From Private Home to Culinary Landmark: A Building’s Evolution

Anthé and Amphi are more than just dining establishments; they are custodians of a rich local history. The building itself began as a 19th-century private home and has undergone several fascinating transformations over the decades. It has previously housed a boutique named YAKA HOME DESIGN, run by the French designer Mme. Dominique Heil, and later, a restaurant known as DIS DIS & CO. under Mr. Obendiren. Each iteration has added a layer to its unique character. Today, as Anthé & Amphi, it proudly continues this legacy, captivating diners with a perfect blend of old-world elegance and modern sophistication, making every visit a journey through time.
