MoreMy wife and I decided to sit down here for lunch and what a mistake that ended up being. We were shown promptly to a table by the host at the front but that's about the end of the good part. Young immature waitresses never came to our table to give a menu cause there were to busy chatting and laughing among themselves and hugging each other like it was their own private get together. Clearly customers waiting didn't matter at all to them. We eventually flagged one down a waitress like a taxi who then told us "wait a moment". We eventually got hold of one who took our order but then spent the next 10 minutes chatting again and hugging her fellow waitresses without even taking our order to the kitchen ! ....15 minutes later we finally got hold of a manager who agreed to deal with the waitresses and get the kitchen to give our meal some priority. We thought that was the end of the bad part until one of the waitresses made the rude and disastrous mistake of coming over to pick an argument with us for reporting our experience to the manager. BOY did that backfire on her ! We stood up instantly, cancelled our order and walked out !!! And as we did she begged us to WAIT again to talk to her manager ! HAHAHAHA bad move and sadly hilarious. Hopefully they deducted our cancelled food order from her wage. Read the many other reviews about the circus of terrible service at this Cafe Rimon and decide carefully. Only people who like being ignored by young inexperienced waitresses who prefer to socialise between themselves rather than serving customers should ever risk eating there. !

We chose this as it was close to our hotel. We had walked miles during the day and not a huge number of nearby places were open as it was the end of Yom Kippur. As this is a Kosher establishment we had to decide whether to have meat or dairy before entering....
MoreWe chose this as it was close to our hotel. We had walked miles during the day and not a huge number of nearby places were open as it was the end of Yom Kippur. As this is a Kosher establishment we had to decide whether to have meat or dairy before entering. The lady at the entrance was brusque and not very helpful. They only served wine by the bottle that night despite glasses of wine being on the menu. We had meat which was Ok but not really to our taste. The beef portion was huge. It was the most expensive and least enjoyable meal during our stay.

We had just one night in Jerusalem and walk in because of the very nice outdoor seating. The seating was quick and the service friendly. We had a Golan Heights riesling wine that was very good. Timon offers a lot of half bottles. Food choices were very good and my who is pescatarian...

Timon offers a lot of half bottles. Food choices were very good and my who is pescatarian had a lot of choices. Food arrived in reasonable time and was excellent. On really negative was that it was very difficult to get a bill. Took about 15 minutes after we started asking.
