Momento Plus Opens Two Restaurants at Sofia Airport Center

Momento Plus, a concept that blends fast food, sit-down service and catering, is about to open two restaurants at Sofia Airport Center (SAC), which was recently crowned Building of the Year for 2012.

Tishman International Companies' building will accommodate one Momento Plus four-star restaurant and a fast food outlet.

They will spread over 705 square meters within SAC and will be located in the center of the complex, near the lake.

The restaurants will be surrounded by well-maintained green park, open terraces and a parking lot.

The first clients will be welcomed in April 2013.
