About Us

A Story Given New Life

The building that now houses Park Art of Rest is part of the city’s cultural history. Built in 1952 as the Druzhba Cinema, it long served as a place of meetings, shared impressions, and collective emotions.

After years of decline, the space was carefully restored, and in 2017 the restaurant complex Park Art of Rest opened here — with respect for the past and a renewed meaning.

The main restaurant hall is located on the site of the former cinema auditorium, while preserved and restored architectural elements have become part of the contemporary interior. Its location within the Park of Culture allows guests to experience the calm of nature, despite the close proximity to the city center.

Mission and Vision of Park Art of Rest

The mission of Park Art of Rest is to create a space of restoration, where guests can slow down, feel genuine care, and simply be themselves. We grow together with our guests and remain close during the most important moments of their lives — from quiet family evenings to grand celebrations.

Our vision is to be a restaurant that is chosen and trusted across generations — a place that preserves quality, consistency, and reputation regardless of time, trends, or change.

Values That Shape the Experience

At Park Art of Rest, we believe that a true restaurant begins with quality. That is why special attention is given to gastronomy — from the careful selection of ingredients to thoughtful flavor combinations and a consistently high level of cuisine worth returning to.

Equally important to us is refined service, where guest comfort is not a one-time gesture, but a lasting standard. Here, care does not need to be requested — it is felt from the very first moment.

Hospitality at Park Art of Rest has a homelike character. We welcome every guest as truly desired, creating an atmosphere of warmth, trust, and openness. Special attention is given to families and our youngest guests, for whom the restaurant space should be just as comfortable and safe.

We recognize our social and environmental responsibility, care for the environment in which we operate, and support a culture of conscious consumption. At the same time, teamwork remains a core value — because only through shared effort, where the result is always greater than the sum of individual contributions, can we create service and experiences of a truly high standard.

A Space for Events and Relaxation

Park Art of Rest is a restaurant complex that brings together several spaces for different event formats:

  • main restaurant hall — up to 120 guests
  • two separate terraces surrounded by park greenery — up to 50 guests during the warm season
  • VIP hall — an intimate space for up to 20 guests
  • event hall on the second floor — up to 250 guests for weddings, and up to 300 guests for conferences and large-scale events

For more than 8 years, Park Art of Rest has been a place where weddings, birthdays, banquets, receptions, business events, and family celebrations of various scales take place.

Park Art of Rest is a restaurant with a story — a space of restoration and trust, created with a vision for the years ahead.
