Calma Tapasbar

With more than 400 seats, Bistro Francais is the largest combined restaurant and cafe in Scandinavia. The 1,200-square metre venue is located at Kungsportsavenyn, the main boulevard in Gothenburg, Sweden. Bistro Francais is also fully licensed and serves a French cuisine with an international flavour. The entrance floor is divided into two parts: the actual entrance Porte de Paris and Trochadero, which transforms into a bar with a disc jockey in the evening. The second floor is made up of two entresol planes: Le Salon Royal, and Le Boudoir, where fine-dining mix with afternoon tea. The top floor features an outdoor terrace with a glass ceiling, and is inspired by a French orangery. Next to it, there is the VIP-room La Galerie des Curiosites. The magazine The Cool Hunter praised the design writing: “The slightly mad scale and the magical distortion of proportions, combined with an elegant use of color and texture, make the four-story restaurant into a fantastic experience.
