Budapest McDonald’s among most elegant worldwide

Almost every aspect of Hungary’s first McDonald’s restaurant on Régiposta (Olt Post) Street has been renovated. The project was completed for the 35th anniversary of the brand’s presence in Hungary. The renovation was completed with globally unique interior design solutions.

The first McDonald’s in the country, rebuilt by Market, has opened with interior design solutions that are unique in the world, Magyar Építők reports. The interior design is based on high quality materials used in exclusive restaurants. The project lasted four months and cost nearly HUF one billion (EUR 2.5 million). We wrote about the closure HERE, and about the reopening HERE. We also reported that the revamped fast food restaurant was opened by a Michelin-starred Hungarian star chef.

The redevelopment of McDonald’s iconic restaurant goes beyond the usual refurbishments of the rest of the chain. Using real natural elements, it reopened its doors in an exclusive new design. The interiors are dominated by black and gold, which add elegance and luxury to the space, Magyar Építők adds. The interior, a collaboration between Australian design studio Landini and Hungarian interior designer Géza Sass, echoes the elegant stone exterior of the restaurant.

The tables are not only made of real wood, but also of granite, like the side wall of the service counter. The exclusive look also extended to the lampshades, which were made of copper.

This use of materials is completely unique in the McDonald’s world, even by international standards.
