Symmetry that touches the sky These are the Bahá’í Gardens in Haifa - 19 terraces cascading down Mount Carmel toward the sea. At the center stands the golden-domed Shrine of the Báb, a prophet of the Bahá’í faith. Total length: about 1 km, height difference: 225 meters - all meticulously maintained by hand. A UNESCO World Heritage Site since 2008. No noise, food, or running allowed - silence is s...

The Baháʼí Terraces, or the Hanging Gardens of Haifa, are garden terraces on Mount Carmel in Haifa, and one of the most popular tourist destinations in Israel.

Reviews Summary

Rive West is praised for its exceptional cocktails and delicious, unique food offerings in a cozy and stylish atmosphere. Reviewers highlight the intimate vibe, great service, and well-decorated space. However, some guests note that portions can be small for the price, and service can occasionally be slow or less professional.

"A boutique restaurant, the place is a bit small, has a very nice vibe, excellent service.
Cocktails are very special, and the food is just amazing.
We were late at night, we had the mac and cheese which was super delicious, the shrimp burger is very interesting and perfectly precise. The flank meat was also good. We liked the food so much. Definitely will go back again."

"Small, intimate and cosy culinary bar - this is how I would describe it.
We sat at the bar and had a nice candle which was very nice.
The bartender was very accommodating, explaining about each cocktail and giving us good recommendations.
Everything we ordered from the food menu was very good!
Totally recommned this place."

"Mixed feelings. Cocktails good, price on a par with Tel Aviv upmarket.
Food tasty, portions small tasting plates. Salad with pecan and dates was fresh but overpriced for what it was. Service friendly but not very professional. We had one diner who has gluten sensitivity. Our responsibility was that we forget to check about allergens in side vegetables till the steak came to the table. We asked one of staff for vegetables instead of the friend potato . He refused saying that was the way the dish was served. We didn’t argue but I think for those prices offering another few pieces of steamed broccoli on a plate is not a big deal. This is the first time ever that restaurant staff refused to swop a side dish for a person who has allergy to certain foods. Overall good food, prices fairly high. The service needs polishing."

46 - Dining and Food

A few weeks have passed since the culinary bar Rive West opened in the lower city and already it can be said that there is nothing like it in Haifa. Something about the precise menu alongside the special cocktails, concocted by a mixologist expert in mixing and distilling, blend into the careful design of the space and the soft lighting, designed around one brown sofa. Remember Joey, Chandler, Monica, Ross, Rachel and Phoebe?
