What to check and what to do

  1. Use restaurant names and map links to check their location relative to your guesthouse.
  2. Before ordering, ask about spice levels and ingredients. If you have an allergy, explain it clearly and check whether the kitchen can accommodate it.
  3. Check portion sizes and prices on the menu, and check the bill for added taxes or other charges.
  4. For a Shabbat meal or a large group, contact the venue in advance to check hours and availability.
