WELCOME TO KAPARA, DARLING

The incomparable Eran Tibi engaged us to work on their second London site in a brand new development in Soho.

Affectionately called Kapara - Hebrew slang for ‘darling’ - the new site offers elevated Israeli-inspired dishes which capture the unique, sun-kissed free spirit of Tel Aviv’s beautiful courtyards, with elements of LA, Ibiza and Miami hospitality. The space, housed in one of Soho’s most inspiring new neighbourhoods, comprises an alfresco terrace, a lounge and bar area and a main ground floor restaurant with a raised stage for live music and performances. The interiors celebrate Tel Aviv’s eclecticism with sweeping curved booths, luscious planting, brass accents and rich textures, providing guests a truly sensory experience which perfectly compliments the menu.

Kapara also boasts a destination basement level space – the jewel in its crown – which encompasses a luxurious dining room and six-seater counter, all of which can be transformed into a private dining area complete with a personal ‘serve yourself’ bar, a full PA system and multiple bespoke entertainment options. Inspired by Eran’s Grandad’s ‘Naughter Corner’ as a child, the subterranean space is set to become a destination in its own right, transforming into a chef’s table dining experience at the pass for maximum intimacy. With many areas to experience and explore, Kapara caters for any occasion - from small gatherings with friends and family to extravagant parties.

Inclusivity was extremely important to Eran and his team, so unisex toilets and careful planning for disabled access were a must.

The terrace is secluded in the rear courtyard of the property - giving it a more exclusive vibe. Terrazzo table tops in fresh colours, bespoke banquettes and a purpose built, moveable waiter station with exterior fridge all elevate the customer experience - making this the perfect hidden oasis for sunny days.
