Top Meat Restaurants in Tel Aviv: Value for Your Shekel

2024-03-29 16:45:09

The harsh increases in food prices, which started long before the war, also affected the local meat market. The steak, in other words, has become too expensive for our blood. However, we are big believers in the right to choose, and if you feel like sinking your teeth into some juicy meat, it’s better that you at least know which restaurants will give you value for your shekel. These are the best meat restaurants, ranked by pricing level.

Hudson

What does the name “New York Windows” mean to you? At this point, carnivore foodies are gurgling with delight at an encounter with sirloin squares in Japanese toffee sauce, a flagship dish in Hudson for 15 years. From there, things only go from bad to worse in the best possible section, to perfectly seasoned steaks and a hamburger that leaves dust for younger establishments. Hudson Lilienblum, which opened two years ago as a diner, has since changed its face to a restaurant that is a little less formal than the mother space in the soldier level, but still great. The prices are very high, but quality meat is an expensive product, and Hudson makes sure to provide full value for every shekel.

Flame

The Khashara meat restaurant, which opened two months before the outbreak of war, was closed on the seventh of October, when the owners were drafted into the reserves. Now it has reopened and the dreaded grilling facility is once again scorching vegetables, meats and desserts and enveloping them in the aromas of fire and smoke. The prices have also undergone a rethinking and are now friendlier, for example a 300 gram sirloin for NIS 138. The location at the Carlton Hotel feels like a little jump abroad, and the sea that can be seen beyond the window is another bonus.

Itzik the Great

Itzik the Great’s aging refrigerator is one of the most beautiful and high-quality meat lockers in the city thanks to the herds of cattle that the owners raise and nurture themselves. Put aside the parade of salads and starters and put their trust in entrecote, fillet and special cuts that are seasoned and grilled to perfection. At the large Itzik butchery across the street you can buy similar cuts (as well as ground meat and chicken) to prepare at home, and if Jaffa is far from you, look for the meat station – automatic machines for selling meat when the butcher is closed.

Meat and wine trigger + Django

“The taste of the meat danced in our mouths, the combination between the charred outer side and the softness of the inner parts was delightful and everything managed to be Schrödinger’s steak – one that at once manages to have a body that allows for a proper bite, and also melts on the tongue like a cloud“, said our visitor after finishing a dizzying meal at Trigger Meat and Wine. The combination of meat, wine, an eye-level approach and a high VFM have made the bistro an address for carnivores who know how to appreciate fine meat but are not willing to take its neighbor for it. In the short time that has passed since then, the empire of Ish The meat Guy Trigger and his partners have an impressive moment, with the addition of Django restaurant to the portfolio, which further refines the VFM with great burgers and a pleasant eating experience that we have recently met. The sexy bar Rouge and the new wine bar Dandesh Wine Shop complete for now what seems to be a group with the most meat in the city

Cliff farm

Location in a sleepy northern neighborhood and simple design do not betray the fact that this is an excellent meat restaurant. Since the corona virus and the transition to the “Zotzik” format, Tzok Farm is more accessible, especially if you stick to the perfect hamburger and sophisticated appetizers such as carpaccio and asado snacks. Steaks are an expensive pleasure here as well, but with an overall calculation you can steer the meal to districts that do not require the sale of a kidney.

M25

Chefs Yaron Kastenbaum and Jonathan Borovitch’s meat spot looks at first glance like an out-of-control market restaurant, but don’t let that confuse you: the cuts deviate from the usual steak routine and wink at artisanal products such as port sausages, backbone skewers, smoked tongue and grilled skewers. At the branch in Ramat Aviv the atmosphere is a little more solid and suitable for a meal with the parents.

OF Burger & Steak

“This is one war too many. After 20 years, we ran out of power,” says Gyora Ashkenazi, owner of NG. The restaurant in Neve Tzedek has not opened since the seventh of October and the excellent hamburger pop-up that operated for a short time on Lillinblum Street has also closed. In their place, a restaurant was opened in the north of the city in a “lean” format that suits the situation, without waiters and at a more affordable price, with the same meticulous meat but without the shiny wrapper of old. In a situation of empty pockets and a crumbling economy, a juicy steak for NIS 120 is a comfort that can still be afforded.

with Br

For more than two decades Meat Bar Restaurant has been doing things with a solid consistency that lets the meat speak for itself. On the menu you won’t find edible micro leaves and flowers, but egg salad with fried onions and schmaltz, beef carpaccio and other favorite dishes as a prelude to sexy steaks, homemade beef sausages, white filet as before and spareribs in orange and honey sauce. Next Generation Meat Bar next door, as its name suggests, is a pleasant neighborhood bar with a carnivore orientation, and the Meitabar Burger branches scattered in the city are a successful spot for an easy stop for a hamburger or something nearby.

A place of meat

The old restaurant in Shabazi leaves reality out and focuses on the simple pleasures of life. From the kitchen in the ancient and romantic building, generous portions of meat are served, mainly juicy and flavorful goat steaks with traditional toppings in the style of US steakhouses. There is no need to touch what works and a winning horse is not replaced.

Who and who

Where else can you find a white steak at a reasonable price? So it’s true that the atmosphere is Menachem Begin in the eighties, for better or for worse, and the nostalgia also beats the price. It’s hard to call it a cheap price, but in relation to your other options, there are large dishes with the taste of the past with a less harsh price tag. Sometimes all we need is reasonable meat and we relax.
