What do we think

Asimi: Where the Breeze Carries More Than Salt

The first thing you notice is the sound. Not the kitchen, not the music, but the rhythmic collapse of waves against the shore just meters below your table. A server sets down a plate of ceviche, its citrus glaze catching the late afternoon light, and for a moment the entire Tel Aviv coastline feels like it was arranged for this single view. This is Asimi on a Thursday evening, and the Mediterranean is doing most of the talking.

Opened in May 2024 on the ground floor of 83 HaYarkon Street, Asimi occupies a stretch of beachfront that faces Bograshov Beach head on. Chef Shauli Ezra built the menu around a simple conviction: kosher dairy and fish cooking does not need to apologize for itself. The result is a restaurant that feels neither pious nor rebellious, just genuinely good at feeding people within sight of the water.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does Asimi accept reservations and which platform should I use?

Asimi accepts reservations through the Tabit platform. Booking ahead is strongly recommended for terrace and sea facing tables, particularly on Thursday evenings, Fridays, and Saturday nights when demand peaks. Walk ins are possible on quieter weekday mornings and lunchtimes.

What type of kashrut certification does Asimi hold?

Asimi operates under Rabanut Tel Aviv supervision at the Regila (standard) level. The restaurant is a dairy and fish establishment with no meat on the menu. Dairy products used are not Chalav Yisrael certified. A mashgiach is present during operating hours to maintain kosher standards.

What are Asimi's signature dishes worth ordering?

The cheese tortellini has developed a strong reputation as the standout dish, with handmade pasta in a balanced herbal sauce. The ceviche on bruschetta showcases fresh fish with bright citrus curing. For breakfast, the avocado toast on brioche is notably generous. The whole grilled sea bream is a reliable choice for those who prefer straightforward, well executed fish cookery.

Is Asimi suitable for private events and celebrations?

Asimi hosts private events for groups of up to approximately sixty guests. The beachfront setting works particularly well for celebrations like engagement parties, birthdays, and family gatherings. Event menus typically feature shared small plates including shakshuka, artisan cheeses, fresh bread, and assorted dips alongside the regular menu offerings.

What is the price range at Asimi and what should I expect to spend?

Asimi sits in the moderate to upscale casual range for Tel Aviv dining. A full dinner with a starter, main course, and one drink typically runs between 120 and 160 NIS per person. Breakfast plates tend to be more affordable. The pricing reflects the beachfront location and quality of fresh fish and seasonal ingredients.

Does Asimi have outdoor seating with a sea view?

The terrace at Asimi extends directly toward Bograshov Beach, offering unobstructed views of the Mediterranean. Both indoor and outdoor seating are available, though the terrace tables are the most requested. On warm evenings the front of the restaurant opens fully, blending indoor and outdoor spaces seamlessly.

Is Asimi open on Shabbat and what are the Friday hours?

Asimi opens Friday mornings at 09:00 and closes at 16:30 before Shabbat. On Saturday evenings, the restaurant reopens after Shabbat ends (timing varies seasonally) and stays open until 00:30. This makes it one of the few kosher beachfront options available for both pre Shabbat meals and motzei Shabbat dining in Tel Aviv.
