Cafe Cafe Jerusalem



While my mum was visiting it was my nephew's 18th birthday,  he had been studying for his matriculation exams so unfortunately we did not see him that often but we made sure we would meet up for his birthday in between his exams.

His dad, my brother, thought Cafe Cafe in the Center 1 Mall would be a good place to meet up as it was close by to the bus station for mum and I to catch our bus back to my home.

Cafe Cafe is a modern kosher lemahadrin restaurant with a vast menu which includes Israeli breakfast, croissants, sandwiches with cheese ans pesto, selection of huge salads, pizzas, pastas, quiches, gnocchi and bagel toast.

As we met up with my nephew in the middle of the afternoon we decided to choose a couple of cakes to share from a delicious assortment of cakes my sister-in-law and nephew had a cold drink while my brother, mum and I each had a tasty cup of espresso coffee. Cheese cake and coffee, can it get any better?

Lasagna, Dizengoff St. Tel Aviv



I had seen this restaurant advertised and was waiting for the opportunity to try it out, I simply love Italian food and especially enjoy lasagna.

Lasagna is a kosher dairy restarant in the heart of Dizengoff Street offering a variety of dishes including pasta dishes, salads and special sadwiches.  

My husband and I decided to go for the lasgna with eggplant. We were told it would take twenty-five minutes as all the food is prepared fresh. It was absolutely delicious and well worth the wait of course the espresso coffee we had after the meal made the meal complete.

Cafe Del Mar, Netanya

One of my favourite places is this kosher mehadrin restaurant which is on the Netanya promenade with a spectacular view of the Mediterranean Sea. It is opposite the elevator that goes down to the beach. I thought that it would be a great place to bring my mum who was visiting Israel, so we met my friend and had a lovely afternoon with good food and coffee.

Seating is outside under a large circular wooden frame or along the promenade. The atmosphere is reminiscent of a French cafe in one of the coastal cities in southern France.

It is a full dairy menu, you can have breakfast with a delicious cup of coffee at Cafe Del Mar.The menu offers a good selection of fish and dairy pasta dishes with many salads to choose from. You can finish your meal with a scruptious cake and a coffee, tea or cold drink.

The beautiful atmosphere, satisfying food and delicious coffee with the superb view of the sea....delightful!
