A new upscale dining complex, Cala Vera, has opened on Tayo Beach in Bat Yam, featuring a 250-seat Mediterranean restaurant. The project represents an investment of 8 million shekels (approximately $2.3 million), with funding contributed by the Bat Yam municipality and the Cafe Landwer chain. Chef Ohad Levi, known for his work at prominent Israeli restaurants and his recent opening of Lili in Eilat, developed the menu, which focuses on Israeli-Mediterranean cuisine using local fish and vegetables.
The menu offers a range of dishes, from raw fish preparations to grilled items cooked in a high-temperature josper oven, alongside shareable plates. Highlights include sea fish sashimi, crispy fish cigars, and entrecote skewers. The restaurant's design emphasizes its beachfront location with a clean aesthetic, natural materials, and light colors, aiming to integrate the sea into the dining experience.
Cala Vera is scheduled to open to the public on October 11 and will operate daily from 5 PM to 11 PM at 60 David Ben-Gurion Boulevard, Bat Yam. This opening marks the first phase of a significant culinary and design transformation for Tayo Beach. In the spring, a beach bar named Cala will join the restaurant, creating a combined venue designed to transition seamlessly from dining to beachside leisure.

He expressed a desire to build a place that respects its environment while also drawing patrons for its food, service, and atmosphere, aiming for repeat visits. He described the opening as the realization of their vision.
