The Plaza cinema was located here for five decades. Now Mint Architecture implemented a gastronomy concept on several floors. It includes a restaurant, a bar and an event room.

All floors are connected by stairs in different colors. The core of the room is a large cube with impressive perforated grid. It covers the function of kitchen and bar. Even in former times, the center of attention was here – as the screen was located there.

Other guidelines of the interior concept are more subtle: The restaurants holds very high sustainability standards. The different balcony levels vary in style and connect to film classics.

Look out for the golden-yellow wall fabric that reminds of cinemas of the past
