We reserved a table for two well in advance (as Imperial gets booked quickly!) and met at the bar for our first date. The bar was full, but everyone had their own space where they weren’t sitting on top of anyone else. The cool vibe of the bar and the general atmosphere made the date more fun in addition to the cocktails which were amazing! It’s not cheap, but it’s well worth it. We spent two hours there and afterwards walked along the boardwalk, which is just a few minutes away.

This was our 4th date and we went to what is by far, the best Italian restaurant in the city- Cafe Italia. The portions were very large and the price was well worth it. The setting isn’t very romantic, but the restaurant is pleasant, despite being very busy. The food was fantastic and with a few glasses of wine, we had a great evening.

Elkalai is a little known cafe in Basel Square, which in the evening becomes a romantic spot with only a few tables. I reserved beforehand and we showed up and were sat at a small intimate table, with dim lighting. We each had a few glasses of wine and had a great time! Highly recommended for anyone who’s looking for a romantic place which is a) not crowded and b) unlikely to run into anyone you know.

This was our first date and I wanted to take her to a place where I was confident that none of her dates had ever taken her. The rooftop is frequented by the many different Jerusalem cultures and with a stunning view of the old city, we ordered a bottle of wine and enjoyed good banter in a beautiful setting. The bar is never too packed, which is nice as you don’t have the feeling that you’re sharing your date with other couples.

It was our first date and I wanted a nice place, which doesn’t have the appearance of being too fancy. Mezcal in Florentine was the perfect choice. The vibe is romantic chill and we opted for drinks with some light food. Recommend reserving a table inside, or a spot on the bar in the corner where it has a more cozy feel.

I enjoy painting, and really like the idea of creating something together as a way to connect. I told her to meet me at the tayelet in Tel Aviv around sunset time, we found a nice place to sit overlooking the sea, and I pulled out my mini-watercolor set. We sat there for hours painting, talking, and laughing. It was a fantastic date.

He lives far away from where I am from so we though of a middle point of Tel Aviv. We wanted a quiet romantic place so that can talk and get to know each other- Sarona market was the perfect place. We walked around the market and sat at a quiet Italian restaurant called Pizza Grande.

I had a fun first date with someone in town of Caesarea on Israel's coast. We walked along a wide path by the sea . It looked like a big theater from a long time ago. We sat near the shore and enjoyed coffee together. The setting was beautiful with the sun setting and the waves crashing nearby. We felt like we were in a romantic story. The place made us feel like we were in ancient times, imagining gladiators and exciting shows.

She had never been to Haifa before, so I suggested we watch the sunset from the most beautiful view in the city--at the University of Haifa. We met at the Merkazit Hamifratz train station. From there, we embarked on a cable car ride. As we ascended, her eyes lit up with wonder, and she couldn't help but express her awe at the breathtaking views unfolding before us. The ride itself was memorable, but the highlight was when we got to the top and the beauty of the Haifa bay lay in front of us.

It was a beautiful day at Bat Galim beach, where the sun was shining and the water was crystal clear. We put on our snorkeling gear and dove into the sea, exploring the vibrant underwater world. The colorful fish and coral reefs were breathtaking, and we spent hours swimming and discovering new sights. After our snorkeling adventure, we relaxed on the beach, soaking up the sun and enjoying each other’s company. It was a perfect day, filled with laughter, adventure, and unforgettable memories. 😊
