About the restaurant

The story of Landwer. A story of tradition. A story of quality.
In 1919 on a picturesque street in the center of Berlin, Moshe Landwer opens a small and romantic coffee house, which quickly turned into one of the city’s favorite hangout spots. In 1933 with the rise to power of the Nazi regime, Moshe Landwer along with his family, made aliya and settles in Tel Aviv. On Allenby Street, facing the sea, he opened the country’s first coffee brewing house.
In 1964, due to the rising demand for quality coffee, the Landwer factory moved to its permanent location in Holon. In 2004, the 3 founders of Café Landwer approached the Landwer coffee brand with an idea to revive the brand with rich heritage & legacy. They opened the first café in Rabin Square in Tel Aviv which made its mark in the community. Years later, Café Landwer is now a local restaurant chain & franchise with 80 locations across Israel. These locations are designed to create a warm and elegant atmosphere, to welcome & host guests!

I went with my whole family. We had a blast! It’s so much fun for the kids. I love the fact that it’s not just for kids. It’s for adults as well. The menu has changed since the last time I’ve been there. It is very wonderful.

About the restaurant

"Start your day with an oceanside breakfast experience at Tinta. Located at The Westin Fort Lauderdale Beach Resort, Tinta is the sister restaurant to the resort's upscale Mexican eatery, Lona Cocina Tequileria. Tinta, meaning "ink" in Spanish, is the ink to Lona's canvas, which is a reference to Chef Pablo Salas' love of tattoos. Tinta serves breakfast exclusively while Lona has rocketed to popularity for its lunch and dinner service, killer brunch, and bar program. Whether you are a local or just passing by, enjoy breakfast inside or out on the restaurant's gorgeous oceanside terrace. Tinta by Lona is Fort Lauderdale's go-to spot for a little "sabor" with a Mexican twist, and is sure to kick off any day right."

About the restaurant

A lot has changed since 1982; but despite Fort Lauderdale’s evolution, one restaurant on the Intracoastal has been there every step of the way. With its dockside views, fresh seafood, and lively events — all served up in a relaxed environment — Shooters Waterfront is a Florida icon. There’s a reason behind our longevity: We invite you to see for yourself.

We spent Mother's Day at Ten Palms with family & friends. The Moms were greeted with a long-stemmed red rose and a photo op in front of a beautiful Mother's Day balloon and light display. We were seated along the windows overlooking the track and it was a beautiful day for racing. The buffet included every detail, from a welcome mimosa, to an omlette station to a carvery and everything in between. A dessert buffet topped off the meal with sweets, pies and trifles. The food was fresh and delicious, and the track-side betting topped off the experience. Our reservation was later in the day, we weren't rushed to make room for another seating. There was constant attention from your amazing staff who were friendly and attentive throughout the afternoon. Ten out of ten!

Absolutely the best beach restaurant for food, drinks, service and great manager, who is very helpful. We are locals and it was a busy weekend with air show and Mother’s Day events at the beach. Our food was excellent and highly recommend this to locals and visitors.

About the restaurant

Located in the heart of Downtown Pompano Beach, South Bar & Kitchen is a contemporary Southern American concept with a heavy Louisiana influence, infusing Cajun and Creole flavors in a tantalizing way. Bringing people together is at the heart of everything South has to offer, from the community patio with a centerpiece tree adorned with sparkling lights to the meat smoker that not only warms our food but introduces a nostalgic feeling.
