Small Bars and Restaurants: 14 Projects Less than 50 m2 in Latin America

When designing spaces with reduced dimensions, adopting an efficient configuration and distribution is crucial for the user experience and the smooth development of activities and tasks to be carried out. In the case of bars and restaurants, numerous architecture and interior design professionals strive daily to meet the needs of clients, employees, and employers, considering everything from necessary installations and technologies to services, atmospheres, and furniture suitable for the type of gastronomy to be consumed.

Whether arranged on corner lots, between party walls, or scattered in common areas, various strategies, instruments, and tools allow for achieving quality spaces with flexibility and adaptability to the new challenges of today. Below, we selected 14 projects distributed throughout Latin American territory that do not exceed 50 square meters and give rise to bars and restaurants of various characteristics and styles.
