Meshek Barzilay

A year ago I would have given Meshek a much less favorable review, but as of November 2024, the menu has been massively improved! This is now hands down some of the best Vegan food in Tel Aviv. In particular, the beet tortellini is something everyone should experience at least once in their life (but preferably more). It’s a stunning dish. I’ll definitely be coming back here asap.

Great vegan spot in Tel Aviv. The outside vibe is very nice. The 4 of us tried some appetizers, the special of the day and a main dish. We spend 138ILS each

The food was great! The risotto was tasty but the tortellini definitely won it all! The special desert we ordered was from labanne which was different. But rhe biggest disappointment we had is that we mentioned in the beginning that it was my birthday and not even a candle was given in the desert time. And when we left they all seemed mad and didn’t greet us, it was a wierd feeling. But other than not being personal to us we loved tje food, they gave us to taste their red wines (just Israeli types of red wine) and the food came fast with no waiting extra, fresh and tasty! And the location is great!!

Best Vegan restaurant I found in Tel Aviv! And they also have a deli. Best place, great atmosphere, staff is soo friendly! 💙🤍

Food was not that amazing. We ordered 4 appetizers, two of them were way too salty for my taste (tofu and mushrooms). Service was great at the beginning but it started to go down the hill until the end. We had a table very close to another table at the point that was hard for me to stand up because behind me was another person at the neighbor table. Deserts were ok, matcha ice cream had no flavor. Our waitress disappeared at some point so I had to ask someone else to get our bill. When we got our bill we were asked if we would like a complimentary drink at which we said yes for whiskey…and guess what?! It never came. When we left, the same lady said goodbye to us. So unfortunately not a great experience!

Its not too hearty and cheap but it has nice ring to it, interesting menu, definitely a vegans hot spot. Meals are not big but still you leave rather well eaten. Flavors are good. Service is maybe one step behind to what it could be but it doesn’t take away from the experience.

I never thought I would ever choose to go to a vegan restaurant, but since trying their food I wish I could come back to this restaurant every week! So why four stars instead of the five that such an amazing food deserves? Because they are the only restaurant I’ve been to in Israel that gives prices in the menus without the mandatory taxes (VAT), so that when the bill finally arrives it is actually 17% more expensive than what the menu indicated (and that’s before tips). As all other restaurants and shops in Israel give prices with VAT already included, it was definitely a bad surprise here…

One of the best vegan restaurants in Tel Aviv. The food is awesome, creative and truly satisfactory. And I'm writing this as an everyday meat eater:) Amazing veggie burger is a must. Don't skip the seasonal menu, which is always spot on! And finally: the deserts are truly awesome. If You're looking to spend calories- this is the place!
