Restaurant in Tel Aviv, Israel
Residential Hotel Bar
Bellboy on Berdyczewski Street is one of Tel Aviv's more accessible hotel-adjacent dining options, with easy reservations and a local-skewing crowd. It is not the place for a high-profile award-winning dinner, but it works well for low-friction bookings and quieter group meals. Compare it against Habasta and Ha'Achim before committing.
If you have visited Bellboy before, the honest question on a return trip is whether anything has shifted enough to justify coming back over the newer openings on Berdyczewski Street. Based on what the address tells you — a hotel-adjacent venue in a residential pocket of Tel Aviv — the answer depends more on why you are going than whether the kitchen has changed. For a first-timer, the location on a quieter street away from the Rothschild corridor puts it in a different register from the louder, more tourist-facing rooms in the centre. For a returning visitor, that quieter energy is either the point or it is not.
Bellboy sits at 14 Berdyczewski Street in Tel Aviv-Yafo, which places it in a neighbourhood where the crowd skews local rather than tourist-heavy. That matters for how the room feels and how reservations move. Booking here is rated easy, which means you are unlikely to need to plan weeks in advance the way you would for a high-demand counter at somewhere like HaSalon. For spontaneous plans or a secondary booking on a Tel Aviv trip, that accessibility is a practical advantage. If you are building a broader itinerary, our full Tel Aviv restaurants guide gives you a fuller picture of where Bellboy fits relative to the city's current options.
The address references a hotel building, which raises the question of private and group dining. Hotel-adjacent venues in Tel Aviv tend to have more flexible space configurations than standalone restaurants, and the ability to separate a group from the main room is worth asking about directly when you book. If a private or semi-private setting is the deciding factor , say, for a business dinner or a celebration where conversation matters more than atmosphere , confirm room availability at booking rather than assuming it. Compare this to Alena at The Norman, which operates within a well-regarded hotel context and has a clearer private dining setup. For groups who want the hotel-context experience with more established credentials, Alena is the stronger call. Bellboy's easier booking window makes it the more practical fallback if Alena is full.
For the food and travel enthusiast who wants depth and context in Tel Aviv rather than the most-discussed room on any given week, Bellboy offers a lower-friction entry point into the city's dining scene. It is not the place to go if you want to tick off a high-profile award-winning kitchen , for that, venues like Aria or Abie are better positioned. But if you want a room that reads as genuinely local, with a booking process that does not require planning a month out, the Berdyczewski Street address earns a look. Cross-reference it against Habasta and Ha'Achim before you decide , both are also accessible, Israeli-focused, and give you a clearer sense of what the mid-range Tel Aviv dining scene delivers at its leading.
Tel Aviv's broader dining circuit is worth mapping before you commit to any single reservation. Beyond restaurants, the city's bar and hotel scene adds context to where Bellboy sits socially , see our full Tel Aviv bars guide and hotels guide for the full picture. If you are travelling beyond the city, Uri Buri in Acre and Majda in Har Nof are worth adding to a regional itinerary for contrast. Closer to home, Abu Hassan in Jaffa remains one of the most argued-over lunch stops in the metro area and deserves a spot on the same trip.
