Help from Haifa experts re restaurant for Sheva Brachot

I am coming to Israel for a wedding this summer and would like to host a Sheva Brachot in Haifa for about 25 adults and 10 kids. Can anyone suggest a reasonable kosher venue...can be a restaurant or a room in a catering hall...either indoors or outdoors is fine. Any suggestions will be most appreciated. Thanks in advance!

I doubt many Israeli imamothers are familiar with Haifa. Most of them seem to live in Jerusalem, Beit Shemesh or surrounding yeshuvim. I live in none of these myself, but I'm far from Haifa. I do know kosher places are not common there at all.

I hope someone can help you. Maybe do some internet research, although probably the sites are all in Hebrew.

What heksher?

There's El Gaucho in the Carmel neighborhood and also an asian food place in one of the hotels nearby. I'm not sure what the hekshers are.

El Gaucho has an English website: http://www.elgaucho.co.il/elgaucho-grill-restaurant-menu

There are more places but I'm not so familiar with the area.

I know a few places just north of Haifa.

All are either Mehadrin, or atleast have glatt meat. Easier to find dairy though....

Cafe Cafe (dairy)- Kiryat Yam
Shalet (dairy)- Kiryat Motzkin
BP (meat) AMAZING!- Lev Hamifratz
Cafe Greg (dairy)- Kiryat Ata

Kiryat Ata tends to have some takeout places, maybe some halls there are okay too. Take time to look into it, its not so easy to find. Definitly not in actual Haifa. Almost everyting is open on shabbat which means they wont get a teuda

I spent some time in Haifa and local friends took us to an off-the-beaten-path restaurant which I enjoyed very much, especially the atmosphere. It is a dairy restaurant. Don't know anything about its "teudah". It is in Kfare Bialik near Kiryat Bialik which is right outside of Haifa. the name is "Cafe BaHoresh". Hope you like it if you go. Mazal tov!
