Eating and drinking in Sde Dov
Restaurants, cafés, bars and bakeries: by lot and promenade, before there are names.
Updated
A district of 16,000 homes is planned with about 125,000 sqm of commerce. Much of it is ground floor: colonnades along the residential lots in Eshkol, a two-kilometre beach promenade in Central, and a neighbourhood high street in North. That is where the district's restaurants and cafés will open. This page tracks those units by lot, before any of them has a tenant.
There is no invented business on this page and no rating. Every row in the table is a unit on a real lot, with the uses the plan allows, an opening window derived from the construction schedule, and a source for every number. When a tenant signs, the row gets a name, and the address stays.

Who opens first
Opening order follows occupancy order: Eshkol's colonnades open with the first buildings, Central's promenade arrives with the hotels and homes around it, and North's neighbourhood retail comes last. Anyone looking for a restaurant or café site should look first at the Eshkol lots already under construction (101, 103, 107, 110, 111) and at the 300-series lots with approved design plans.
Common questions
- Are there any restaurants or cafés in Sde Dov yet?
- No. Nothing in Sde Dov is open yet. The district is under construction, first occupancy in Eshkol is expected around 2029, and build-out runs to around 2035. No restaurant, café, bar or bakery has signed a lease that has been made public, so this site lists the units the plan permits rather than venues that do not exist.
- When will restaurants open in Sde Dov?
- Opening follows occupancy, complex by complex. The Eshkol colonnades sit under the first residential buildings and are expected to trade from around 2029–2031. The Central beach promenade arrives with the hotels and homes around it, roughly 2031–2035. The North high street is last, from about 2032.
- Where exactly will Sde Dov's restaurants be?
- In three places, all fixed by plan TA/4444. Ground-floor colonnades running under the residential blocks in Eshkol, on lots 101–111. A two-kilometre beach promenade in Central, alongside the five-hotel strip. And a neighbourhood high street in North. Together the district is planned with about 125,000 sqm of commerce.
- Can I lease a restaurant unit in Sde Dov?
- Ground-floor commercial space is held by the developer of each lot, not by the municipality, so an approach goes to the lot's developer. The lots furthest along are the Eshkol ones already in construction — 101, 103 and 111 — and the 300-series lots with approved design plans.
- What is a colonnade unit?
- A commercial ground floor built into a residential building, set back behind a covered arcade so the shopfront has shade and the pavement stays walkable. In Sde Dov the colonnades run under the Eshkol residential lots, which is why the same lot number appears as both a home and a shopfront.
- Will there be kosher restaurants in Sde Dov?
- Unknown, and this site will not guess. Kashrut is a decision each operator makes with the rabbinate once a lease is signed, and no lease has been made public. When a venue opens with a certification, the record here will carry it.
