Beit Kandinof — Restaurant in Tel-Aviv

The entry and accomodation experience: We went to this place around 15:00pm when no one was around. Place was empty. Two girls at the entrace, one was eating from a plate right in front of us. She did not stoped eating, ut while eating asked us what we want. Second girl took us to the worst table in the restaurant even if the place was empty. We asked her kindly ro move us to a better table. She did a huge effort and asked a waiter to put us to another table.

The waiter experience: Waitress ignored us about 5 times. Finaly we made eye contact and waived toughly and she came. She praised the food and talked a lot. Later I found out everything she said it was just something she learned by heart.

The food experience: We ordered an entreé and 2 main dishes. The entreé and one of the main dishes were brought in the same time. The bruschetta is actualy a quarter of a bread slice cut in two with greasy fish on it. Score from 1 to 10: -1. The salmon tartar: a lot of sauce, a lot of mayonesse, a lot of bread, just like you would do it when you want to hide the fact that the salmon has a problem. Overall experience is that salmon does not have a problem but too much sauce just made the dish like a McDonald burger. Score: -2. Thw pelemenîie with eggplant: they deliver a whole story about the dish but in the end you will find out that eggplant completely loses taste when you boil it inside the pelmenîie. The sauce in which pelmenîie are put is just disgusting. Score: -100.

Conclusion: go and eat here if you want to cry for the money you'll pay and to laugh at whoever is...

Beautiful atmosphere with lots of natural stone walls and a courtyard-like ambience.

For a "healthy" start, a salad with fresh and sun dried tomatoes, some goat cheese, arugula and pine nuts. Simply dressed with vinegar and oil. The tomatoes simply tasted good here, no comparison to the "water bombs" from Spain or the Netherlands, which are served so often in Germany. The main course was a filet mignon skewer with green beans and grilled potatoes. The meat was medium raw to the point, but a little too cold when served. Tasted delicious, with a little pepper and, above all, the Full Body Malbec from the Negev desert rounded everything off. I'll take it again when I come back.😋 The beans were very „al dente“ (just the way I like it and not so overcooked). The grilled potatoes were amazing! Yummy, next time I could eat a whole plate by themselves. Finally, an obligatory dessert: a chocolate mousse with hazelnut crumble. Just reading the dessert menu caught my eye (better: mouth 🤣). The alternative was a mango lassi, which reminded me of an Indian restaurant, but why trying not next time?🤩 And a mint tea to warm me up, it's getting a bit fresh in the evening in November already… Conclusion: “to do” when visiting...

Great food, strange hostess. We made a reservation at the restaurant and when we arrived and said our name the hostess asked us if we wanted to have the menu in English or in Hebrew. At the same time her colleague asked us something else and they also started talking with eachother. I then answered her question and said "In English please". For whatever reason she decided to totally misunderstand me and thought I was telling her to talk in English with her colleague. Without reassuring or asking any further she snapped at me very rudely and told me that of course she would talk to her colleague in Hebrew. I was completely stunned (she had a very rude tone) and did not understand why she would snap at me. Her colleague tried to calm her down (she obviously understood that I simply answered the question) and told her that I was referring to the menu. She then mumbled sorry, did not look at us anymore and simply guided us to our table. No further apology, nothing. I felt really weird after that because of this out of nowhere attack. However the food was really good and our waiter/bartender was nice so that saved...
