LoveAt

28Dec09

I’m not usually a fan of chain cafes and often like the small, lesser-known places but that’s not the case when it comes to LoveAt. With two locations that are very prominently located in Tel Aviv–they both have very different atmospheres. I prefer the one on Nachalat Binyamin. I have spent hours sitting in the back garden area catching up with friends or in my own little world on the computer. They have an extensive menu of salads, sandwiches, paninis and such. I get the chicken with tahini salad with tofu instead of chicken. So many different flavors of deliciousness. If you go during lunchtime, they have a “business lunch” that includes a drink and starter. I once had the veggie soup as a starter which was good but a bit too filling for me. I prefer the veggie sticks although I find it very strange that it’s cucumbers, carrots and beets with a peanuty sauce. Beets? WHY? Random. Anyway, everyone is very nice and friendly there, and nobody gives you a hard time for sitting there for many hours. I heard the upstairs is great as well. Nachalat Binyamin is quite the people watching street, so it’s fun to sit out front and get distracted by the cast of characters walking by. The location on Dizengoff and Jabotinsky is much smaller and less room to sit and spread out and I don’t think the food is quite as good.
