| At
the new restaurant designed by Ayala Serfaty in Eilat, on the Riviera
of the Red Sea, you can sip champagne and dine at the bottom of the
exotic bay.
The Red Sea
Star, feels like an aquatic set for Alice in Wonderland. Have a
seaweed salad on a coral table, sit on an anemone bar-stools and
stare at the starfish lamps through your martini glass.
Submerged 20
feet below sea level and 300 feet offshore at the bottom of Eilat
bay, the restaurant is the new "must visit" place in this
hip resort town at the southernmost tip of Israel.
Imagine a dreamy cave where you can experience the odd sensation
of staring into the eyes of a flute fish while sipping a cocktail,
or enjoying a gourmet meal. Would you dare to order the seafood
special?
The site, just
north of the famous underwater observatory and next to the newly
opened Le Meridien Hotel and the trendy club hotel , is well-placed
to attract a devoted clientele. First the owners installed three
large sunken steel tanks built and welded together by an oil-container
company. Then the designer "Serfaty"
was called in to configure and design the interior.
