Urbano
Tel Aviv
At a glance
Urbano is a kitchen and bar on Olei Zion Street, in the Flea Market area of Jaffa. The venue sits between the Old City, Clock Square and the market, placing it in a setting shaped by historic streets, stone buildings and the daily movement of the neighbourhood. In Tel Aviv, it offers a distinct Jaffa atmosphere rather than the feel of a conventional city-centre restaurant.
The bar-restaurant occupies an impressive stone building with an individual interior design. The setting combines a contemporary, lively mood with a relaxed approach to service. Urbano’s character comes from the meeting of an active bar, a food-focused restaurant and a local music venue, making it suited to diners looking for a social setting rather than a quiet formal meal.
Food and drinks are served across the day and into the evening, with the venue also operating as a bar at night. The published profile presents Urbano as a place for a casual meal, drinks or an evening that develops around the atmosphere of the market district. The setting can suit a range of occasions, from a daytime stop in Jaffa to a later gathering centred on music and conversation.
Live performances are part of the venue’s identity. Shows take place at night and, on some occasions, during the day, featuring young Israeli performers presenting original material. Some performances have an energetic ethnic character, adding a musical dimension to the dining and bar experience. The programme is not limited to a single sound, so the mood can vary according to the performance taking place.
Urbano also accommodates takeaway and events, extending beyond sit-down dining. The location makes it a practical stop for visitors exploring the Flea Market and the nearby historic parts of Jaffa, while the indoor design and bar format give it an identity of its own. Its combination of food, drinks, live music and a busy neighbourhood setting suits visitors seeking a casual cultural evening, a market-area meal or a place to hear Israeli performers in an informal environment.
