In the first days of May social media was filled with photos from a new type of restaurant in Amsterdam. The Corona crisis has challenged all restaurants and they have to think innovative. Traditional restaurants have changed into take away spots. And indoor dinner has had to be moved outside in order to keep the recommended distance.

The pictures from the Netherlands have inspired the Danish food company Meyers, and as the atmosphere has spread online, Meyers has contacted Juliana Greenhouses A/S who love the idea of outdoor dining rooms as a place to meet and enjoy dinner.

The greenhouses are delivered by the Danish greenhouse company Juliana Greenhouses A/S who, despite their busyness with delivering greenhouses to all the Danes who are sent home from work, could not say no to the idea.

“We have through many years experienced a change in the functionality of greenhouses, and the purpose of a greenhouse is now much more than just growing tomatoes and cucumbers. It is amazing to see how the greenhouse works as a restaurant now,” says Nikolaj Stærmose, who is third-generation owner and CEO of Juliana Greenhouses A/S.

He continues: “Being able to sit inside, while still being outside is what is great about greenhouses, not only for plants but for humans too, and many are realizing that now.”
