Fodor's Expert Review Whale

The husband-and-wife chef-owners of Whale ran their previous restaurant in Eilat's industrial area for years, drawing foodies from all over the country. In late 2015 they relaunched in the tourist area, and Whale quickly became one of Israel's top seafood restaurants. Browse the cookbooks on the shelves while you wait for your order. Salt-baked beetroot salad or zucchini blossoms makes a nice starter, and for a main course, try the shrimpburger, the only menu item that migrated from the former restaurant. For dessert, don't miss the salted caramel tart with ice cream.
