The Estrel’s new favourite place
Healthy, sustainable and very chic: The Estrel Berlin employee restaurant
The name alone points the way: "Lieblingsplatz" translated as "favorite place" - that's the name of the Estrel Berlin's employee restaurant. It is clear from the many positive reactions of the employees that the name was chosen very aptly.
Healthy food, sustainability and, above all, a feel-good ambience are the focus of the Lieblingsplatz: high-quality modern design with lots of light wood, decorative tiles, Italian design wallpaper in a palazzo look and a well thought-out lighting concept. A total of 100 seats are available to Estrel employees. Here, they have the option of choosing their seat entirely according to their communication needs: There are, among other things, tables for two for more privacy, a quiet, cozy seating niche with a coffee house ambience, but also a long table for 16 people, which forms the visual center of the restaurant with red chairs and invites cross-departmental communication. The clearing station was housed in a separate room and thus completely removed from view.
The open kitchen with a front cooking station offers a diverse and healthy range of dishes. There is fresh cooking daily, plus a diverse salad bar with numerous superfood components. Main dishes are available daily, as well as a variety of appetizers, desserts and snacks. Of course, there are vegetarian, vegan and religion-compliant offerings to suit the diversity of employees at Estrel. Water, coffee and tea are complimentary, while soft drinks and specialty coffees can be purchased spereat. In addition two microwaves are available for employees who bring their own food.
Sustainability also plays an important role: The employee restaurant is completely plastic- and disposable-free. With a modern payment system, employees can make cashless payments with their staff card, which they use for all doors as well as the automated locker system.
