Cities Where Street Food is Better Than Any Michelin Restaurant

34. Tel Aviv, Israel: A Fresh & Vibrant Middle Eastern Medley

Tel Aviv's street food scene is a dynamic reflection of its modern, cosmopolitan energy, blending Middle Eastern traditions with fresh, innovative twists. Falafel and sabich (pita stuffed with fried eggplant, hard-boiled eggs, tahini, and Israeli salad) are iconic, with every stall offering its unique take. Explore the Carmel Market for an explosion of sights, sounds, and smells, from freshly squeezed pomegranate juice and spiced nuts to bourekas (savory pastries) and arrays of olives and cheeses. The emphasis on fresh ingredients and bold flavors makes Tel Aviv a truly exciting and delicious street food destination.
