Cafe Noir

All-day Bauhaus-neighbourhood spot famous for schnitzel

Address Echad Ha'am 43 (corner of Nachmani)

A Tel Aviv institution that shifts register through the day: coffee and pastries in the morning, proper lunches at midday, and a dim, candle-lit bar scene after dark. The neighbourhood — south of the old centre, dense with Bauhaus-era apartment blocks — gives it more local feel than the tourist strips to the north.

The schnitzels are the reason most people come. They're oversized, properly breaded, and reliably good. The menu runs broader than that, but the schnitzel is what regulars order and what first-timers should try. The low lighting that makes evening dining atmospheric also means the place can feel slow when it's crowded — service stretches at peak hours.
