When: 2010

Large, bustling, popular fish restaurant - lots of outdoor seating, some right next to the water.

Directions: In the Old Port in Tel Aviv, at the northern part of the city.

Well, they translate Hasuka halevana as The White Pergula (sic), but I'd call it The White Canopy. Regardless, this is a fun, nice restaurant.

It was very, very busy in a Friday night in early June. Waiters bustling around very efficiently - the service was quite good considering how busy they were. There were many large groups having a nice restaurant meal.

Without even asking for it, pita and about 11 dips are brought to the table (as was the case in two other fish restaurants we went to in Israel). You can fill up on these alone. But it's worth saving some room for the main course. Off of the large menu, we had one shrimp dish as well as rouget. The rouget was delicious; the shrimp was kind of undercooked - perhaps that's the prevailing preference of the chef. I didn't send it back - I'm sure they would have cooked it more. Still, it was nicely seasoned, etc. All in all, a very nice dinner.
