Going strong for nearly three decades, Barbunia is older than most of Tel Aviv’s residents. The no-frills, paper tablecloths add to the charm of this fish restaurant. All mains come with a seemingly endless stream of salads, fried vegetables, bread basket and hummus. Sea bream or mixed fried shrimps and calamari are highly recommended, washed down with a local beer.
