Mako Food's February 2025 'most talked-about' restaurant list marks its return after a period of absence, highlighting the dynamic evolution of Tel Aviv's culinary scene. The list reveals a strong trend: the surging popularity of Asian cuisine, particularly Japanese, with four out of the top ten restaurants featuring Asian-inspired menus. This reflects a broader shift in Israeli dining preferences. A significant newcomer, ZO, opened by Yaki Kabir and Dr. Amir Zerah on Rothschild Boulevard, exemplifies this trend with its stylish, Instagrammable setting and sushi-centric menu. The list also includes established restaurants adapting to changing tastes. George & John, a previously acclaimed establishment, has undergone a major chef change, replacing Tamer Tal with Alon Dagan and Tal Suximi from Mansoura restaurant, resulting in a revamped menu. The inclusion of at least one highly-rated hamburger restaurant emphasizes the diversity of Tel Aviv's food scene, showcasing both innovative newcomers and established restaurants responding to evolving culinary preferences. The article mentions in passing that the list also includes Asaf Granit's first kosher restaurant and a Thai restaurant by Yossi Shtarit, further demonstrating the breadth of culinary styles represented.
