Chacoli

Chacoli is a Spanish fish restaurant on Herbert Samuel Street, directly opposite the beach in Tel Aviv. Its setting places the restaurant beside the city’s seafront, with a dining style built around relaxed sharing and the flavours of southern Spain.

The menu focuses on Spanish seafood and fish, presented through tapas and larger plates intended for the centre of the table. The format suits meals that develop gradually, with several dishes shared across the table rather than a single main course for each guest. An Andalusian influence shapes the cooking, bringing the character of southern Spain into a contemporary Tel Aviv setting.

Drinks are part of the experience, with Spanish-leaning wines served alongside spritz cocktails and margaritas. The combination gives Chacoli a social, informal atmosphere that works for a long lunch, an evening meal or a casual drink accompanied by small plates. Its seaside location adds to the sense of an easygoing coastal restaurant, while the tapas format keeps the meal flexible for different group sizes.

Chacoli is suited to diners who enjoy fish, seafood and Spanish food, particularly those looking for shareable dishes rather than a formal multi-course structure. It can also work for groups planning a sociable meal around the table. The restaurant’s location at Retsif Herbert Samuel St 3 makes it a practical stop for a meal near the beach, whether the visit is part of a seafront walk or an evening in the surrounding central area.
