Nana Bar and Restaurant in Neveh Tzedek - comfy style
If you walk around the streets of Tel Aviv and take the time to look, one place you may want to walk around is the hip and newly renovated Neveh Tzedek area. This is one of the oldest areas of Tel Aviv with beautiful architecture. The last few years, artists, gallery owners and small boutiques have been taking over and renovating. some say it is too late to move in. But is you want to shop or eat a nice meal, come down to 1 Echad Ha'am to the Nana Bar and Restaurant. This is a medium size restaurant with a full menu. In the front you will find a nice sitting area with a nice bar leading to the eating area. You can tell the age of the building by the inside courtyard which serves as an outside "room" especially on warm evenings.
Outside Nana is not impressive.
The restaurant is decorated in antique large tables which makes for an old homey feel. I sat outside on a warm evening in the beginning of October. The atmosphere was nice and the service was good and not hurried. At about 9:30 PM the place was almost full. Most of the tables were occupied by groups of four or more. We ordered salmon, steak and a serving of lamb pieces for main course. For starters I have a squash-sweet potato soup with ginger. We also had traditional Yemenite lamb meat soup, salty and thick. We also shared a nice green salad. The meat dishes were outstanding both the cuts and the preparation and seasoning. For desert we shared a creme brule and an ice cream with fruit sauce (berries and liqueur). They also had a nice selection of cocktails and aperitifs which I would recommend above everything. Nice to have a good restaurant with a good bar. Overall, this is one nice place, take a look at their site (in Hebrew) and come for a visit. If anything, you can stroll around the streets and window shop, or order a drink at the bar and puff on a cigar!
