1. Herbert Samuel Herzliya — The Ritz-Carlton, HaShunit Street, Herzliya Marina

The best cooking in the city, in the Ritz-Carlton on the marina, and kosher.

₪₪₪₪ Splurge

Herbert Samuel is the kitchen on the ground floor of the Ritz-Carlton, and it is the clearest answer to the question of where the best food in Herzliya is. It is also kosher, which in a restaurant at this level in Israel is rarer than it sounds.

The cooking is modern Mediterranean built on grilled meat and fish, served in a dining room that looks out over the marina. It is the restaurant the business district uses for the meal that matters, which means it is at its busiest and best on a weekday evening.

It is expensive, and it does not pretend otherwise. For a special occasion, or for an observant visitor who has run out of serious kosher options on this coast, it is worth it.

Good to know: Being inside the hotel, it keeps hotel hours around Shabbat and the festivals — check before you build an evening around it.

2. Sebastian — Maskit Street, Herzliya Pituach

The Pituach restaurant with an actual room and an actual crowd, rather than a view doing the work.

₪₪₪ Upmarket

Sebastian sits on Maskit in the business district, away from the water, and has become the default grown-up dinner in Herzliya for people who live here rather than for people staying at a hotel.

The cooking is Mediterranean and bistro-ish, the bar is a real bar, and the room has the noise and the turnover that the seafront places mostly lack on a weekday. It is the sort of restaurant that works equally for a business dinner at eight and a long table at ten.

Because it is inland, it is also considerably easier to park at than anything on the marina.

Good to know: Book for Thursday and Friday nights. Midweek you can usually walk in, which is the best time to eat here anyway.

3. Nammos — HaTsedef Street, Herzliya Marina

Japanese cooking on the marina — the glossiest table in Herzliya.

₪₪₪₪ Splurge

Nammos sits on the Herzliya marina and does Japanese-inspired food — sushi, raw fish, the grill — in a room built for being seen in.

It is the Herzliya equivalent of the Tel Aviv port restaurants: the cooking is good, the fish is handled properly, and a significant part of what you are paying for is the setting and the crowd. On a summer evening with the boats behind you, that is a reasonable thing to pay for.

It is at its best for dinner and at its most expensive on a Friday.

Good to know: Ask for a table on the outside edge rather than inside the room — the marina is the reason to come.

4. MeatBar — Ha-Sadna'ot Street, Herzliya Pituach

A proper steakhouse in the workshops district, and the local answer to a serious piece of meat.

₪₪₪ Upmarket

MeatBar is on Ha-Sadna'ot, the small industrial street tucked into Pituach, and is the straightforward steakhouse answer in Herzliya: aged beef, a grill, and not much ceremony around it.

It draws the business district at lunch and a mixed local crowd in the evening. The room is unfussy and the focus is entirely on the cuts, which is exactly what you want from this kind of restaurant.

If you want a steakhouse with a view instead, the marina has them. This is the one to choose if you care more about the meat.

Good to know: The business lunch is where the value is — the same kitchen at a fraction of the evening bill.

5. La Vaca Loca — Medinat HaYehudim Street, Herzliya Pituach

Argentinian grill on the main business-park street, and a Herzliya fixture.

₪₪₪ Upmarket

La Vaca Loca sits on Medinat HaYehudim, the spine of the Herzliya Pituach business park, and does the South American grill: cuts over fire, chimichurri, the full asado idea rather than a steakhouse menu with an Argentinian flourish.

It has been there long enough to be an institution in the tech district, which tells you most of what you need to know about the lunch trade. Evenings are quieter and easier.

It is a good choice for a group — the format suits sharing and large tables far better than a tasting menu does.

Good to know: Go with more people than you need to. The cuts are generous and the menu is built around a table ordering across it.

6. Calata 15 — Medinat HaYehudim Street, Herzliya Pituach

The Italian in the business district — pasta and a wine list, not a pizzeria.

₪₪₪ Upmarket

Calata 15 is the Italian restaurant on Medinat HaYehudim, and it is the grown-up end of Italian cooking rather than the family-pizza end: pasta made properly, a wine list, and a dining room rather than a counter.

Like everything on this street it runs two different businesses — a busy weekday lunch for the surrounding offices, and a slower, better evening service.

It is a sensible choice when half the table wants something lighter than a steakhouse and nobody wants to drive to the marina.

Good to know: Evening is the better sitting here; at lunch the room belongs to the office crowd and the kitchen is working at speed.

7. Lola Martin — Abba Eban Boulevard, Herzliya Pituach

Fish and brasserie cooking on Abba Eban, near the hotels and the tech headquarters.

₪₪₪ Upmarket

Lola Martin sits on Abba Eban Boulevard, the road that runs through the heart of the Pituach business district past Publica and the technology campuses.

It works as a brasserie: fish and seafood at the centre of the menu, a wide enough range around it that nobody at the table is stuck, and a room that handles both a business lunch and a couple at dinner without feeling wrong for either.

Its position makes it the obvious walk-to dinner if you are staying in the business district rather than on the seafront.

Good to know: Walkable from the Pituach business hotels, which is rarer here than it should be — most good Herzliya dinners involve a car.

8. Greco — Abba Eban Boulevard, Herzliya Pituach

Greek mezze and grilled fish — the easiest big-table meal in Pituach.

