Herzliya's culinary scene is undergoing a vibrant renaissance, transforming the coastal city into one of the country's most exciting gastronomic destinations. Over recent months, a wave of new restaurants, trendy wine bars, Asian eateries, and artisanal pizzerias has opened across the city, offering diverse dining experiences for locals and visitors alike.
Among the notable openings is Cafe Keshet at HaKeshetim Beach, reviving a decades-abandoned spot overlooking the Mediterranean. Founded by entrepreneur Asaf Katsin, the venue offers morning brunch options and athletes' meals, transitioning in the evening to wood-fired pizzas, fresh fish, and smash burgers. Nearby, Rachel and Andrea Maggi launched Crudo Love, a fusion of Italian and Adriatic-inspired seafood artistry featuring delicacies like bluefin tuna, caviar, and oysters.
Modern Mediterranean and Wine Culture
Avi Biton and his partners from the Popular Group unveiled Club Marine at the Herzliya Marina, inside the Fattal chain's THE YACHT hotel. Designed by Yaron Tal, the Mediterranean seafood restaurant brings a chic Riviera vibe with a 7 million shekel investment. Meanwhile, renowned chef Aviv Moshe returned to full independence with Zvulun, an upscale kosher venue featuring open-fire cooking and traditional Kurdish-Jerusalem flavors.
Wine lovers can explore new spots such as Vin near the Herzliya Municipality, offering a French-style ambiance with an extensive wine list curated by sommelier Idan Dadon, or Marawi, a cozy kosher wine bar on Nordau Street. The Asian culinary scene also expanded with the highly anticipated opening of Cha Laka Le La at the Publica Isrotel Hotel, brought by the team behind the legendary House of Thailand.
Casual Dining and Sweet Additions
For casual outings, Neapolitan 26 serves authentic wood-fired pizzas in Herzliya Pituach, while the Shdera 15 food truck complex near the Air Force House features smash burgers, Asian street food, and New York-style bagels. Additional spots like Cafe Nolita and upcoming branches of major culinary chains promise even more flavor for the city's growing gastronomic map.
