Aladin's cave


If in Tel Aviv treat yourself to a meal at the restaurant with the best location in the city. Situated in the lod port of Jaffa, high up on the hill, the restaurant seems to literally hang off a cliff overthe sea, so that oyu have apanaramic view of Tel-Aviv's coast line.

They have a varanda/patio which gets you even closer to being over the edge, and the cool breeze inside or out makes this place a haven.
The restaurant is small and intimate, good for a romantic evening or a friend's night out. It is not the best place for kids, but I have been there with 4 kids ranging from baby to teenager and it was fine.
The atmosphere is warm friendly, but classier than the average places in the are, it is not a hummus joint. The lighting is from lamps, and the cool stone walls and antique looking decoration add to the cosy feel of the place. That and the fact that the building is more than 600 years old.
You can get fish, sea food, meat, fresh salads, and yes hummus, as well as wine and alcohol. The pickles are home made by the owner.
Where:
Aladin Restaurant, 5 Mifratz Shlomoh, Old Jaffa
Geting there:
2 minutes from the clock tower. Head for the entrance to the port, there is a fork, left is the entrance to the port and right is up to the artists neigbourhood, a few churches, and the old cobbled streets. Go right, keep walking, and it is on your left after about 10 minutes.
