Kitchen. Place. People.

Everything you need to know about our dairy kitchen, kashrut and planning a visit.

What can you eat at a dairy restaurant?

The Ben Amataim menu combines pasta, pizza, salads, fish and starters alongside breakfast. Cheeses, vegetables and sauces give each dish its character, whether you want a lighter meal or a full dinner.

The full menu includes dish names, descriptions and prices. If you are looking for a vegetarian or vegan option, or a particular adjustment, read the ingredients and check with the team. Dairy kashrut does not establish vegan suitability or the absence of allergens.
