salmon should never be stiff, but everything else was quite good, with an especially rich salad bar and dessert bar. Breakfast also very good . Great value for price here!

MoreOur guide brought our tour group to Ramat Rachel for lunch. It was a large self-serve cafeteria operation that offered a wide selection of hot entrees, salad, soup and desserts. Price-wise, value was perhaps better for the large, full meals. But if you only wanted a light lunch the prices were high for a few select items, e.g. just a small salad and small bowl of soup cost $15 USD. The facility was nice, clean and well-lit.
Less“a cafeteria style restaurant, but still... pretty daggon good!”
“Good Buffet ”
Great Buffet with lots of variety but very crowded when we visited. Still I recommend it highly. Your patience with the crowd is worth the wait and it moves very much faster than looking would indicate and prices are reasonable and the food is excellent.
