Caffit — Restaurant in Modiin-Maccabim-Reut

The restaurant overlooks the Anava park and the view is pretty. The service was terrible. We reserved an outside sitting in advance, but when we arrived, the owner claimed that was impossible because outside sitting reservation was disabled for fear of rain. He was short of acusing us of lying and said we were welcome to sit outside, but if it were to rain, we'd be screwed (basically he claimed he wouldn't let us in and let us stay out in the rain 🤷‍♂️). He was gulping beers one after another and smelled pretty drunk. The waiters were unorganized and kept on bringing us dishes we didn't order arguing with us that we did. Took them at least 15 min to come receive the payment after we got the bill and eventually we just got up and paid at the register on the way out. The food was average, but too salty. It's a pity that such a pretty place is owned by someone so not capable. Not going...

The views if you are sitting outdoors are exceptional, and their lunch and dinner offerings are quite nice. However, if it's a very hot or rainy day where you will be sitting indoors, and you are looking for a breakfast, you may be better served by other options like BigA in Shilat.

I've been there for lunch and breakfast, and these are two very different experiences. The lunch menu was a bit pricey, but the food and ambiance were exceptional. In contrast, the breakfast menu is more limited and not quite to the same standard. The breakfast was fairly generic, wish it had more flavor and personality. Hard to justify the premium price for the breakfast, especially if you are...

We took the family menu, with a caesar salad that came with a normal vinaigrette and pieces of soggy bread (how was it a caesar salad then..?). Then we received pasta in their puddle of oil (I had a solid centimeter of oil in my plate at the end..). The worst fish and chips possible, bad fries and disgusting frozen fish made like a shnitzel, coming with 3 sauce straight from small condiments packets (one was supposed to be tartare, what a joke..) . And the pizza, basic, smaller than in usual restaurant. All of this for 80 euros only!! I could compare this to some restaurants prices in Paris but that would be an insult for those places to be compared to this...
