A relaxed, confident seafood spot where the product speaks for itself. The open kitchen and raw fish counter immediately set the tone — whole fish on ice, oysters, citrus, olive oil. Nothing hidden, nothing overdone.
The food follows a natural seaside flow: fresh raw dishes, crisp fried bites, and generous, saucy seafood mains. Flavourful but never heavy, perfectly suited to eating by the sea.
The rhythm is calm and unforced, encouraging sharing and lingering. With the ocean just outside and an easy Tel Aviv atmosphere, Chacoli is the kind of place you plan a meal at — and end up staying longer than expected.
Honest seafood, great flow, and a true seaside feel.

Great location, great food and great atmosphere. The chief, Yardena, is really great. Very innovative and surprising cooking results with gourmet dishes. Adding sea view of Tel Aviv beaches makes visit here an amazing experience. Will definitely come again to this finest Tel Aviv restaurant.

We went to check what the hype is all about ..
And we weren’t disappointed ! Very tasty and creative food, based mainly on fresh local Fish and seafood. Fine cocktails and a nice selection of wines from all over the globe, this place Rock.
I made a reservation for 6 people inside and we received a table with high chairs.. (Not specified in the reservation process).
The crew immediately arranged a different table
There was a problem with one dish that was delayed for a long time but we got an apology and free dessert for this incident

We had a really good time in this place, the food is delicious but small like almost everywhere in Tel Aviv.
Actually we came on Saturday morning and we had a lucky place for an hour and a half.
We ordered few dishes that were all very good.
The Halumy with honey and the fishes were delicious
I would want to try more of the dishes next time!

Yes, it's expensive. Yes, it's worth every single penny. We were a party of four. Told our amazing server Shemesh we weren't going to bother with the menu - we eat everything and he should bring us whatever he recommends. One dish was better than the next. From the "simple" tomato salad (nothing simple about the taste 😋), to the perfect octopus, to the padrones which took me back to Spain. Had several fish dishes. Had the namesake Chaculi wine, which was perfect for the meal. Only problem was that we seriously over ate...
Was so busy enjoying the food that took no pictures.
Will most definitely return. More than once, even though we do not live in the area. Can't wait for the next time.
