★★★★★ 5.0 Sjobbbing Sabala34 · Jan 2026

This breakfast spot is an absolute gem, especially if you’re an avocado lover. From the moment you walk in, the atmosphere feels warm and inviting—casual enough for a relaxed morning, but thoughtfully put together so it still feels special. It’s the kind of place where you can take your time, enjoy your coffee, and ease into the day. The real standout, though, is their avocado sandwich. It’s clear they put care into every element. The bread is perfectly toasted—crispy on the outside, soft and airy on the inside—providing the ideal base. The avocado is fresh, creamy, and generously layered, not mashed into oblivion but spread just enough to keep its texture and flavor front and center. It’s seasoned beautifully, striking that perfect balance where the avocado’s natural richness shines with

In an area totally unfamiliar to us and it was breakfast time. Had a quick look on google, saw the five stars and thought, ‘let’s give this a try’. Not disappointed at all. Had breakfast, tapas, fresh breads salad and poached eggs. Latte and fresh orange juice. Everything was so nice and presented well. Our server was very sweet and attentive. It was busy inside so we sat out. A little bit warm but we had shade provided with large parasols. Would definitely recommend for food quality, for service, for clean bathrooms. Great experience

A uniquely wonderful restaurant. If you like fish you must try. The fish is fresh, well seasoned and moist. The large appetizer tray is fun to work through. I went to israel many years ago. The food here immediately brought me back to that adventure simply through the tastes. From that perspective, I'd say it is very authentic. The staff was so helpful and friendly.
