The cafeteria and restaurant are located at the entrance to WU Campus in the „Executive Building”.
The spacious garden terrace in front of the cafeteria Comida y Pan is to be seen from the subway station. The bright design and the huge white lamps should not only serve as symbols for recognition, but also invite the guests from afar to stay. The white wooden set up on the terrace is inspired by the Vienna Prater-flair and works as a subtle reminder of the near surrounding of the WU Campus.
If the garden is a link between the near Prater and the cafeteria, the strict separation of indoor and outdoor is repealed by many windows and sliding doors. By generous windows the cafeteria is not only connected with the garden but also with the rest of the building.
The height of the guest room in the cafeteria is particularly set in scene with unique hanging lamps. A cozy little room has been set up at the end of the bar, which can also be used for private events. Previous door frames were used as bottle racks, which separate the private booth space from the rest of the cafeteria and still maintain a connection by being mostly transparent.
