Focaccia bar is one of those places with a little bit of everything: salads, sandwiches, pizzas, pastas, main course. It's not kosher.

MoreFocaccia bar is one of those places with a little bit of everything: salads, sandwiches, pizzas, pastas, main course. It's not kosher. The salads weren't specially good, but the focaccias and the Philly Cheese steak were very good! Portions are good, prices are also good. We paid 100 nis per person including entrees, one soda each and one main dish. Ambiance not bad, as well as the service. It's not the best but a good option for Shabbat!

The fries and peice of meat were soaked in oil and so heavy looking. I should of sent the meal back! Had high expectations but really!, How can the cooks send the meal out looking this bad and tasting like that? If I wanted a greasy meal I should of just went to some no name falalfel restaurant. Even my date said ‘something in this place changed’ to bad I don’t have an image to upload

MoreWe've been here many times for lunch. We enjoy the foccaccio very much, the best we've ever had, large and made in a stone oven. This is the first time we've eaten breakfast there. The coffee was like boiled milk, and also the very nice waitress took it and offered to have it made again, it came lukewarm and was definitely turkish coffee and not cafe afuch. The eggs were the tiniest eggs I've ever seen, the salad was uninteresting, and the dips looked ok, although I only eat butter & jam. The foccaccio was tasty but small. Overall, not the most exciting Israeli breakfast.
