Restaurants in Israel are pricey. This is almost a ‘fact’ now. But if you don’t want to live with hummus for your entire stay in Israel, you can check out this website called Beteavone to find restaurant deals and save money!
The discount goes like this: You pay 80NIS and you get a 150NIS voucher in return! That’s a bargain!
You need a local Israeli number to register for an account!
Beteavone in 2018
It’s a new website in Israel. The good thing about this website is that it’s in English! Most restaurants that work with Beteavone are in Jerusalem and Tel Aviv at the moment.
Perhaps you’d think only restaurants with bad reviews would offer deals on Beteavone. But… Anna was on their list too! You can read my wonderful experience dining in Anna here. It’s definitely worth a visit! It’s quite a popular restaurant among locals. So I wouldn’t question the authenticity of these restaurants.
Restaurant Types
- Dairy: Only eggs and fish
- Meat: Meat…
- Parve: Offering both dairy and meat
And then Casherout is Kosher. There are 3 levels of Kosher, Rabanut is the least strict, then Badatz then Mehadrine. It’s all kosher, the small difference is like how long food can be frozen or how many times flour needs to be sifted….
Discount Offers
1.Free Coupon
Something like 10% off or free bottle of wine when dining as 4 adults etc. Download this and you can use it whenever.
2. Voucher (xx instead of xx)
This is like a gift voucher. You pay 80NIS and you get a voucher worth 150NIS. So if my bill is 200NIS in Anna, I pay with this voucher plus 50NIS cash. If my bill is 130NIS, I pay with this voucher and I’ll not get any change back!
How to Register and Purchase Voucher
You need Israeli number to register an account. And I guess any credit card can be used. I haven’t tried this yet.
Things to know
1. Voucher will be emailed to your mailbox. You can print it or show it on your phone.
2.No refund on the voucher.
3.One voucher per table.
4.You’ll not receive any change when your bill comes less than the voucher amount.

I tried Beteavone! The one advice I’d give is… Remember to print it out! I had to wait for 5 minutes for the vendor to confirm with her boss whether it’s okay not to have a printed coupon! (Read my experience of eating at Aaris here!)
