Too much salt

Many reviews complain about slowly staff which is pushing for tip. I can not confirm this. The staff was not pushy, very friendly and it took them 20 minutes for the Labneh what seems ok.

I never tried Labneh before and read they offer a great one so i tried it. Unfortunately it was way, way too much salt. Do not get me wrong, i usually use lots of salt when cooking, more than most people, but this was too much and unfortunately i could not finish the meal. I do not know if it is always like this but i won't try again. Sorry :/

Pros: Location, Nice staff

Cons: Too much salt

אוכל ושירות בינוניים

המקום והאווירה נחמדים מאוד, נעים לשבת במקום. האוכל פשוט מאוד, לא מיוחד ולא חדשני. השירות סביר. הקוקטיילים ברמה מאוד מאוד חובבנית. #Veganuary

Pros: אווירה

Cons: אוכל בינוני, שירות בינוני, קוקטיילים ברמה נמוכה

Must visit in Jaffo

UPD summer 2023:
I visited several times since my last review. Food was good but service was really bad every single time. And anyway I was charged for the service I didn’t get in a very pushy way.
========
Very nice place located in a quiet neighborhood aside from the main streets. Lots of tables indoor and outdoor, a bit slow but friendly service, delicioussss food. Would love to come back!

Hit or Miss for me

A lot of things on the menu I find myself thinking “I could have made this at home, tastier, and for a lot less,” which is not a fun feeling. The michaela sandwich, the cheese and beet salad, the pasta, the burger… just to name a few… the cookies…
But I go here specifically for certain dishes and they always hit the spot. Michelangelo has the best cashew labaneh in TLV I think. And their onion leek boreka is the stuff of hungry daydreams. The cafe itself is an excellent place to sit, chat, study, hang out. Excellent environment!

Laid back cafe with great food

We stopped here for a coffee and maybe cake during an afternoon walk in Jaffa, but ended up eating a second lunch as the menu had some very exciting dishes that we couldn't resist. We had the 8 hour cabbage and the roasted kohlrabi, both were excellent, especially the cabbage.

The venue is lovely as well, on a quiet street with nice outdoor seating. Looking back to our trip to Tel Aviv this must have been my favourite.

Had the best vegan food of my life here

We ordered the lebanese breakfast meze that came with falafels , hummus , tahini , sweet dish made of dates , salad. It was a good amount of food for 2 people.

I can’t forget the taste still.

Pros: Entirely vegan place, Best fresh baked bread, The breakfast meze was fabulous .

Incredible value in a homey atmosphere

Super casual and relaxed atmosphere for delicious vegan food! I had Jaffa’s Breakfast - costing of an omelette, salad, bread and multiple dips to sample. The spelt bread was so incredibly fresh and the array of tasty dips were a huge highlight for me. Bonus treat reminded me of a dense, chewy doughnut. Right around the corner from my hotel and it’s going to be hard to branch out during my time in Tel Aviv with this go-to option so close by.

Pros: Entirely vegan, Good portion, Lovely atmosphere

Cons: Quite busy mid-day, Understaffed during the brunch rush

Great vegan cafe with unique menu

Really enjoyed brunch at michelangelo cafe, not just to be out post-covid but also because of the great food. We ordered the shakshuka (absolutely great tomato sauce with special vegan egg-substitute) and scrambled eggs breakfast.

Godsend!

This cafe is wonderful. We came here several times we liked it so much. The Spinach Cigars with Cashew cheese and Tzatziki were delicious, and the Mushroom Kebabs w Freekeh and charred tomatoes is divine. The freekeh is like a delicious risotto almost. The Cauliflower patties and Jaffa Breakfast were also super yummy. Love this place.

Ok food but nothing special

The food was ok, we had the mushroom burger and was a bit dry, it could have been a bit nicer, also the service they could smile a bit! Otherwise a nice place

Great vegan restaurant off the beaten track in Jaffa

Followed happy cow recommendations to find this restaurant just outside the centre of Jaffa. Followed google maps to locate this Rustic feeling place. I was welcomed by very friendly staff who were attentive and helpful throughout. I enjoyed the scrambled tofu sandwich and followed this up with tahini balls with caramelised banana smothered in hot chocolate which was delicious. Glad I made the effort to eat in Michelangelo’s - great wee find!

Pros: Lovely food, Very friendly , Cool vibe

Exceptionally delicious 100% vegan offerings!

I had the pleasure of dining at Cafe Michaelangelo this evening, and had a great experience that I would recommend to all. The decor is quite homey, and the wait staff made me feel very much at home. I had a glass of red wine whose taste far exceeded my expectations. For a starter, I had the cauliflower cakes which were exceedingly delicious, and for the main dish, I had the kale and quinoa bowl, which was also amazing! Highly recommended for vegans and anyone who wants fresh and healthy food.

Pros: Great food, Friendly wait staff, Lots of choices

Cons: none, none, none

Cafe Michaelangelo

I visited the place for my birthday (it is recommended to book table in advance otherwise there is only room at the bar).
We ordered the kebab skewers which were amazing, they came on a freaky bed, excellent seasoning and incredible tahini on top, plus we ordered the mushroom risotto which was a bit bland and also a juicy asparagus salad with green beans and other vegetables that came with a smoked eggplant sauce.
we also took the ginger and agave drink that was so refreshing and tasty
For dessert, the bartender suggested that we take the lemon pie, I am usually not a big fan of lemon pie but it tasted nice and my meal companion enjoyed it even more as a lemon pie lover. The atmosphere in the place is relaxed and peaceful and also the service was lovely.

Pros: lots of vegan option, kebab skewers are amazing, great ginger and agave drink

Cons: bit expensive, not a lot of sitting tables
