There has been a recent change and bread is no longer available during lunch, no matter who you ask . Bread is now being prepared after the restaurant closes for lunch so that its hot and fresh for dinner service.
Years ago my mother went on a "Holy Land" church group tour to Israel and Egypt. My mother was not well travelled, and this was her first time out of the country. Our family was excited for her to have this experience with her friends and we looked forward to her trip report. Upon her return, we had a gathering to have her show us her photos and tell us all about her trip.
The first words out of her mouth "The restaurants don't serve hot bread with meals." So much for pyramids, walking in the footsteps of Jesus, etc.
Full disclosure: Our whole family enjoys having bread (warm or otherwise) before a meal when we're out to dinner, but it doesn't make or break the occasion. I do recall the Yachstman did have some tasty choices.
