Buchman’s Diner: An American-style diner in the ’hood - review

Lior and Matan are enthusiastic young men, and Buchman’s Diner adds something new to the restaurant scene on Emek Refaim. I think that with some changes to the food, they will succeed.

Bagel Café: Try it – you won’t be disappointed - review

The café is open all day, and contrary to what you might think from the name, it serves many other items besides bagels, such as make-it-yourself salads and filled buns.

Lilian: Outstanding pastries near the King David Hotel - review

The pastries are outstanding, with the brioche dough like a cloud and not too sweet. Most pastries are NIS 26 and a decent size but not huge, so you don’t have to feel too guilty about eating them.

 OUTSTANDING FOOD and pastries at Lilian.
