If we once thought that standing in line was a pleasure reserved for American suckers, today times have changed. Israel has become crowded and the queue for Ben Gurion Airport is really crazy as you see on TV. The evaluation of the system and our extensive experience, where there are the longest queues – and the most lucrative – in Tel Aviv.
Jasmino
By this point, everyone already knows the moment we stood stuck and sweaty in the long queue everyone was pushing, just longing to grab a pita full of jasmine veal almonds. What is troubling in this queue is mainly its amorphies, because who knows where it starts and where it ends, and we just need pita with meat. Want? So stand up, in the end she will come.
Average waiting: 20 minutes

Fort Said
The queue for the fort is a queue of the particularly annoying kind, as you will have to flatter a bitter hostess who does not put it on you to put you on the list. From time to time names are shouted and you just stand on the asphalt with all the people you prefer to avoid sitting in front of you sitting in front of you. This time they have a facial expression that says: We are better than you, by a wide margin. Still, standing in that line is one of the 57 things every Tel Avivian should do before he dies
Average waiting: 57 minutes

OCD
Get ready to beg to stand in line at all. That is, you will beg to enter the guest list (which is full until November) or even the waiting list for the guest list, which is also full. Even if you’re the chef’s brothers, you have no chance. But keep on refreshing on the ontpo because miracles happen, who knows.

You will
Tirza is the wine bar from OCD, which unlike its spiritual father does not need to book a place, but the wait is almost the same wait – only you do it outside with a glass of wine, and it lasts at least an hour. You can sign up for the wait, but you will have to wait outside the bar, as no one will call you to let it be your turn. The bonus – when you are inside you forget. Who cares about who is waiting outside. Will continue to drink wine and resent.
Average waiting: An hour and twenty

Little coffee
Saturday morning in the Florentine hipster stronghold and the queue stretches across at least two streets. Everyone is waiting for an upside-down coffee (fine for real) and Canella di Bordeaux because what else is there to do on Saturday other than see and be seen by those standing in line at the Pook.
Average waiting: 25 minutes

Bar 51
While this is a gift with a sea view, but the gift is the gift is well, the gift. It is difficult to get a place at the coveted Bar 51, and it will be more difficult if you do not book a place at least ten days in advance. If you stumble upon the place and you want to enter, you will have to wait but get lost, it is a matter of waiting in style.
Average waiting: 35 minutes

Delicatessen Brasserie
Many of us have longings for the brasserie institution located in Rabin Square and offered us a soft scrambled egg and a basket of bread at every possible hour of the day. It no longer exists in its original format, and the iconic brunch is now only offered on Friday and Saturday mornings, with no possibility of booking. Bring a fan to the queue because it’s really hot, but inside with the cool jasmine you’ll forget about everything.
Average waiting: 30 minutes

Orr Spitz Bakery
There is no one who passed on Bograshov Street and did not see the impressive queue that stands outside Mrs. Or Spitz’s patisserie. People from all over the country, from Eilat to Rosh Hanikra, stand in line and long for a pinkish shot of intense sweetness in the form of a donut, cupcake or cake. Who are we to judge, we once stood in line for two hours in favor of the Manhattan Crown. But that’s already for another story.
Average waiting: 25 minutes
