Kanta

Top choice in Tel Aviv


On the rooftop of the Gan Ha’Ir (City Garden) shopping mall, trendy Kanta has one of the finest outdoor terraces in Tel Aviv. Surrounded by plants and lit up at night, this urban garden is great for summer, but it also shines in winter, when it gets enclosed and the outdoor heaters take up residence.

Check out culinary delights from renowned Israeli chef Yaron Malka and enjoy cocktails such as Lion in Zion, a strange but refreshing mix of gin, lime and fresh basil. If the mall entrance is closed, it can be reached by climbing the large outdoor steps at the Gan Ha'Ir park from Ben-Gurion Blvd.
