You will eat CS AY but not Machpud? Come on

i've heard and experienced that the machpud hechsher on food items is very good but on restaurants and caterers it's very weak.

Was at Happy Fish tonight, food was very good, outdoor seating is spacious and well done. Can't be live I didn't get to this place sooner. (I have a weakness for Fish).

Curious about the opinions on Beit Yosef/Shmita L'chumra restaurants?
Wouldn't touch them at all? OK for dairy?

Are you asking for an Ashkenazi in regards of eating meat, or is that not part of the question?

Yes

I was told that they are not to be relied on - unlike Machpud where it’s more of a Sefardi/Ashkenazi thing.
All rumors though, like everything here.

Also misinformation IMO
It all comes down to whose rumors you think are true.

Ok, I'm assuming this will open up a can of worms, but can anyone recommend a nice place (hotel?) for Shabbos lunch in Jerusalem (staying at 21st floor hotel) that has a reliable hechsher? I realize "reliable' is subjective, but if I have a starting point with some suggestions, I can check into the specifics myself.

Thanks!

what exactly does Machpud rely on that lenient for ashkenazi?

There are people in the leadership who are well known not be honest.

I personally eat dairy but not meat unless I can find info on specific Shechita.

Nothing. ETA Maybe certain parts of animals according to some Poskim, unlike RMF, that Asheknazim should not eat it since they lack Mesorah.
