Onza, Restaurant in Jaffa Flea Market, Israel
Onza is a restaurant in the Jaffa Flea Market area of Tel Aviv, with tables that extend onto the street and a spacious interior centered on a bar. The space was designed by architect Dan Troim and brings together the open feel of the market with a more finished interior layout.
The restaurant was opened by the Baraka House Group, founded by Asaf Lees, who had previously worked at several known venues across the city. The opening brought together experienced people from Tel Aviv's food scene under one roof.
Onza sits in the middle of Jaffa Flea Market, where the rhythm of the market flows naturally into the dining space. The kitchen works with regional ingredients and connects familiar local flavors with a modern approach to cooking.
The restaurant is located in the heart of Jaffa Flea Market and is easy to reach by public transport from central Tel Aviv. Outdoor seating is right in the flow of the market, so the experience at a table on the street feels different in the morning than in the evening.
Co-founder Alon Friedman has a background in finance alongside deep knowledge of food, which is an uncommon pairing in the restaurant world. This combination shapes how the place is run on a day-to-day basis, from sourcing to service.
