Solo Carne is a high-end meat restaurant with the highest level kashrut. Two restaurants in one, the fast food and the flagship up-market restaurant both employ an all-Haredi staff.

The legendary Chef Yisrael transforms everyday ingredients into elegant dishes. Dine slowly and savor the food, says Chef Dudek. Dinner is structured as a tasting feast with a series of shared dishes served sequentially. A 7-course dinner for two will set you back NIS 500, a 4-course dinner for two, NIS 350. Wine and dessert are extra.



The great finale of the meal is a cleverly presented 3-piece meat dish of roast beef, corned beef and Turkish pastrami served on an artist’s palette, with dabs of colorful barbeque and beet ketchup sauces in place of the paints. The culinary artist was definitely at work.

Bistro 56 offers a delicious Mediterranean menu with a pleasant balance of meat, fish and vegetable dishes. This is a spacious up market restaurant, on the second floor of the Arena Mall, overlooking the mall plaza and the picturesque boat marina. The Tables on the veranda are covered in white cloth for one of the most inviting dinner scenes that you will find at any restaurant.

A large staff provide excellent service with a smile, no waiting, whether you sit indoors or out.

Bistro 56 uses only the best and freshest foods. The beef comes from the Golan and from Nebraska in the US and is aged for 21 days at least at the restaurant, so it is sure to be tender. Gaby, the chef of 13 years is a specialist at preparing this kind of beef. From start to finish, Bistro 56 is a very satisfying experience and one of our favorite restaurants. We are not alone. Reservations are recommended.

Minato specializes in authentic Japanese dishes. The restaurant is adamant about utilizing authentic ingredients, and cooking techniques used in Japan. A Japanese chef presides over the kitchen. He creates traditional Japanese cuisine that complies with the laws of kashrut and uses local seasonal ingredients.

Wanting to taste a variety of dishes, we decided to share one inside-out Sushi roll with cooked fish and two delicious fish main dishes. The sushi was beautifully presented on a platter with thin slivers of ginger. We then shared a platter of tempura fish served with the delicious Japanese Tentsuyu dipping sauce with Mirin, sweet rice wine. The fish was delicious alone and required no sauce, but the sauce added the zing.

We welcome Slow & Bro Smokehouse Restaurant to Raanana. This unassuming restaurant is located in the Etgarim industrial zone. This is a family restaurant. Dad runs the smoker and mom runs the kitchen. Your conscientious waiter is the son along with a few extra hands.



Slow & Bro is all about smoked meat. Almost all the foods (except the starters and the side dishes) come out of the smoker. A single portion of meat is about 200 grams and varies in price from NIS 90 - 120. Two people or more will prefer to order a combination platter of mixed meats that weighs in at a half kilo. A party of three or more meat-enthusiasts might prefer the one kilo platter.
