Additional Details
Pastel is located in the Herta and Paul Amir Building of the Tel Aviv Museum of Art, near the Statues Garden. It features three distinct areas: a dining room, a terrace, and a bar. The design was created by Baranowitz + Kronenberg.
We've visited this place recently and were truly impressed. The highlight for us was the carrot soup — rich, smooth, and full of deep flavor. It was perfectly seasoned.
We also had the entrecôte, which was tasty and cooked well, but not quite at the same high standard as the rest of the dishes. Still enjoyable, just not the standout of the meal.
Special thanks to Michael, our waiter, who was attentive, professional, and made us feel truly welcome.
The service overall was excellent, and the atmosphere warm and inviting. Highly recommended for anyone who appreciates quality and flavor in every bite.
We'll definitely return.

Calm atmosphere on Saturday at ~2pm. Polite staff, great tasting food, shade, and decent portions. Not cheap.
We had the Cucumber starter, the Shishbarak (which was brilliant), the gnocchi, Mediterranean Fish, Lulu Chicken, and Sabres Sorbet (which was fantastic, but confusingly labeled as "olive oil" שמן זית in the menu)

We have been to Tel Aviv many times and every time we have to go to Pastel. The food is fantastic - both for your brain and stomach, the service is excellent - they care for you and the atmosphere is something you remember. Go go go there!

An incredible dining experience from start to finish.
The food was on an extreme level. starters, mains, and desserts were all outstanding. We were saying “wow” after every single dish.
We celebrated a 50th birthday, and the restaurant surprised us with extra desserts and shots, which was such a thoughtful and generous touch.
The service was exceptional. professional, and warm.
Truly one of the best dining experiences we’ve had. Highly recommended.

Real fine dining in TLV.. In summer evenings sit outside, the restaurant has a nice outdoor section. I LOVED the shushbarak. Although it does not resemble its namesake - the Arabic meat dumplings - but nevertheless, these are quite awesome dumplings! We ordered them twice.
