The development was designed to retain key elements of the building’s historical character. These include a wall decorated with clocks showing the local time in cities around the world, the distinctive central clock and architectural features associated with the former bus terminal.
The preserved elements have been combined with McDonald’s “Cube” interior concept, which has not previously been used in Hungary.
The design was inspired by the experience of opening a Happy Meal box and features geometric forms, warm colors and details referencing the brand’s smile motif.
A custom wall graphic also depicts important moments in the history of Erzsébet Square and the building, as well as changes in the site’s role as a community space.
The company said the aim was to create a friendly, playful and modern environment while preserving the historical and architectural value of the location.
The new Terminal restaurant follows McDonald’s units on Régiposta Street and at Nyugati Square as another distinctive location in the company’s Hungarian network.
McDonald’s said the opening also marks another milestone in its domestic development program.
The company now operates 127 restaurants in Hungary and has continued to expand its network while introducing new digital services and modern restaurant solutions.
