6 editor picks across Israel.
6 food markets worth the trip across Israel, editor-ranked by TableJourney. All Israel guides.
Carmel Market on HaCarmel Street in Tel Aviv is the city's largest market, stretching from Magen David Square through spice, fish and produce stalls.
TipGo before 09:00 for the best fish and produce; by afternoon the stalls thin out and prices climb slightly.
Sarona Market on Kalman Magen Street in Tel Aviv is Israel's largest indoor food market, with more than 90 businesses inside a restored Templer settlement.
TipCome hungry and share; the chef-run stalls sell small plates meant for grazing across several counters.
Levinsky Market on Levinsky Street in Tel Aviv grew from a Thessaloniki immigrant quarter into a strip of spice shops, delis and Balkan eateries.
TipVisit between 08:00 and 11:00 when the spice shops are fully stocked and the bakeries are freshest.
Jaffa's Flea Market, Shuk HaPishpeshim, spreads across Olei Zion Street in Tel Aviv-Yafo with antiques, kilim rugs and market-side eateries.
TipAvoid Fridays if you want to browse calmly; midday on a quieter weekday is when vendors have time to bargain.
The Tel Aviv Port Market fills Hangar 12 at Namal Tel Aviv with farmers produce stalls, cheese counters, bakeries and a wine and beer bar daily.
TipGo on a weekday morning for the freshest produce; weekends bring a much bigger crowd through the hangar.
Hatikva Market on HaTikva Street in Tel Aviv has served the Yemenite and Iraqi neighbourhood since the 1930s with produce, meat and spice stalls.
TipSkip the tourist crowds of Carmel Market for this one; it is almost entirely local shoppers and worker's lunch counters.
