Interior design of a street food restaurant

Flatbread is a gourmet and relaxed concept of quality dining imagined by top chef Baptiste Trudel. Located just steps from Place de la République, this street-food-inspired restaurant offers carefully crafted products and recipes in a setting that is both raw and welcoming.

This commercial architecture project combines sharp, linear forms with soft materials and lighting that soften the angles.

The kitchen is positioned at the center of the layout. It is clad in black zellige tiles, whose graphic look contrasts with stainless-steel elements, creating a sense of depth from the restaurant entrance.

Running lengthwise and perpendicular, the preparation counter welcomes customers face-to-face with the chefs, offering immediate and transparent service. The choice of tiles aligns with the overall aesthetic of strong patinas and nuanced tones.

For the other counters, the choice fell on wood paired with a bronze mirror that embraces the dining room and creates a sense of comfort. Additional mirrors contribute to a natural extension of the space.

For the finishes, lime-plastered walls combined with raw concrete flooring create a cohesive and harmonious ensemble.

In the basement, the architect played with existing features, including a brick vault and the original staircase. Continuing along this staircase, the restrooms reveal a red ambiance inspired by the iconic aesthetics of the Twin Peaks series.

The facade of the restaurant echoes the interior design, tying the whole project together. A deep black, highlighted by a finely gilded logo, brings clarity and depth to the restaurant's entrance.
