Yankele - Bene Beraq

Cute spot near the water. Had a nice outdoor seating space, along with an indoor space that’s surrounded by large windows (and therefore feels kinda like it’s still outdoors). Sadly not all non-smoking and the big windows mean you might smell smoke even while seated inside. Was also frustrated since people were smoking even in the non-smoking outdoor space and the restaurant staff didn’t stop them (and they were just on the other side of the window we sat by, so we had to close it to avoid being in their giant smoke cloud). We all got the breakfast platter. The various salads were good and the focaccia was delicious. Coffee arrived a bit lukewarm, so that was a bit disappointing. Would return if ever someone I was with wanted to go, but would probably opt for a table farther from the windows by the smoking area so as to avoid the second hand smoke (at least, insofar as we could since they didn’t stop smoking in even the non-smoking areas).

The staff were friendly and the smoked salmon sandwich was pretty good. I had ordered the pan seared Norwegian smoked salmon with a mustard sauce, but they placed the order incorrectly and I received a normal smoked salmon sandwich instead. The sandwich came with an Israeli salad which consisted of diced tomatoes, cucumbers and red onion and it was delicious. I also had an Estrella Dame beer.

You can't visit Hertzilia Petuach without having a meal at Jankeles. Great food great fun, a must.

Bustling and great ambiance, recommended but service a little slow at times.

Easily one of my favourite lunch/brunch spots in alk of Israel, definitely in Herzliya. The whole menu is worth a try. For dinner I had their gnocchi pesto years ago which i still think about.
