We would like to invite you to our restaurant, which offers a variety of western dishes and the best of the tasty, original Chinese cuisine.
In the evening, our brand traveler bar gives you a good opportunity to meet other people in a warm atmosphere or just to relax and get away from it all, enjoying a cool beer.
We also offer free wireless Internet connection in our bar that can be used whenever the bar is open.
