Sultana 100% Vegan

Green Cat 100% Vegan

Casual beachside vegan restaurant steps from the Mediterranean. The menu spans Thai, Mexican, Middle Eastern, and American comfort food — all 100% plant-based.

🍽️

Hakosem

1 Shlomo HaMelech St, Tel Aviv-Yafo

Named "The Magician" in Hebrew, Hakosem serves what many consider the best falafel in Tel Aviv — which is to say, perhaps the best falafel on earth. The crispy-outside, green-inside balls come in a pita stuffed with tahini, pickled vegetables, and harissa. Most items are naturally vegan. The line is always worth the wait.

HappyCow: ★ 4.5 (580) Price: $5-11 Area: City Center

🍽️

Tenat Ethiopian

23 HaKovshim St, Tel Aviv-Yafo

Authentic Ethiopian restaurant in Florentin where the fasting menu (traditionally vegan) shines. Injera topped with misir wot (red lentils), gomen (collard greens), shiro (chickpea stew), and atkilt (cabbage and carrots). Ethiopian cuisine is one of the world's most naturally vegan-friendly — and Tenat is the best place in Tel Aviv to experience it.

HappyCow: ★ 4.5 (240) Price: $11-19 Area: Florentin

🍽️

Dosa Bar

62 Rothschild Blvd, Tel Aviv-Yafo

South Indian dosa restaurant on Rothschild Boulevard serving giant, crispy crepes filled with potato masala, sambar, and chutneys. Most menu items are naturally vegan. The masala dosa is the signature, but the rava dosa and uttapam are equally impressive. Quick, affordable, and satisfying — a great option for a Rothschild Boulevard lunch break.

How We Ranked These Venues

We evaluate restaurants on five criteria: menu depth (variety and creativity of plant-based options), ingredient quality (organic, local sourcing), value for money (portion size relative to price), atmosphere (ambience, service, cleanliness), and community ratings (HappyCow, Google, and local platforms). Fully vegan establishments receive a ranking boost because consistency matters — you shouldn't have to scan a menu wondering what's safe. We re-check every venue quarterly and adjust rankings accordingly.

Tips for Visitors

Book ahead for dinner. The top-ranked spots fill up fast, especially on weekends. Lunch is almost always walk-in friendly. Check HappyCow for real-time updates — hours and menus shift seasonally. Ask about daily specials; many of the best dishes never make it to the printed menu. And don't skip street food — some of the most memorable plant-based meals in Tel Aviv come from carts and market stalls that will never appear on a "best of" list.
