For my fourth and last post about Pink Mamma, my favorite restaurant experience during my European Trip, I feature details I observed around the establishment. My wife and I had a long and enjoyable lunch, and luckily, the crowds thinned out. I was able to capture scenes without other customers.
Combine this post with the previous two, which feature the environment and the food, and you will get a good sense of the place.
Like the mismatched plates, Pink Mamma’s design purposely combines a variety of seating that isn’t uniform throughout the restaurant. Look at these four images and marvel at the variety.
I noticed someone’s order being delivered and snapped this picture — more mismatched places topped with delectable food.
Even the bathroom was stylish. Yes, I had my camera with me, as I often do. Of course, you need to be careful shooting inside a bathroom, and I made sure I was alone.
The light-filled staircase topped with large windows is a key design element that ties the three floors together. The walls were covered with an astounding variety of artwork that seemed difficult to pull off. Yet, it looks harmonious even though every piece is different.
I took a picture of the first floor through the window from the outside since I didn’t walk through that part of the restaurant. As you can see, every floor is unique and visually enticing.
Pink Mamma is an odd name, and this mat by the entrance makes fun of itself. You can tell it’s an establishment that doesn’t take itself too seriously. Yet the mismatched design is deliberately done, creating a comfortable, welcoming environment. All this would be for naught if the food weren’t spectacular — which it was.
If I ever return to Paris, Pink Mamma will beat the top of the list for another visit.
