About the Place

Gaston Crepe & Galette is a kosher French creperie on Dizengoff Street in Tel Aviv, opened in 2024 by pastry chef Mia Hoffman and Michael Iman, whose family founded the legendary La Javanaise patisserie in 1975. The menu spans sweet crepes and savory buckwheat galettes, all naturally gluten free, filled with quality ingredients like Ortiz tuna, artisanal cheeses, labneh with za'atar, and seasonal fruits. Under Rabanut Tel Aviv supervision, this dairy establishment combines inherited French patisserie tradition with professional pastry credentials from some of Tel Aviv's most respected kitchens. Covered outdoor seating on Dizengoff Street captures the casual energy of French street food, open through late nights and motzei Shabbat. Vegan options sit alongside the dairy menu, and Wolt delivery extends the reach. Gaston occupies a specific niche in Tel Aviv's kosher dining landscape: genuine French technique applied to an accessible street food format, backed by a family story that connects Tunisian chocolate making to Israeli cafe culture across three generations.

What do we think

Gaston Crêpe & Galette , French Street Food Heritage on Dizengoff

On the bustling stretch of Dizengoff Street, where Tel Aviv's café culture pulses with eternal energy, Gaston Crêpe & Galette brings something unexpected: authentic French crêpe-making elevated by professional pastry credentials and genuine family heritage. This is not merely another street food stand, it's a culinary narrative spanning continents and generations.

The story begins in Tunisia, where the namesake Gaston operated a chocolate factory. His descendants brought French patisserie tradition to Tel Aviv in 1975, establishing La Javanaise, a café that became synonymous with European elegance in the young Israeli capital. Today, 23-year-old Michael Iman carries forward this legacy alongside pastry chef Mia Hoffman, whose resume includes stints at some of Tel Aviv's most respected kitchens, Pastel, George & John, and Sheila. This combination of inherited tradition and professional training distinguishes Gaston from casual competitors.
