Non-kosher; located on the second floor of Hangar 12, offering beautiful views of the Tel Aviv port. Dishes are smaller than typical main courses; expect a higher price point.
My wife and I had an amazing dinner here.
The restaurant is on the waterfront, therefore the view of the sea from the restaurant is great, especially if you make a reservation around sunset. The place is rather small, so it has a nice cozy atmosphere.
We really liked the concept that all ingredients are seasonal and sourced locally.
The portions are rather small, so we ordered 7 dishes and bread, which was more than enough for us. As expected from a high-tier chef's restaurant.
The dishes were original with interesting flavors and very tasty.
Simple and clean presentation without any over complications.
The menu concept is for people who value originality and unique flavors over portion size and are willing to share, otherwise you may be disappointed.
The service was excellent, timely and polite.
Our only suggestion is adding a fixed tasting menu designed by the chef.
We highly recommend this restaurant and will probably visit again.
If you haven’t been to Treysar yet, put it on your list immediately — especially if you can catch their happy hour from 6–7pm for 15% off. My friend and I grabbed a table with the most stunning waterfront view, and the food matched every bit of it.
We started with the feta and tomatoes — simple, fresh, and beautifully presented — alongside the shoshka pepper (a slow-roasted sweet pepper dish), and the house bread, which arrived warm on a wooden board. The bread alone was worth the visit.
I also ordered the green beans, which came plated elegantly in a rich sauce with thin shaved chips on top — honestly looked like fine dining but felt completely approachable.
But the real showstopper? Dessert. A zaatar ice cream quenelle sitting on a bed of crumble, served with olive oil jam. It sounds unusual but tasted absolutely mind-blowing — earthy, creamy, and unlike anything I’ve had before.
The setting — overlooking the waterfront through rustic iron railings at golden hour — made everything feel magical.

Really delicious food. Extremely friendly for vegetarians, about half the menu is veggie based! The menu changes regularly based on the available produce, but I really enjoyed the salad we got, in addition to the tomato feta dish. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a delish meal in the area of the namal!

The atmosphere was pleasant and the service was polite and attentive.
Unfortunately, the food itself was rather average and somewhat flat in terms of flavor.
The main issue, however, is the pricing. The cost is simply not justified by what you get.
One of the dishes included a piece of meat that was extremely small and sliced into very thin strips. Paying around 200 NIS for such a portion felt quite uncomfortable, especially when we were even asked about the desired doneness — despite the meat being so thin that the question felt almost ironic.

Poor management. Like very poor management. They mix reservation times for a number people creating a huge line while at the same time kicking out people earlier from their tables. Food is below medium but pretentious. And of course prices like in Manhattan.
