שריינתי כחודש מראש שולחן בפסטל. באנו לחגוג יום הולדת, אבל כנראה שהלו"ז של המסעדה הוא יותר בגדר המלצה רוחנית. המארחת הושיבה אותנו בשולחן של שישה אנשים (כי מי לא אוהבת לצעוק לבן הזוג שלה מהצד השני של המגרש?) ופיזרה...

An incredible dining experience from start to finish. The food was on an extreme level. starters, mains, and desserts were all outstanding. We were saying “wow” after every single dish. We celebrated a 50th birthday, and the restaurant surprised us with extra desserts and shots, which was such a thoughtful and generous touch. The service was exceptional. professional, and warm. Truly one of the best dining experiences we’ve had. Highly recommended.

It all began when one day I said, I’m taking you out, sister. Get out of bed! A fortieth birthday celebration was about to begin, But I would not be in the country, thus it was time to release the gin! But no gin for my sister for she was very much with-child, Nevertheless we headed to Pastel, it was time to get wild. We entered the eatery with excitement and hunger, Fish could be served, albeit I did not spot the fishmonger! Design at its top, architecturally beautiful, Staff so very kind, the blend was undisputable. But what of the cuisine? What flavours hit the spot? Actually, all of them were dancing on our tongues like a hot foxtrot. Salads so fresh and crisp, prawns undeniably comforting, Dishes full of flavour, all senses life changing. We were spoilt by the service that positively shook us to our core, It was an excellent celebration for my sister whom I adore. I cannot wait to return to the fabulous Pastel, So I can again be enchanted by this eatery’s spell.

We've visited this place recently and were truly impressed. The highlight for us was the carrot soup — rich, smooth, and full of deep flavor. It was perfectly seasoned. We also had the entrecôte, which was tasty and cooked well, but not quite at the same high standard as the rest of the dishes. Still enjoyable, just not the standout of the meal. Special thanks to Michael, our waiter, who was attentive, professional, and made us feel truly welcome. The service overall was excellent, and the atmosphere warm and inviting. Highly recommended for anyone who appreciates quality and flavor in every bite. We'll definitely return. Food: 9.6 (60%) Service: 9.7 (20%) Atmosphere: 9 (20%) Total: 9.46 (100%) ✅

It was not that horrible. I don’t want put 2 stars to ruin the rating but I think some major changes in tastes and flavors are extremely needed. We didn’t like anything. Personally, I found it tasteless or just mismatch with flavors. We ordered pelmeni (be ready to pay around 80 nis for 1 piece on a spoon, they bring 2 pieces. I am not joking) for a starter. It is written in the menu “bites” but you don’t literally expect a bite for a 80 nis. For the main course I took a fish fillet which was ok. But again it doesn’t make you eat more or enjoy a lot from it. Just fine. The service was good, attentive and welcoming.

Calm atmosphere on Saturday at ~2pm. Polite staff, great tasting food, shade, and decent portions. Not cheap. We had the Cucumber starter, the Shishbarak (which was brilliant), the gnocchi, Mediterranean Fish, Lulu Chicken, and Sabres Sorbet (which was fantastic, but confusingly labeled as "olive oil" שמן זית in the menu)
