The restaurant is located in the building at Vaļņu Street 9, designed by Swiss architect René Gershelman in 1914. The magnificent interior, created in 1930 by the architect Krišjānis Grante, has been preserved in Monterosso to this day.
Originally, this building was home to Reiner’s chess café where virtuosos of this game stopped by. Even grandmaster Salo Flohr, a contender for the title of world champion, played chess games here.
