Tony And Esther

When I introduce people to Tony And Esther Restaurant, I usually start by saying it’s one of those places that instantly feels familiar, even if it’s your first visit. Sitting right on Levinski Street in Tel Aviv-Yafo, Tony And Esther has a relaxed restaurant vibe that fits perfectly with the energy of the neighborhood, casual yet full of personality. The space invites you to slow down, whether you’re grabbing a quick bite in the middle of the day or settling in for a longer evening with friends. Outdoor seating is a big plus here, especially when the street comes alive, but it’s just as comfortable to dine in or pop by for takeaway when time is tight. What really stands out is how easy it is to find something that matches your mood. Some days call for coffee and a small plate, while others lean more toward cocktails, wine, or a cold beer during happy hour. The menu feels flexible and inclusive, with vegetarian and vegan options that don’t feel like afterthoughts, alongside late-night food that actually satisfies. I also like how the offerings flow naturally from afternoon to night, moving from quick bites to spirits and cocktails without any fuss. There’s alcohol if you want it, but there’s no pressure, which makes it a good spot for mixed groups with different tastes. Tony And Esther manages to balance being lively without being overwhelming, and social without feeling crowded. It’s the kind of restaurant you can recommend confidently because it works for so many situations, from casual meetups to spontaneous evenings that stretch later than planned, all while keeping things approachable, easygoing, and very Tel Aviv in spirit.
