Contact us for accessibility assistance

Our accessibility contact is Ran, the restaurant owner. You can call 077-6702762 or 072-3975891, or email benamataim@gmail.com.

Please include the page address, what you were trying to do and what would help you access the service. You may also mention your device, browser or assistive technology if known. You do not need to share a medical diagnosis. If you need a particular way of communicating, please let us know.

Access at the restaurant

According to information supplied by the owner, there is an accessible entrance via a lift and ample parking nearby. Contact Ran before your visit to discuss the lift location, the route from parking, designated accessible parking, accessible toilets and adjustments for your visit. The entrance and parking information is not a professional premises accessibility survey.

Using the website with a keyboard

Use Tab to move through links and controls, Shift+Tab to go back, and Enter or Space to activate a control as appropriate. Escape closes open dialogs. Skip-to-content and continuous-reading links appear at the start of keyboard navigation. Keyboard navigation switches the cinematic layout to continuous reading.

Website accessibility tools

A person-shaped button is available on every page, with the accessible name “Accessibility options”. It opens a side panel that leaves the website usable. Changes appear as you select them. Close it with Escape or the close button, and move between the panel and website using the keyboard. The tools are also available in the footer.

• Increase text size up to 200% and switch fonts.
• Use light or dark high contrast and increased text spacing.
• Highlight links, headings and keyboard focus.
• Stop motion, videos and three-dimensional scroll chapters.
• Use continuous reading and jump straight to page headings.
• Use a larger pointer and a reading guide.
• Adjustable line spacing, a reading window and larger click targets.
• Softer image colours or greyscale, plus a list of image descriptions on the page.
• Quick adjustments for reading, reduced distraction and clearer navigation, with a choice of panel side.
• Save preferences on your device and reset them at any time.

Your preferences are not sent to the server. The website also respects your operating system's reduced-motion setting. You can zoom with your browser without using the accessibility tools.

Content and forms

The restaurant menu is available as text with dish names and prices. The website includes headings, content regions, field labels, image descriptions, status messages and an error summary for the enquiry form. Atmosphere videos are not required to get information or make a booking; you can pause them and read a text description.

Testing scope and accessibility status

The work is guided by Israeli Standard 5568 Part 1 at Level AA, alongside additional WCAG 2.2 AA checks. The preview review covers 42 Hebrew and English pages. Axe-core scans and interaction checks were run in a remote server environment using Chromium, Firefox and WebKit browser engines. Checks covered headings, page language, control names, image descriptions, keyboard navigation, focus, dialogs, menu search, form error identification and correction, and privacy preferences.

Checks also covered a 320 CSS-pixel viewport, 200% text enlargement, spacing, contrast modes and reduced motion. Screen-reader checks used Orca with Firefox on Linux, reviewing generated speech output for navigation, headings, labels, errors and status messages in both languages. This evaluates software output, not voice quality or pronunciation.

Results apply to the version and scenarios described. They are not accessibility certification, an accredited accessibility survey or validation of every device and assistive-technology combination. Testing and fixes continue as the website changes and feedback is received. If a particular action is inaccessible to you, contact us so we can assist, investigate and correct it.

External services

Table reservations are made throughOntopo, and directions may open Waze. These services are operated by other providers; their booking and navigation journeys are outside the restaurant website test results. If you encounter a difficulty, contact the restaurant to arrange assistance and an alternative way to receive the service.
