Levinsky Spice Market

Tel Aviv


Beloved by celebrity chefs, this aromatic market is a mini-neighbourhood of pantries and stores. Established in the 1920s by Balkan immigrants, this is where local cooks come to source ingredients and is a great place to pick up fresh herbs and spices, dried fruit, stuffed chilli peppers, olive oil, cheese and other goodies – particularly if you feel like avoiding the bustle of Carmel Market.
