certificate here applies only to this branch.

Rashel TLV

A kosher restaurant at the eastern side of the port, a few minutes from the boardwalk.

Not confirmed kosher at the port: Golda ice cream (most Tel Aviv branches are not kosher), the Treysar restaurant above it, and Pâte & Puff bakery. Check for a certificate before you buy.

Kosher on the central promenade

SIMO

SIMO is new on the seafront, with a glass-fronted dining room facing the promenade. It is one of very few kosher meat restaurants with a direct sea view in central Tel Aviv. Ask to see the certificate, since the supervising body is not listed publicly yet.

Craft Pizza

Up the steps at Atarim Square, above the marina and Gordon Beach.

Asimi

On HaYarkon Street, one block from the sand between Trumpeldor and Bograshov.

Kosher hotel restaurants on the seafront

The big beachfront hotels keep their restaurants kosher, and they are open to outside guests. They are the safest choice on Shabbat, when most independent kosher places are closed; book ahead.

• Darya and Onami at the Hilton Tel Aviv, 205 HaYarkon St, above Hilton Beach. Rabbanut.
• Manara at the Sheraton Grand Tel Aviv, 115 HaYarkon St, by Frishman Beach. Rabbanut.
• West Side at the Royal Beach Hotel, 19 HaYarkon St, near Banana Beach. Rabbanut.

Kosher at the Jaffa Port

BlackOut, on the Second Aliya Pier at the Jaffa Port, is the kosher option at the south end of the promenade (Rabbanut).

Not kosher, but on the beach pages

Some of the best-known beach restaurants are not kosher, including La Mer, Mike’s Place, Shake Shack and White Pergola at the port, and McDonald’s at Bograshov. See the full list of beach bars and restaurants.

Shabbat and kosher food by the beach

Most kosher restaurants close on Friday afternoon and reopen after Shabbat on Saturday night. Hotel restaurants serve Shabbat meals to guests and, with a booking, to outside diners. The Tayelet promenade is inside the Tel Aviv eruv but the sand is not; see the beach on Shabbat and synagogues near the beach.
