ALICANTE. He hospitality group Voltereta Fusion expands the transformation project old Navas cinema in Alicante in a gastronomic space themed with an architectural proposal that extends to the roof itself of the building. The reconversion designed by the Valencian group includes the installation of a large glass window as a skylight that allows reinforcing the natural luminosity of the space, which has led to the reformulation of the license application to incorporate that specific intervention on the structure of the property, since it is an action that has the consideration of major work.
In fact, municipal sources consulted confirmed that Conversion work has been suspended until the granting of the permit adjusted to the new project is processed, after a neighborhood complaint motivated the intervention of the Urban Planning Department and it was confirmed that The works could not be developed under the umbrella of the registration of a responsible declaration with which the start of the works had been covered, in the summer of 2022.
Sources consulted stressed that the adjustment of the project was formalized two weeks ago with the expectation that the renovation of the old cinema can resume at the beginning of 2024, between mid-January and early February. With this, the start-up of the restaurant is delayed, at least, until the middle of next year, since other elements of the project aside from the roof remain pending completion, like the same reconfiguration of your access from Navas Street.
The truth is that the need to obtain a major work permit would have meant a setback in the programming managed by Voltereta so that the inauguration could be formalized of the restaurant. Initially, the group had come to consider the possibility that its main gastronomic bet for the city of Alicante – apart from the themed burger restaurant One Hotel, on La Rambla avenue – could open its doors this autumn or, in any case, before the end of 2023.
A ‘gastronomic journey’ to be revealed
Meanwhile, continues without revealing the label or destiny definitive name that will give the name to the restaurant on which all its theming and interior design will revolve., as happens in the rest of the Voltereta establishments located in the city of Valencia. Specifically, the group has four restaurants themed around four different aesthetic and gastronomic proposals: Kyoto, Bali, Manhattan and Home.
Kyoto It specializes in Japanese food; Bali in the Indonesian gastronomic tradition, with dishes to share and eat with your hands; Manhattan It offers a combination of various types of cuisine, without leaving aside the burgers; and Casa does a wink to the traditional food dishes and to the dishes of the grandmother. Although in all of them you have the option of choosing some of the proposals offered in the rest of the group’s restaurants.
In the case of the new Voltereta proposal This commitment to offering a gastronomic trip that transports the diner to a specific place in the world will be maintained.with a careful recreation of its most characteristic features to provide an experience as immersive as possible, on the foundations of the old cinema, which It closed its doors to the public in March 2020with the first confinement after the outbreak of the covid pandemic.
Until then, the Navas was the oldest cinema in Alicante and the only one that survived in the single-screen format. It was built and inaugurated at the end of the 70s of the 20th century and took the name of the street on which it is located, Las Navas de Tolosa, in the heart of the Center of Alicante. The architects participated in its construction project. Guillermo Lopez y Miguel Ángel Villar. In its period of greatest capacity, it had about 800 seats, although a recent remodeling reduced that figure to 650. After its definitive closure, Voltereta closed an agreement for the lease of the building to locate its theme restaurant in the heart of Alicante.
