The Container, Mediterranean restaurant in Jaffa Port, Israel.
The Container offers seasonal seafood and Mediterranean fusion dishes inside a former warehouse positioned directly at the Jaffa Port dock. Large industrial windows frame views of traditional fishing boats that still work these waters.
The building started as an industrial warehouse serving the port and later became a modern dining space. Its conversion kept some of the original structural elements visible throughout the interior.
The dining space draws together North African, Middle Eastern, and Italian cooking methods on one menu, reflecting how people in this region have always cooked together. You taste this mixture of influences in each dish served at your table.
The restaurant sits in Warehouse 2 within the Old Jaffa Port area and welcomes diners from midday through late evening. The space fills up during peak hours, so arriving early or booking ahead helps secure a table.
Artistic pieces hang throughout the dining area, mixing industrial port surroundings with contemporary art in an unexpected way. Through the large windows you can watch fishermen unload their daily catch directly at the adjacent dock.
