"Great restaurant with quick and friendly service plus a relaxed outdoor area. They have an amazing separate menu for vegans! We ate here at least once a day for our whole week’s long stay in Eilat! 🥕"

"In a shopping center with great views of the downtown Eilat area and beautiful palm trees. Can get busy during tourist time. Food was ok. Had stuffed mushrooms as appetizer and fish and chips."

"Cafe Optimi is a great spot for basic Italian cuisine. While the menu is somewhat limited—mostly catering to meat lovers—the dishes are rich in authentic Italian flavors. A nice, cozy place to enjoy a satisfying meal."

Best Kosher Restaurant 2003 | Eilat Cafe | Food & Drink
If your idea of kosher consists of that deli down the street or food made by Hebrew National, it's time to try the upscale cuisine at Eilat Cafe, which calls itself the best kosher restaurant in the country. The Boca Raton eatery has an eclectic menu spiced with Middle Eastern dishes including baba ghanouj and Turkish salad but also features a range from Oriental stir-fry to Cajun linguine. Best of all, the rabbi's blessing won't cost you 10 percent of your salary.
