Lox

We were looking for a kosher restaurant that would be quiet enough for us to talk comfortably with each other. We sat down around 11:00 a.m. without a wait on the outdoor patio. There was a nice view of the Hudson river and the Statue of Liberty. Just below the patio was a lovely rock garden where we could walk in the shade. I had a nice challah French toast and my family had various lox bagels. We were happy sharing our breakfasts and had animated conversation without difficulty. Afterwards I briefly viewed some of the museum photos and wall quotes. Dietary restrictions: Kosher restaurant Kid-friendliness: Not too busy and had nice stone garden off patio where you could view the Statue of Liberty.

Just beautiful view of the Statue of Liberty and Ellis Island which seems appropriate for this Museum restaurant. We loved the lox which was very high quality and not salty on a wonderful bagel with terrific garnish. The matzo ball is light and fluffy and the soup just right on a cold Feb afternoon. Our server suggested the chocolate strudel which was better than the strudel in Vienna. I can't think of a better lunch I have every had in the area and look forward to returning to try the Bobka.

Really great house made lox in a few different varieties. The menu has a bit of an Eastern European feel to it, but with a little New York flair. Chef David Teyf is very present in the kitchen and out around the tables. Not cheap, but high quality food with fresh ingredients, well made. We went for an early brunch before visiting the Museum of Jewish Heritage although you can eat without buying a ticket to the museum

Beautiful place with a very cozy atmosphere and a nice view. Food and service is great too. Dietary restrictions: It’s kosher, chalav yosroel and pas yisroel.

Delicious Jewish food tucked away on the 2nd floor of the Museum of Jewish Heritage Hot take - best lox in the city! Bagel and lox is loaded with delicious fish and cream cheese. My only complaint would have been for more onions. But I love onions. Deviled eggs are good too The rainbow cake was decent. There’s better ones around. Service was good but a little confusing. It’s supposed to be table service but there is no host to seat you. We ended up ordering at the counter but the food was served to our table ... You don’t have to pay the museum admission to eat here Great views while you eat too!

First of all, the museum is magnificent. It is a must visit. An experience that will stay with you. As for Lox, as good and authentic as it could be. I had the Minsk Matzo Babka and the Original Bagel and Lox. Both tasted so good; and absolutely real. The staff was nice, the chef was there. The view is great and the seats are well-spaced. Highly recommended!

I was very happy to find this wonderful cafe. I was immediately greeted & seated by Rabbi Victor Haziza. Rabbi Victor was such a pleasure, and made the atmosphere all the more special for me. I have allergies, and he carefully went over the menu with me. The food was absolutely delicious! The cafe was beyond clean, spotless! The view was breathtaking. I will always eat at Lox cafe, and have more intriguing conversations with Rabbi Victor. Thank you for a lovely lunch.

3 of us had Bagel & Lox, Sirniki, & French Toast. The chef was really nice and sent us a complimentary plate of deviled eggs

The lox platter is a great value and introduction to the various and impeccably prepared lox varieties including my personal favourite the Pastrami Lox. The condiments, cheeses and breads and bagels just combine to form a symphony of flavours. We loved and savoured every bite and wished we had more space to order more!

Lox is the cafe located on the 2nd floor of the Museum of Jewish Heritage. You don't have to pay museum admission to eat here though you do have to go through the security check. They offer five different types of lox here, in interesting flavors like the pastrami lox and the sake ginger lox. There are also Jewish/Russian sweets like strudel and babka. They observe Jewish holidays here, so always check ahead. If you're a fan of lox, this should be on your list.
