Opa, Tel Aviv
The 35-seat restaurant is located in Tel Aviv’s bustling but decidedly ramshackle Levinsky Market. This setting,while charming in its authenticity, posed an immediate and obvious design challenge: how does one create a re-fined dining experience on a derelict street that is otherwise marked by wholesale storefronts and bodega-style corner stores?
