We started with the jasmine cocktail from the bar, a delicious gin and passiflora-based drink on ice (NIS 48). There is a limited selection of cocktails on the menu, but you don’t need more. We were then served a basket of fresh, warm, soft bread, with a crispy crust, cut in thick pieces, country-style, and served with butter and olives.
In addition to a great selection of fish dishes, there is a menu of pasta dishes. The pasta here is all handmade from scratch,.
