Branches of this chain of dairy restaurant/coffee shops are scattered throughout Gush Dan. But there is only one kosher branch, and it is certainly one of the nicest in the chain.
The kosher Café Neto is located in Kiryat Matalon, Petach Tikva. From the Geha junction, proceed toward Petach Tikva. Hasivim Street and the entrance to Kiryat Matalon is the second traffic light on your right. The restaurant is a few meters down on the right hand side of the street. Note that the restaurant is set back away from the street, behind the restaurant parking lot and a large well-kept garden. Wow. Can this be an industrial park?
Note that there is a short walk from the parking lot to the restaurant and 4 – 5 steps up to the restaurant.
A lovely wooden deck wraps around the front of the restaurant, with comfortable and spacious covered seating. Folks who prefer the indoors can sit at round, nicely spaced tables. The atmosphere is clean, spacious, and very comfortable.
The menu includes breakfasts, salads, toastim, sandwiches, quiches, and other dairy delights. There is a large selection of cold and hot drinks and no shortage of luscious-looking cakes.
We were a  party of three for lunch at Café Neto one afternoon. We were very impressed by the spaciousness of the restaurant and the convenient parking. The service was prompt, polite, and helpful. The restaurant was very cooperative about Saba’s dietary restrictions, and the waiter patiently helped us choose one of the breakfasts that best suited his needs. My tuna & tomato toast, served with salad, was both delicious and aesthetically presented. The portion was very generous and quite filling. The sandwich that was delivered to the third member of our party was modest compared to the other two dishes, but nobody left the restaurant hungry.
These three dishes plus one and cold drinks for us all came to NIS 141 before the eLuna discount. We thought this very reasonable for the lunch for three of us. |
