RESTAURANT ANAVIV’S TABLE
415-376-1400 | 600 HOFFMAN BOULEVARD, RICHMOND | TABLE.ANAVIV.COM AN INTIMATE COMMUNAL DINING EXPERIENCE IN RICHMOND
IIn a somewhat desolate industrial
location on Hoffman Boulevard
in Richmond, next to a recycling
yard and across from a Burger King
Restaurant, a unique and fine dining
experience awaits you. Although this
may sound unlikely, once you step
through the door of the warehouse
that houses Anaviv’s Table Restaurant,
you will immediately be exposed to
the warm and cozy elegance of the
dining room as you and a small group
gather around the beautifully set table
for an experience unlike any other in
the local surrounding area.
Anaviv’s Table, which opened
in September 2018, is owned by
30 MARKETPLACECONTRACOSTA.COM JULY 2019
renowned chef, Arnon Oren, who
for over thirteen years has been
providing catering services in the
bay area, offering unique menus
featuring delicious and healthy farmto
table food. Arnon is originally
from Israel and received his culinary
training in France. Prior to starting
his catering businesses, he worked
in several notable bay area kitchens
such as Chez Panisse and Oliveto’s.
His original catering business, Oren’s
Kitchen, previously offered fullservice
catering, but currently focuses
on providing corporate lunches and
meals. A second catering business,
Anaviv’s Catering and Events, which
Arnon launched several years ago,
now handles the full-service catering,
including event planning and floral
design, for small events to those
with up to 500 guests. Chef Oren’s
extremely satisfied catering customers
often remarked that they wished they
could enjoy the delectable cuisine
they’d enjoyed through their catering
experience without having to host
an event. These repeated comments
inspired the eventual opening of
Anaviv’s Table Restaurant, which is
adjacent to Chef Arnon’s commercial
kitchen, where all food preparation
takes place for both catering
businesses.
