    The place justifies his good reputation. We had some expectations but it was even better. The hostess welcomed us with a “good morning” blessing and a big smile. She gave us the perfect spot for us by our request. The waiter was so fast, kind and asked the right questions- I’m impressed! The food was good - they always make sure we’re having a good time. I asked for more bread and it came in a minute warm and fresh. The price is fair. Go there.

    This place is amazing! Food quality is great, there is a large variety of dishes, all of which are absolutely delicious. This place is located right next to the beach and has a great view. It is usually pretty crowded in there so either reserve a seat or be prepared to wait a little bit before getting in (if you are lucky and it’s not that crowded you can get in right away). (Almost) Every entree comes with an unlimited bred basket (as well as butter, jam, and Nutella), a free drink, and a side salad. Great place, recommended!

    Why 4 and not five stars? Well, a few reasons. Although the service was very good, the food was just okay. I ordered the vegan breakfast, which cost ₪71 for what you see in the pic. I was full at the end of the meal. We asked for another basket of bread and jam and we got one at no charge. The waiters and hostesses were real kind and courteous and cooperated with one another. The dishes were fresh and made with care. The vegan eggs tasted pretty close to what I remember the original to be. So that’s nice. But the rest of the meal was so-so. The hummus side dish wasn’t spiced up, so it tasted “store bought.” The cauliflower in tahini could have been sprinkled with cumin or paprika. The avocado could have been given a little twist if it were seasoned with lime juice rather than the usual lemon juice. The babaganoosh also tasted somewhat regular, like the packages you buy in a store, and could have used oven-baked garlic. A nice new treat was the skordalia, a Greek garlic/almond/potato dip, which I’ve never tasted before - and liked a lot! The coffee was good - but not great. Now - the men’s bathroom was clean and tidy - but stunk! How much does a stick of incense cost? For a breakfast restaurant with a good reputation like Benedict and with such generous customer service, I don’t feel that I got my money’s worth. There was nothing special or unique or even unusual about the flavor of the food. But I admit, I like my food savory. And when I go to a restaurant, I want to taste dishes that I can’t do or just don’t do at home. Another saving grace was the choice of music and the volume it was playing. Cheers!

    This cafe-restaurant offers an interesting menu, based on egg recipes. We tried the Benedict brunch burger, which was delicious and perfectly cooked. The waiters are polite and kind, not all of them understand English. Overall, it's a nice choice..

    Had a great time. The place is packed on Saturday mornings, so we had to wait for 30 minutes before we could sit. The place follows all COVID-19 regulations. Sat at the bar and had a great and friendly service. We had the mushrooms and the roshti for appetizers. The mushrooms were good and so was the cheese on them, but the balsamic vinegar on top was a little off-putting. It was good but the balsamic didn't feel like it contributed. Maybe a balsamic reduction would do a better job. The roshti was great. Crispy on the outside and warm on the inside. Than I ordered the eggs Benedict with ham and bacon. Everything was cooked perfect. The eggs could use a little more salt, but other than that everything was on point. Even the small salad that came with the dish was good and felt super fresh. I wanted to get a Bloody Mary, but the bartender suggested that I take something else. I don't know if he was right, but the cocktails that he made me was great. Gin with mint and lemon. I don't know. It was sour and refreshing and delicious. I definitely recommend this place, but try and make a reservation or come and be ready to wait a little.

    Unfortunately a big disappointment! We arrived specially for breakfast at 12 o'clock. There were three of us , at 12:27 hostess said that a table on the patio in the shade will be somewhere in 30 minutes ... after 30 minutes we were told that there are tables only in the sun, we waited another 10 minutes and decided to sit in the sun to try .. Of course, at 13:20 it is already very hot and when we saw empty tables in the shade we were surprised. Asked our waiter why you have a table in a shade and you can’t transfer us ? “Yes, of course I’ll arrange for you now ... “ another 10 minutes passed but neither the waiter nor the shadow was offered to us, although the tables were still empty! Insulting and not pleasant !!! But when we got some burnt pieces on the beacon and raw burger it was the last straw of disappointment !!! Is not worth it going there !! No pleasure, especially when you drive for an hour especially to visit this place! Sad !!! Some pictures attached 🥲

    Very good!! Loved the food and the drinks. It gets busy, you cannot book a table - make sure to sign up with the host once you get there.

