Sarona Market, Indoor marketplace in Tel Aviv, Israel

Sarona Market is an indoor marketplace in Tel Aviv, housed in a large hall with numerous specialty food shops, restaurants, and gourmet vendors. The space is divided into clearly defined sections where visitors can find fresh produce, ready-to-eat dishes, and food products from Israel and abroad.

Sarona Market opened in 2015, built by Gindi Holdings as part of Sarona Park between the restored houses of the Templer colony. The colony was founded in 1871 by a German Templer delegation; after 1947 its buildings housed Israeli government offices until 1955. In 2006 the government decided to preserve and restore 36 houses, and the market was designed by architects Kika Braz, Uri Ben Dror and Michael Ankawa of Studio Mo.

Many vendors focus on products tied to specific regions of Israel, so walking through the market feels like moving through different parts of the country at once. The mix of Mediterranean produce, imported cheeses, and local spices shows how Tel Aviv brings together cooking traditions from many backgrounds.

The market lies between HaArba'a and Kaplan streets, at the southern edge of the restored Templer colony. Its 8,700 square metres hold about 90 businesses, so allow time to walk the full hall. The market also operates on Saturdays and holidays, when many other Tel Aviv venues close.

The market sits right next to the Sarona colony, a restored German Templar settlement with stone houses from the 19th century that can be walked through just steps away. This proximity means a single visit can cover both a food market and a walk through one of the oldest surviving neighborhoods in the city.
