Kleiner Olymp, German restaurant in Schnoor district, Bremen, Germany
Kleiner Olymp is a restaurant in Bremen's Schnoor district spread across three floors with dining areas on the ground and first levels. A private room upstairs can accommodate small groups for separate gatherings.
The building dates to 1700 and originally served the city as an office for rampart overseers. It became a mustard factory in the 1800s before being converted to a restaurant in 1963.
The name comes from a 1940s French film and reflects how the place evolved from an artistic hub into a student gathering spot. This character is still visible in the kinds of people who visit and how they use the space.
The restaurant opens daily in the afternoon and serves North German food specialties. Most common credit cards are accepted for easy payment without cash.
Since 1999 the restaurant has brewed its own beer called Schnoor Bräu, a dark Pilsner-style beer with its own taste. This house-made beer is served only here and has become a signature of the place.