    This is our favorite place to get breakfast and out of all of the Benedicts we've been to this one has to be our favorite because of the atmosphere and the proximity to the beach. They have a great variety of food, I especially love the eggs benedict with spinach and their Banana pancakes. The service wasn't the greatest the past 2 times we have been, but usually when theirs an issue with the food, they are very quick to help make the experience better.

    Nice location, the staff was very friendly. The food was nice but I’ve eaten there before and I had better dishes. The complimentary bread is wonderful!

    Delicious breakfast we had. Besides coffee they have good tea from Althaus as well. Here you get breakfast all day long Thanks to Hanna our waitress for the service.

    The air conditioning was hardly felt, the place was so warm we were all sweating. The food took long to prepare, the waiters were not up to date about the availability of the dishes. Some of the dishes came with missing ingredients. One omelette came with shell pieces in it. The vegan dish did not arrive with the sauce it was supposed to because... the vegan sauce wasn't vegan.

    Food is excellent and the location is prime. but the service is so slow.

  • 4/5 Nir S. 6 months ago on Google
    The food was ok. Nothing to write home about. The atmosphere was pleasant and the waiters were friendly. It took them more than 30 minutes to prepare a takeaway item which was very disappointing. In general: an ok experience

  • 4/5 Brighitte S. 7 months ago on Google
    We were a party of 6. The service was very slow. I ordered the croissant w/shrimp. It arrived when everyone was already in the middle of their meal. The croissant was mushy!!!! It was obvious that it has been heated in the microwave and not in the oven despite the denial! It took them ages to make a new dish. My friends all ordered the Israeli breakfast. The arrival of the dishes for each person arrived in no particular order. It was very weird. Last and not least - the bread that we ordered arrived with jam that has cinnamon. I personally hate it but there are people allergic to it - NO warning whatsoever 😔

    Feels more like a fill up station than what a proper breakfast restaurant. Presentation was way below average and service was horrible. They spilled shakshuka on my sons foot while dropping a knife . Waiters and staff very clumsy in the kitchen too dropping dishes . Noise was deafening.

  • 4/5 Tim B. 1 year ago on Google
    Very unique menu, not a lot of those in that area, the wait time is usually longer then you will be willing to actually wait, so maybe call in advance to check with them. The prices are high, probably because of the location, but make sure your budget for a good meal is at 60-80 nis. I recommend the bacon and cheese pancakes, a good one. The stuff is nice as well, although they had a mistake with 2 meals and forgot them or something. Best restaurant in the beach area that's for sure.

  • 5/5 Vedran J. 1 year ago on Google
    Really good egg benedicts, the royal one with salmon, balanced, not too savory, just a perfect egg Benedict. Breakfast is not to crowded, so perfect for alternative groups gathering, rather than group dinners.

  • 1/5 Saimon Z. 1 year ago on Google
    We had probably the worst experience of any restaurant I've been to. The service was awful, the waitress had no idea what a customer service is about and obviously in the wrong industry. She talked back to us in a very shameful way and even the owner who came out to kick out an older, retired age Ethiopian guy that was trying to ask for money did it in a aggressive, physical way in which he grabbed him and pulled him out and even though you are not supposed to ask for money from any restaurant guests, it was still out of place in the way it was executed and of all things we tried to give him money out of pity and that owner guy didn't care one bit this guy is trying go raise money for food and people are gladly helping him. Just a poor experience that we paid very pricely to have. Go elsewhere, plenty of other, more respectful places to have a better breakfast that will also leave some money in your pocket.

    It's absolutely perfect to know that you can have a decent "breakfast" 24/7. Very decent dishes, very diverse, nice and prompt service! The only downside is that they won't let you pre-order a table! You always have to wait quite a while to be seated! It's annoying!

  • 3/5 Jessica C. 1 year ago on Google
    Food was delicious. Table was sticky and felt unclean. Bathroom was disgusting and no soap. Waitress was nice and quick, but couldn’t find her to pay my bill. After waiting 30 minutes, I got up and paid with the hostess.

  • 4/5 Lina V. 1 year ago on Google
    Mixed feelings. On one side - really delicious food, inside service nice and friendly. On other we've waited half an hour to be seated. At night on cold wind. Cafe clearly was 3/4 empty. Our order was ready in like 10 minutes, so kitchen was not overloaded. No idea why there was no way to let as in. Combine few small tables, instead of making us wait till the big table will be free. We nearly left as vell as many more people we saw over this time. Why the place do not want to get more clients? (p.s. They let me in to warm up earlier than we been seated. Thx!)
