Definitely recommended!!!"

"Disappointment. Did not meet expectations.
We visited the restaurant Les Sardines in Eilat — and were extremely dissatisfied. It’s completely unclear how this place got such high ratings.
Booking a table was a problem: the phone didn’t answer, and when they called back, it seemed like there were no available seats — even though when we arrived, the restaurant was almost empty.
I ordered a shrimp and rice dish — the rice was served cold. I asked for it to be heated, but they brought the same cold rice again.
The second dish — seafood pasta — was nothing special, except for the very high price.
The prices absolutely do not match the quality of the food or the service. Everything looks pretentious, but in reality — there is neither taste nor attention to detail.
Not recommended."

"We were 2 people. We had 6 appetizers: Bread, Deep fried Calamary, Ceviche, Gravlax, Deep fried fish "cigar", Fish Carpaccio. All were very good and reasonable prices (Israeli terms...). Ido recommended the wine (Yiron Rose 2024) based on our description of what we like and it was right on the spot. The food was delicious, service was caring and all in all it was a very good experience. We might return again during this vacation and for sure on our next one in Eilat."
