North Abraxas by Eyal Shani צפון אברקסס

North Abraxas by Eyal Shani is an elegant, intimate chef restaurant on Lilienblum Street in Tel Aviv, with a menu shaped by the culinary style associated with Eyal Shani. The restaurant sits within the city’s business district, where its interior dining room looks out towards the busy street while maintaining a warm, enclosed feel.

The setting combines a refined restaurant atmosphere with a relaxed sense of closeness. A round bar forms part of the interior, adding a central social point and making the space suitable for diners who enjoy being near the movement of the room. The overall character is intimate rather than expansive, with the food and the restaurant’s close-up atmosphere taking priority.

North Abraxas serves chef-led cuisine inspired by Eyal Shani, making it a choice for diners interested in expressive cooking and a restaurant experience with a distinct culinary identity. The menu is presented as part of the experience rather than as a casual café offering, while the warm interior keeps the setting approachable for an evening meal or a more measured daytime visit.

The restaurant’s location makes it convenient for exploring the streets around Lilienblum, Rothschild Boulevard and the surrounding central business area. Its street-facing position gives the dining room a connection to the pace of the city without turning the restaurant into a purely open or informal space. The combination of an urban setting, an intimate room and chef-inspired food suits couples, small groups and diners planning a food-focused occasion.

Reservations are available, and larger parties can be arranged through the restaurant. Groups of more than eight guests are asked to submit a request in advance so that the restaurant can coordinate the details. Nearby parking options include car parks on Rothschild 1, Lilienblum 32 and Yehuda Halevi 34. North Abraxas is best approached as a compact, atmosphere-led restaurant where the setting and the cooking are designed to be experienced together.
