Etiquette
Many restaurants are kosher: meat and dairy are not mixed, and some close on shabbat (Friday evening to Saturday evening).
Hummus is shared and scooped with bread, not with a fork.
The Friday evening meal (shabbat) is an important family moment, book reservations in advance.
Regime
One of the most vegetarian- and vegan-friendly cuisines in the world: hummus, falafel, sabich and salads are naturally meat-free.
Tel-Aviv est réputée capitale vegan avec une multitude de restaurants dédiés.
Dairy restaurants (halavi) offer plenty of meat-free dishes.
