# The King's List — Tel Aviv **Messa** stands as Tel Aviv's premier French-Mediterranean destination, commanding the refined dining scene from its Sarona location with haute cuisine at the highest price point. Pastel's Levantine mastery at the HaQirya location near the Tel Aviv Museum of Art offers an equally sophisticated alternative within the city's most exclusive dining tier.

How the order is decided

Tables with three or more member reviews rank on their King's Score — a trust-weighted 0–100 built from real diners and never from us — and always sit above the unreviewed field. Everything still In contention is held in a provisional, stable order until the Court weighs in. Arrows show movement since last week. Featured tables are labelled and never outrank an earned score.
