Shila

Tel Aviv, Israel

The name ‘Shila’ is on the tip of the tongues of Tel Avivians in the know. Sharon Cohen has made sure of it. Referring to Shila as ‘the bar with the best food or the restaurant with the hottest bar’ one thing’s for sure, it’s a fun-time spot with a gastronomic heart that’s garnered a trendy crowd of regulars over its ten years in service. Honing in on fish and seafood is what Cohen’s known for. Served raw, grilled or à la plancha, expect a modern taste of the Med through pretty plates like shrimp carpaccio with smashed tomatoes, za’atar and almonds. Lighter salads and pasta lead for lunch. Growing in size simpatico to it reputation, it’s split over two dining rooms – separated by glass partitions – a bar, plus outdoor space – an ideal spot to get stuck in for the evening.
