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 without being overwhelmed.
What really elevates the sandwich are the thoughtful additions. Whether it’s a subtle hint of citrus, a sprinkle of chili flakes, or a light drizzle of olive oil, every component feels intentional. The flavors are clean, fresh, and satisfying without being heavy, making it the perfect breakfast or brunch option. It’s filling enough to keep you going, but still light enough that you don’t feel weighed down afterward.
Beyond the food, the service deserves praise. The staff is friendly and genuinely welcoming, happy to offer recommendations and clearly proud of what they serve. Even during busy morning hours, everything runs smoothly and efficiently without feeling rushed.

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.

I came here for the first time and I loved their food. Starting from their small plates the pita bread was delicious. It was soft like it just came out of the oven. You combine that with the hummus oh my god I was in heaven. haha I cant even begin to describe the white fish with lemon and garlic which was seasoned and grilled perfectly. I also ordered some oven roasted potatoes mixed with sweet potatoes which paired well with the fish. Those were good too. The service was excellent. Friendly staff. Very cozy restaurant. I’ll definitely be coming back soon

This place is definitely one of the best Mediterranean places in North America.
1- The mezze tray is fantastic. Everything was high quality and tasty. Great combinations of Middle Eastern appetizers. Beautifully designed and served.
2-Very rarely you can see a place in North America that serves real Hummus and doesn’t mess up the original recipe. This Hummus tastes what you would get in the Middle East.
3- We had Sea Bream and Trout and both really delicious and beautifully designed.
4- Great staff and service.
5- Israeli salad was fresh and tasty. You could see the cucumbers had fresh cuts and sauce was enough, not less or more.

First time here at the fish grill Wednesday evening, a few tables were occupied, they’ve covered up the kitchen unlike before when it was shawarma grill, it was open. We ordered only one salmon to share with chopped salad and was surprised that it came with all sort of sides – plate of hummus, smaller sides includes two types of babaganoush, pickles+olives, roasted peppers, egg+potato salad, tahini, pico de gallo of sorts, and hot chili paste. All of them were delicious I must say, but we were not fan of tahini so we didn’t touch that, everything else were wiped clean.
It was definitely on the pricey end $18 but the grilled salmon was incredibly incredible, very succulent and so flavorful, the skin was just absolute perfection, again, the plate was wiped clean.
Service was quick and easy albeit intimidating at first – they passed you the menu, order, pay, sit and enjoy. The server/hostess was super nice and friendly so were the kitchen staff. Food started to come out in less than 5 mins. My only complaint – they don’t give enough pita!!
We will definitely be back to try other fishies

Amazing food. Great service. Simple and very delicious. The food quality was excellent for a humble environment. The salmon was amazing and the bread and salad that was delivered with the meal was super delicious. Highly recommended!
