Dinner at Raphael was fantastic. Try to sit on one of their sea view facing couches, which are comfy and fun, and maybe catch the sunset if you get there early. Food was fanstatic from the bread basket to the Valrhona chocolatey desert... especially liked their sashimi and tarter first courses. will definitely come back.

I have been a few times at Raphael and I must say that the food is everytime better. I was there this week again and had dinner on the bar. It was really great. The atmosphere, the food and the service was really excellent. And the place where the restaurant is, with great views of the sea make it an... More

The company was excellent, the window table afforded an excellent view, the food was disappointing considering the reviews and word of mouth, and reputation of Raffi Cohen, but the food was nothing spectacular like Mul Yam or even Le Shuk, but the standout of the evening was the awful service.

We went there for dinner based on the recommendations from other travel guides but we found the place to be very average. Nothing special. Food is ok, prices are high. The athmosphere was very good with the best of tel aviv having dinner at te place but nothing else.
