Tel Aviv
Israel
As veganism
becomes increasingly the “mode de mange”, Tel Aviv is making a
strong case for being crowned as the plant-based capital of the
world. With around 400 vegan-friendly restaurants speckled
throughout the city, competition is high. Our top picks? Four One
Six serves vegan takes on meaty local classics (such as seitan
shawarma), Bana is unerringly healthy and Opa
has the muted interiors of a White Cube gallery with a pared-back
menu to match. Budding chefs should swing by one of the city’s
shuks (markets) for fresh veg before visiting Levinsky Market in
Florentin to pick up spices (a bag also makes for a charming
souvenir). Of course, no trip to Israel would be complete without
some good, old-fashioned hummus and falafel. Abu Hassan in the Old
City of Jaffa has you covered.
