Fodor's Review:

The name—a Hebrew literary phrase that translates roughly as "yesteryear"—is a clue to the character of the place. This funky café-restaurant and used bookstore occupies two separate rooms on the upper floor of a mid-19th-century house. Hosting Hebrew (and occasionally English) poetry readings and modest book launches, it's long been a popular spot with intellectuals and folks who just enjoy lingering over a book. No meat is served, but choose from a tempting selection of salads, pasta, and fish dishes such as salmon fillet in white wine and fig sauce. Desserts have taken a serious turn for the better.
