After a break of about 80 years the \u2018Grand Caf\u00e9 Orient\u2019 has re-opened. It is on the first floor of the House of the Black Madonna. This building symbolizes the unique Czech contribution to the cubist movement not only in architecture but in furniture, pottery and glass. The House of the Black Madonna was created by the renowned architect Josef Go\u010d\u00e1r when he was only 31 years old. The caf\u00e9 within the house remained open for a mere ten years or so but closed in the 1920\u2019s when cubism fell out of fashion. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Happily this state of affairs has changed and one finds caf\u00e9s in Secession, Art Deco and Art Nouveau style all over the world. The Grand Caf\u00e9 Orient, the ancestor of all of them, remains the most significant and elegant. The cubist aspects of the house are displayed not only by its frontage and floor-plan but in the internal furnishings in the caf\u00e9. These include a beautiful cubist buffet-bar and other furnishings and elegant lights and lanterns all designed by Josef Go\u010d\u00e1r. Please come and enjoy the atmosphere, beauty and elegance of caf\u00e9 GRAND CAFE ORIENT in the House of the Black Madonna.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We will be delighted to organise routs, graduation and birthday parties, company presentations and meetings etc. Seating capacity 90 places.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
