Get your late night salad or sandwich at Johnny Crispy. Opt for the salad bar, which lets you pick your own toppings and add together as many as will fit in the bowl. Alternatively, get a classic sub sandwich, whether you choose an omelet sandwich for breakfast, chicken breast for lunch, or steak for your late night bite. The bread is crispy, the meat is perfectly cooked and the toppings are fresh.
Miznon
Food Stand, Restaurant, Israeli
Miznon is a restaurant by celebrity chef Eyal Shani, and is loved by all Tel Aviv locals. They serve amazing meats and vegetables in warm, delicious pita.

This friendly and energetic atmosphere is perfect for your late night meal.