₪₪₪ Upmarket

Greco does the Greek taverna format on Abba Eban: a long run of mezze to start, grilled fish and meat after, and ouzo if the evening is going that way.

The format is the appeal. It is the restaurant to pick when you have eight people with eight different ideas about dinner, because everyone eats off the middle of the table and nobody has to commit.

It is part of a chain rather than a one-off, and it is consistent in the way chains are.

Good to know: Order fewer mezze than the waiter suggests. They arrive in volume and the fish is the better half of the meal.

9. Tandoori Herzliya — Maskit Street, Herzliya Pituach

The long-running Indian restaurant in Pituach, and still the best curry on this coast.

₪₪₪ Upmarket

Tandoori on Maskit is part of a small Israeli group that has been cooking North Indian food here for decades, long before anyone else in the country took it seriously.

The menu is the familiar tandoor-and-curry canon done properly, with enough vegetarian cooking on it that it has always been a reliable option for a mixed table. It is not reinventing anything and does not need to.

In a city where almost every restaurant is Mediterranean, a steakhouse or sushi, it is the obvious change of direction.

Good to know: The lunch buffet, when it runs, is the cheapest good meal in the Pituach business district.

10. Benedict Herzliya — HaEtzel Street, Herzliya

Breakfast at any hour, which in Israel is a genuinely useful thing to have.

₪₪ Mid-range

Benedict built a chain on one idea: serve breakfast all day and most of the night. The Herzliya branch on HaEtzel does exactly that.

It is the right answer to several awkward problems at once — a late arrival from the airport, children who will not wait until dinner, a Friday morning with nothing else open, or a group that cannot agree on anything. The Israeli breakfast, the eggs and the pastry basket are all competent and arrive quickly.

Nobody goes to Benedict for a revelation. Everybody ends up there eventually.

Good to know: It is at its quietest mid-afternoon, which is when breakfast here is most pleasant and least of a queue.

11. Pozza Pizza Bar — Ben Gurion Boulevard, central Herzliya

Neapolitan pizza in the town centre, at town-centre prices.

₪₪ Mid-range

Pozza is on Ben Gurion Boulevard in central Herzliya, away from Pituach entirely, and does Neapolitan-style pizza from a proper oven.

It is a reminder that there are two Herzliyas. Five minutes inland from the marina the bills halve, the rooms get smaller and noisier, and the food is aimed at people who live on the street rather than at expense accounts.

For a casual dinner, or for feeding a family without a ₪600 bill, this is the better side of the city to be on.

Good to know: Ben Gurion and Sokolov are where central Herzliya eats — worth a walk if you have only seen Pituach.

12. Café Gan Sipur — Ben Zion Michaeli Street, central Herzliya

A neighbourhood café near the park, with vegan cooking and room for children.

₪₪ Mid-range

Gan Sipur sits near the park in central Herzliya, by the station side of town, and is a café in the Israeli sense: breakfast, salads, sandwiches, cake, and people sitting for two hours over one coffee.

It cooks properly for vegans and vegetarians rather than offering one grudging dish, which is still not universal here, and the position by the park makes it one of the easier places in the city to take small children.

It is the opposite of the marina in every respect, and that is the reason to include it.

Good to know: Weekday mornings are calm. On Friday the whole neighbourhood is here and the wait is real.

Frequently asked questions

Where should you eat in Herzliya if you only have one dinner?

Herbert Samuel at the Ritz-Carlton if you want the best food in the city and do not mind the price, and Sebastian on Maskit if you want somewhere with more life to it. Both are a short drive from anywhere in Pituach. If the point of the evening is the sea rather than the plate, the marina restaurants are the right call instead — those have their own guide.

Which Herzliya restaurants are kosher?

Herbert Samuel Herzliya runs a kosher kitchen, as do the restaurants inside the kosher-certified hotels. A good deal of the Pituach dining scene is not kosher, including several of the best-known marina places. Certification changes hands and lapses, so check the current teudah with the restaurant rather than relying on any list, ours included.

What is the difference between eating in Herzliya Pituach and central Herzliya?

Pituach is where the money is: the marina, the seafront and the business park on Medinat HaYehudim, Maskit and Abba Eban, which between them hold almost every restaurant a visitor has heard of. Central Herzliya, around Sokolov Street and Ben Gurion Boulevard, is an ordinary Israeli high street — falafel, pizza, a few good neighbourhood places and much lower prices. Both are in this guide.

Do you need to book in Herzliya?

For dinner at the marina and the better Pituach restaurants on a Thursday, Friday or Saturday night, yes, and a week ahead in summer. The business-district restaurants are the opposite case: packed at lunch on a weekday with the tech crowd and quiet in the evening, so lunch is the sitting that needs a booking there.

Where do you eat in Herzliya with children?

Benedict on HaEtzel, which serves breakfast all day and into the night and is unbothered by small children, Pozza Pizza Bar on Ben Gurion, and Café Gan Sipur near the park, which is set up for families. The marina is also easy with children in daylight, because they can be walked along the quay between courses.

Is Herzliya expensive to eat in?

Pituach is among the more expensive places to eat in Israel — the marina and the Ritz-Carlton price like central Tel Aviv, and the business district prices for expense accounts. Central Herzliya is not: the falafel, hummus and pizza on and around Sokolov and Ben Gurion cost what they do anywhere else in the country, and are a five-minute drive from the marina.
