As classic as the Hemingway novel of the same name, this Old Man is still at the top of its game. Spacious enough for dozens of waiters to serve hundreds of people, its terrace overlooks the sea in southern Jaffa. Huge portions of fish or seafood come with 20 or so small mezze, such as falafel balls and hummus.
If you still have room, end the feast with Arabic tea, coffee and cake. Though not in the centre of Jaffa, it is well worth the cab ride or 10-minute walk from Jaffa Port. There is another branch on Jaffa Port, but the original on Kedem St is still superior.
