About a year and a half ago, 416 – one of Tel Aviv's best-known vegan eateries – burned down.

The fire was not the result of arson, but the damage was estimated at hundreds of thousands of shekels.
The owners opted to launch a crowd funding campaign, which raised 600,000 shekels ($183,000) in two weeks. At the same time, they sought out temporary alternative premises to make sure the restaurant staff had work.
Eventually, the owners set their sights on the TLV shopping mall on Hashmonaim St., only one street away from the original location. For a year and a half, 416 will replace the Cafeteria restaurant that used to operate in the same space. The new location offers 2,000 square feet of seating space and an additional 1,500 square feet of outside dining space.
In addition to the restaurant itself, the 416 pop-up will offer a café, a vegan deli, and a cocktail bar.
