A classy but family-friendly fish restaurant in downtown Tel Aviv. Goocha is on the corner of Dizengoff and Ben Gurion streets, so the outside tables are perfect for people-watching. Sit and soak up the buzz of the city as it comes alive after sundown. The seafood is fabulous; grilled, fried, curried or with fresh pasta, and the kids’ fish and chips was a hit. Staff are friendly and happy to make suggestions or change something up a bit for you. You could easily sit here for hours, but it’s pretty popular, so they’re gonna need that table back. You can skip dessert though – the best gelato in Tel Aviv is a short hop away at Otello on Dizengoff.

For a family-friendly carbo-load, Gemma’s Italian Restaurant is great; huge pizzas and steaming bowls of super-fresh pasta. Just what you need after a few hours exploring Jaffa’s flea market and antique stores, and repeating the mantra ‘please, look don’t touch.’ The restaurant is on a corner plot in the trendy Noga district, just on the outskirts of Jaffa, and the pedestrianised street is perfect for outdoor dining. We recommend the osso buco linguini; veal shanks cooked overnight in the taboon oven and shredded over pasta. Yum. Unfortunately, they don’t do kid-sized pizzas, so bank on taking home a doggie bag when you leave.

Thai house is no ordinary Thai restaurant. At least not by British standards. It’s fancy but kid-friendly, authentic and super-fresh. It’s also incredibly popular, so best to book ahead. Inside it’s all bamboo and wicker, and staff who know the dishes inside out. There’s a huge selection, so you may need their help deciding what to order. We went for several dishes to share, including some kid-friendly spring rolls, hot-as-hell grilled pork and soft, glassy crystal shrimps. All of it delicious. The Thai vegetables are specially grown at the restaurant’s farm, and the chefs make fresh coconut milk every day. That’s dedication to the foodie cause.

Neighborhoods
A short walk south along the coast from downtown Tel Aviv brings you to the old Arab port town of Jaffa, with its preserved acropolis remains and well-restored stone architecture.
Much of the original bazaar area is now home to restaurants and artisan boutiques. It's particularly lively in the evening when the old town throngs with diners.
The flea market here is the major attraction for visitors, full of the hubbub of a genuine souk, while St. Peter's Monastery and the Old Port area itself are also not to be missed.
Compared to the big-city hustle of Tel Aviv, Jaffa is a wonderfully tranquil place for a stroll that, despite serious gentrification, still retains its old-fashioned charm.
