The well-established Israeli restaurant group "Doctor Brothers" has won the tender to operate the dining space formerly occupied by the iconic "Vicky Christina" restaurant in Tel Aviv's Station Complex. This move comes after the group recently closed their "Ivy" restaurant due to a real estate redevelopment project and lost a competitive bid for the legendary "Manta Ray" restaurant space on the beachfront, where they had planned to relocate "Ivy."
The Doctor Brothers, known for their flagship Tel Aviv restaurant "The Brothers" and "Doc," emphasize local ingredients and are now preparing to launch a new culinary concept at the Station Complex. The exact nature of the new restaurant has not been disclosed, but it will not be a reopening of "Ivy." The group described the closure of "Ivy" in February as a planned transition, expressing gratitude to their patrons and staff and signaling a search for a new location to continue their culinary journey.
The Station Complex, situated between Neve Tzedek and the beachfront, has struggled for years to attract consistent visitors despite significant investment in architectural preservation. The closure of "Vicky Christina," one of the few venues drawing evening crowds, marked a low point for the area. Industry observers are now watching closely to see if the Doctor Brothers' experience and reputation can revitalize the complex and attract new patrons to this challenging but historic part of Tel Aviv.
