Any places in Gush Etzion have Badatz or something better than Rabbanut mehadrin?
I think technically Beitar is in Gush Etzion, you can find places with Badatz there.

Thanks, any specific recommendations for a family-friendly lunch place in Beitar with Badatz or similar hashgacha?

There's a mall area in Beitar B, close to entrance to the city. All food places will have a badatz or s/t similar

Okay, Beitar could work but it's a bit out of the way. Any milchig Rabbanut Mehadrin places in the Alon Shvut area of Gush Etzion that someone has personally looked into and been told that it's on the level of better hechsherim and okay to eat there?

perhaps call the mashgiach and ask the specific q's? E/o has diff standards, and anonymous replies online aren't a great indicator.

Updated (and reformatted) version (I don't vouch for anything here, only posting because a previous version was posted, and for my comments below).



Kind of ironic (if ignoring the top two) to find She'eris at the top right and BK on bottom left (in a list created by/for Anash of Lubavitch @aygart). While I am somewhat relieved by the fact BK doesn't mention Chabad in his symbol, everyone knows who he is, and unfortunately the consensus of experts in the field is that BK isn't good.

Also of note is the fact that a certain "Lubavitch" Hechsher is completely missing. Reminds me of a video of Motti Lipsker explaining why he carries three different brands of chicken (three different "Lubavitch" hashgochos) and the attitudes of various customers. This might tie into my post about the worms in the Lubavitch cemetery.

I don't see anything about the Waldorf being acceptable... Is that an oversight?

Any suggestions/options for a cheap (decent) priced restaurant or small hall for a shabbos meal for approx 20 Adults and 5 children. Geula area (or within 20 min walk of Tenuvah)

Stars on Yirmiyahu opposite Ganei Geula is the nearest hall to Tenuva as far as i know- in house catering no idea on prices.
Halls W/i 20-30 min walk (off the top of my head)
Eliyahu Hanavi on Petach Tikva (prob cheapest of the bunch)
Ahavas Torah on Zayis Raanan
Mesilas Yesharim off of Ezra
Loevre on Oholiav

these are all 50-100 person halls...

Not that I know of.
What about eating in Prima Palace, or Skyline if you eat there?
Or the new hotel in the new yad sara building "Yirmiyahu 33"
Or any other hotel if you eat their kashrus?
There are a couple of eida hotels on hanevieim
