Asif: Culinary Institute Of Israel

The food is amazing, elevated yet never overdone or pretentious, and always made with fresh, high-quality ingredients. It’s rare to find a restaurant that continually reinvents itself while remaining authentic. And each time there’s new dishes that complement the regular menu. From the attentive, on-point service to the fair prices, great vibes, rotating art exhibits, and complete cookbook library(!), Asif is a perfect combination of traditional and modern. I’ve been here several times and cannot recommend it enough to anyone visiting Tel Aviv!

We came on Thursday noon without a reservation and had a place at the bar (my favourite 🤩), the service was fantastic off the bat, we were going to order a few dishes and the waiter said he thinks it's too much and let's start with some and we can always add later. He was so right and we were thankful to him. The food was delicious, everything was fresh well portioned and really tasty. We had such a good time that we booked their brunch for the following day and had yet another great experience. It's just a really good place in TLV, with great service, food and atmosphere.

My second visit - Breakfast: Today I was trying to breakfast for the first time, I must say that I was not impressed with the food. First I must say that I write a lot about coffee and the coffee was absolutely one of the best in Tel Aviv! But, The the food… The tahini was better, The soft cheese was nothing special or tasty, The salad was with medium quality vegetables and lots of oil, The jam was ok and The bread was pretty good. So overall I did not have a feeling of “ The culinary institute of Israel” I expected choosing the perfect olives for example 🤷🏻‍♂️ However, this restaurant is very new so I’m definitely going to come back and see what changed! The atmosphere was still very nice ( very cold so you do need a sweater at the morning ) but super fun to sit in. ———————————————————— Great experience Absolutely a must go restaurant We had such a great experience at this new restaurant in Tel Aviv, The whole concept is fantastic, A full experience of beauty taste and atmosphere. We were there for lunch but I definitely would suggest the restaurant for anytime. I’m looking forward to experience more of this place.

So this is more than just a Coffee place. It’s a culinary institute and has Public library Vertical farm Gallery for changing exhibitions Cafe and Deli Sharing some photos here. With regards to the Coffee and Deli, coffee is great, food is fresh and tasty. Place looks cozy and esthetic, Scandinavian chic. Definitely worth the visit. EnJoy :)

Lovely place. I took a tea up to the library (which includes only culinary books, unfortunately or fortunately for others), and sat down on the big sofa to work a little on my laptop. It was really cozy, really quiet and very welcoming. The interior design is very well curated and the servers were all very nice. Thank you!
