The restaurant is located in one of the central districts of Kyiv, among busy traffic routes.
The main idea is to create the atmosphere of a Mediterranean town. To take the visitor away from the city’s hectic life for a leisurely visit, immersing himself in the atmosphere of a small port, with the opportunity to dive into the depths of the sea.

The complex shape of the restaurant premises immediately suggested the motive of the future design – two halls, like the bays of a port city, flow into each other. They are united by a fish market with fresh catch just under the sail of fishermen and completed by a summer terrace – an exit from the port to the city. And there is nothing better in the traditions of the Mediterranean than combining fresh fish with a family winery.

The interior is soaked in deep sea blue with bright snow-white accents: sails and tablecloths. Many details create the atmosphere of the port.

A wall with an image of the terrible lord of the seas, the whale from Konrad von Gesner’s “Animal History.” It was tamed to protect the exquisite treasures of our restaurant – a collection of bottles of selected wine, which, according to legend, is created in the nearby hills.

On the ceiling connecting both halls, sea waves sway in smooth curves, playing with rays of warmth, like sunlight from many light bulbs, twist into a vortex, drawing the visitor to explore the entire space, explore both halls.

Rope columns – carefully stacked gear, without which the life of the port is impossible, attract attention with the skill of their execution.

A communal table resting on a coral reef is for a large team that came to town to celebrate a successful trip loudly. Behind them is a wine cabinet with a shimmering surface of mesh facades.

One of the accents of the interior is the guest area, with elements on the wall resembling scales or seashells. We offer the guest the to fantasize.

We have created a cozy corner for a family that wants to be alone in the company of goldfish, make a wish, and get pleasure from the evening – visual and taste.
