Agadir bar burger (2 Nachalat Binyamin St.) claims to have one of the city’s finest burgers. It is nothing like a fast food joint, but rather an extremely popular restaurant which is open till very late. Located in the heart of Nachalat Binyamin pedestrian walkway, Agadir offers a comfortable setting, good music and tasty food.

Hamitbahon (18 Rabi Akiva St.) is a small homemade food restaurant in the crossing point of the Nachalat Binyamin pedestrian’ walkway and the Carmel market.

Ben-Gurion St. Tel Aviv

Ben-Gurion's house (17 Ben-Gurion St.) is the former residence of Israel's first Prime Minister. It is a very modest house converted into museum, and has an impressive library that contains thousands of books. The design of the house is interesting, and reflects the simple lifestyle of its former residents which were the common values at the early years of the state of Israel. Alongside Ben-Gurion St., you will see many small outdoor cafes, with people sitting and chatting. All of them serve quality coffee and sandwiches. If you are looking for a nice restaurant in the area, Goocha (171 Dizengoff St.) is probably the place you were looking for.
