When this laid back restaurant-café opened in the port of Tel Aviv, it was obvious it was going to be a success.

During the summer months, Shalvata is usually full of people, be it a work day or a holiday.  The place offers a good combination of view and space all topped off with a white relaxing decor.  You can sit there gazing at the sea for a romantic experience, or enjoy a recuperating stop if you are out with the kids and have had an exhausting day.  The area of the restaurant is all outdoors and the sea is only a few steps away. 

The food isn't amazing and the service could be better, but people go there for the atmosphere and the view more than anything else. Beware of weekends, then the place can get quite overcrowded and though you may be sitting in the open air you might feel completely cramped!
