Hiba Restaurant in Tel Aviv Serves Up Elevated Design<\/h1>\n\n\n\n

2023 Best of Year Winner for Fine Dining<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Like the subtle Mediterranean-fusion cuisine it serves, the 2,700-square-foot Hiba Restaurant in Tel Aviv, designed by Pitsou Kedem Architects<\/a>, reveals itself gradually. Ushered down an arched corridor, arriving guests get intermittent glimpses of the kitchen and 40-seat dining area\u2014a single, continuous space\u2014through a gridlike oak screen inspired by the wood-latticework partitions in traditional Islamic architecture. The same grid clads the dining-area ceiling and external wall, anchoring a palette of natural materials that includes more oak for furniture and paneling; polished concrete for flooring and as a finish on various built-ins; and granite, both rough and smooth, for a series of massive islands\u2014flexible elements that can be used as food-preparation surfaces, waiter stations, or, topped with an oak slab, a dining counter, further integrating the seamless cooking-serving-eating experience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
