Machneyuda

Yes-this restaurant is loud. Yes-the staff are a bit quirky. Yes-you're a bit jammed in. Take all that with a grain of salt because if you don't try and eat here, you're really missing out! We went recently as a group of four mates. I booked online on the off chance we secured a reservation; and, as luck would have it, we did. We sat at a cosy table on the street level and the music was pumping. The atmosphere was quite electric and each of us felt like it was a cool spot to be. The crowd was heavily local, which is also a sign of a well-regarded establishment. Our waitress was excellent. She knew a lot about the endemic wines of Israel and also helped us with some food recommendations. In the end, two had a NY steak, one a sea bass and one mushroom risotto. All meals were generous in portion and extremely tasty. The wines and beers we drank were also excellent. In all, our meal was roughly 1000 Shekels combined (approx. $AUD390.00). Whilst this may seem steep, prices in the whole region are expensive and this restaurant is one of the more highly rated restaurants in Israel. We felt that price, together with the experience of eating in the restaurant, offered good value for money.
