Cephanelik Restaurant & Cafe 5.93

"1918 yılında Rus işgali sırasında büyük bir patlamayla tahrip olan bu binanın, geçmişteki kullanım maksadı isminden de anlaşıldığı gibi cephanelikti ve 1887 yılında Sultan Abdülhamit Han tarafından Sultan Fatih'ten kalma bir yapının yerine inşa edildiği bilinmektedir. Ayrıca 1300 lü yıllara kadar uzanan ve imparatoriçe İrene tarafından toplantı maksatlı bir mekan olmasından söz edilmektedir.

Tasarım aşamasında tarihi konuma hiç dokunulmadan, tamamlayıcı unsurlardan istifade edilerek çalışma yapılmasına özen gösterilmiştir. Tesissimizin açılış aşamasına gelene kadar isimsiz bir çok fedakar insanların katkılarından istifade edilmiştir.

Tesis bin kişiye gün içinde yeni bir yaşam tarzı sunabilecek kapasiteye sahip hale getirilmiştir. Gerek hemşerilerimizin gerekse Trabzon'u turistik seyahatler için tercih etmiş olan misafirlerimizin kentimizin güzellikleriyle buluşmasına vesile olacaktır.

Tesisimizin günlük restoran ve kafe hizmetlerinin yanında, sahip olduğu imkanlarla her türlü organizasyona da hizmet verecektir.
