Benny the Fisherman - Tel Aviv Port

Baba Yaga was founded in 2008 out of a great passion for food. The restaurant is located close to the sea, in a unique stone building alongside a pastoral and magical garden. From the day the restaurant opened, we have had a goal to maintain a high culinary standard using only fresh ingredients, to provide personal service, and to surround those who come to the restaurant with a romantic atmosphere that captures the magic of Tel Aviv. The highly talented chef, Maria Pisnatz, winner of the reality show “Royal Chef”, has created our amazing menu, combining juicy meats, seafood and fresh fish, inspired by Spanish, French, Russian and Israeli cuisines. Together with our robust menu, we are proud of our “Russian culinary corner”, a unique pearl in the Israeli culinary landscape. It will lead you on a journey to your childhood memories and will remind you of the tastes of home: classic tasting Borscht, red caviar and don’t leave before you taste our glorious star meal: Varniki filled with potatoes and fried onions with butter or the sweet version: dumplings with sweet cherries, caramel sauce with a touch of sour cream. Baba Yaga will wake up all of your senses and will offer a unique experience for all visitors. Our private halls are the perfect place for meeting with friends or business conferences; our live shows include delightful jazz musicians, homage to French Chansons or the sounds of the Spanish guitar. During Sukkot and Passover holidays we host a jazz & wine festival full of surprises, tastes and much more. We are always reinventing ourselves, researching the hidden culinary world and combining fragrances, aromas, textures and surprising tastes. You’re more than welcome to join us. here… it’s all about passion.

The design of the place is intimate, warm and inviting with furniture that combines retro and modern classics against the background of the relaxing view of the Mediterranean Sea. We make sure to renew ourselves and strive as high as possible in order to provide you with an experience no less than perfect. We will present you a menu with a wide variety of seafood and fish straight from our fisherman father, you will find exciting additions and surprising combinations of southern Italy and France at Villa Mare along with classic dishes from our chef's childhood and all combined with a world-wide alcoholic bar that will make your visit to the restaurant enjoyable and unforgettable.
