Tirza Wine Bar

A casual Friday afternoon walk through South Tel Aviv in search of groceries unexpectedly led us to a wonderful discovery. While window-shopping, we noticed a warm, inviting vitrine where people were sipping wine and enjoying toast sandwiches that looked irresistible. Curiosity got the better of us, and we stepped inside—only to find a charming wine bar with an open kitchen and a remarkably talented chef, Raz. The space is intimate and thoughtfully designed, with about five seats at the bar and several small tables for couples. There’s also a cozy garden area in the back, though it’s not in use during the winter months. Sitting at the bar gave us a front-row view of the meticulous care and attention invested in each dish as it was prepared. The menu changes every few days, a clear testament to the chef’s creativity and confidence in constantly reinventing the offerings. We sampled several first courses, each beautifully presented and full of flavor. Particularly memorable was the inventive use of finger lime, which delivered a tobiko-like texture and burst of flavor, alongside a surprising and delicious olive oil jam. While the portions are on the smaller side and prices are relatively high, the quality and originality of the food make it worthwhile. Combined with the excellent service and relaxed yet inspiring atmosphere, the experience feels special and well thought out. Overall, this is a place with great vibes, imaginative dishes, and a high level of professionalism. We will definitely be coming back.

Visited with a couple of friends celebrating a birthday. The variety of wine is exceptional and the staff was very knowledgeable and assisted us in selecting a wonderful wine. The food, however, was good, but in very small portions, which were not compatible to the prices in our opinion. I would just recommend not to choose the cheese platter, which was disappointing. I’ll admit that the food we ordered tasted well, especially the wine, and the service was good too. Overall OK, but there are other options in the city with great wine and better food selection and grater value for money.

Without a doubt the best wine bar in Tel Aviv (and in Israel). Friendly and knowledgeable staff, great extensive wine selection, delicious food.

One of a kind. Last things first: this is the only place in tlv that does not ask their guests to evaluate the waiters quality by adding a certain percentage of service. The service is INCLUDED in the price.. And I think this is genius. It should be like this everywhere. The atmosphere is cool. We've been there early (as later there's only walk ins and no reservations) it got crowded within one hour. The wines are great, the food is yummy, perfect to share for two. The waiters are cool and informative. Try it

The place is very cozy. The service was great, everybody was very attentive. Food was very flavorful with interesting combinations of ingredients. I highly recommend to just go for it and try whatever looks at you and you won’t be disappointed.
