About the restaurant

The story of Landwer. A story of tradition. A story of quality.
In 1919 on a picturesque street in the center of Berlin, Moshe Landwer opens a small and romantic coffee house, which quickly turned into one of the city’s favorite hangout spots. In 1933 with the rise to power of the Nazi regime, Moshe Landwer along with his family, made aliya and settles in Tel Aviv. On Allenby Street, facing the sea, he opened the country’s first coffee brewing house.
In 1964, due to the rising demand for quality coffee, the Landwer factory moved to its permanent location in Holon. In 2004, the 3 founders of Café Landwer approached the Landwer coffee brand with an idea to revive the brand with rich heritage & legacy. They opened the first café in Rabin Square in Tel Aviv which made its mark in the community. Years later, Café Landwer is now a local restaurant chain & franchise with 80 locations across Israel. These locations are designed to create a warm and elegant atmosphere, to welcome & host guests!

Central Beach

About the restaurant

"Start your day with an oceanside breakfast experience at Tinta. Located at The Westin Fort Lauderdale Beach Resort, Tinta is the sister restaurant to the resort's upscale Mexican eatery, Lona Cocina Tequileria. Tinta, meaning "ink" in Spanish, is the ink to Lona's canvas, which is a reference to Chef Pablo Salas' love of tattoos. Tinta serves breakfast exclusively while Lona has rocketed to popularity for its lunch and dinner service, killer brunch, and bar program. Whether you are a local or just passing by, enjoy breakfast inside or out on the restaurant's gorgeous oceanside terrace. Tinta by Lona is Fort Lauderdale's go-to spot for a little "sabor" with a Mexican twist, and is sure to kick off any day right."
