The annual Ta’am Ha’ir festival, which takes place in HaYarkon Park opposite the Luna Park, is a food lover’s paradise! Literally meaning “Taste of the City”, it gives everybody a chance to taste some of the finest food in Tel Aviv at cheapo prices.
Now celebrating it’s 15th year (wow, I remember going to the very first one!), Ta’am Ha’ir kicks off tomorrow evening (13th June) and lasts til Thursday night (the 16th). The action starts at 18:00 each evening, and lasts til the last belly is full…or the last morsel has been wolfed down.
Tel Aviv’s best restaurants (see our guides to the ten most awesome Tel Aviv restaurants and the very best restaurants, cafes and bars of 2010) and wineries will have samples of their best dishes and drinks on offer, all at special prices (the average dish will be something like 30-35 shekels!).
It’s a great night out, with lots of people, lots of food, live bands, celebrity Israeli chefs plying their trade, and even workshops for kids. And all mixed up with a heavy dose of summertime vibes…
Here’s a taste of what Ta’am Ha’ir is all about…yummy!!
