The latest restaurant and bar list on the World’s 50 Best Discovery website includes seven Tel Aviv hotspots and one in Jerusalem.

In the bar category for Tel Aviv, Hotel B Berdichevsky’s Bellboy is recommended as a “fun hotel bar” and its “cute little sister” Butler is called a “chic secret bar.” The famed Imperial Craft Cocktail Bar is cited for its “flavour-led fun.”

In the Tel Aviv restaurant category, two Carmel Market eateries made the cut: HaBasta, recognized for its market-to-table small plates, and M25 for its charcoal-grilled prime cuts.

Also in the restaurant category, Pastel at the Tel Aviv Museum complex is recommended for its “modern brasserie masterpieces” and Milgo & Milbar is lauded for its “hip fish dishes.” M&M won a World Luxury Restaurant Award last August.

Machneyuda restaurant in Jerusalem’s Machane Yehuda Market made the World’s 50 Best Discovery list for its “indulgent market-fresh plates.”
