Landwer Jerusalem

A typical day during a holiday, the restaurant wasn't busy, and yet the service was not as expected with attension to us as customers.
The food wasn't that tasety "benoni" and "tafel" unfortunately.

Closed on Shabbats now! :(

5 Star Cappuccino
5 Star location in First Station
4 Star Salmon Sandwich

It is hard to hit a lowest bar in service among Israeli restaurants - but this time they managed to do it. We waited for a table, when it was ready and the hostess called us - but when we reached the table she came back and told the following sentence- ‘manager told not to Let anyone else because it is too busy” - there were about 8 free tables ) then I asked to see that manager- when a lady came in couple of minutes she had no idea what is going on - I asked the hostess to repeat what she told me, apparently there was another manager and not her who gives instructions. And the end lady who came just waved her hands at us and said if you don’t like it you can go”) just like this -
You are welcome to spend there your money if your like to be treated like trash
Food is sometimes tastes like it was frozen and premade by the way there - I have visited it before, it is one of few non-kosher places at the Train station that is opened on Shabbat and has seating areas for a bigger groups

I can't give 0 stars. The service was 🗑. The food was subpar (seasoning is not on the menu) neither is half of lunch/dinner menu available at 3:30pm. 1 staff member who actually was trying to check the entire restaurant. We had a table of 4. Waited literally 40 minutes for the 4th persons food to come out & we were avoided like the plague when we tried to ask about the 4th plate. Had to hunt someone down to get the ✔️ & then had to stand at kiosk to pay. Was then told tip not included for someone who did nothing.

Got a tuna salad. The Avocado was rotten and and potatoes frozen from the inside. Don't come here. Asked to replace the Avocado. Had to ask many times in order for them to comply.

During my stay in Israel I had lunch or dinner in quite a few restaurants. Actually, all of them were good but Landwer's in Jerusalem's First station was the best. Very kind staff, a beautiful, laid-back and friendly ambience, and - most important - soooo delicious meals. I had a great time there and look forward to coming back anytime in the future.
