The restaurant is the latest initiative from the charity Mensajeros de la Paz – meaning messengers of peace – which was founded 54 years ago by Father Angel García Rodríguez.
Its business model – using breakfast and lunch takings from paying customers to fund free evening meals for the homeless – is simple enough. Its aim, however, is a little more ambitious.

| People with nothing can come and eat here in the restaurant and get the same treatment as everyone else |
“The inspiration came the pope who’s spoken again and again about the importance of giving people dignity, whether it’s through bread or through work,” said Father Angel.
“So we thought, why not open a restaurant with tablecloths and proper cutlery and waiters? People with nothing can come and eat here in the restaurant and get the same treatment as everyone else. It’s just common sense.
Dignity a ship we all need to sail on.
Seldom do you hear of such ideas but this one is full of dignity
often Church projects get subtly taken over like a similar venture near where l live,
although the Church where live is not relevant. Having a rudderless direction
and full of problems from finance to` ugly spirituality` further old cold buildings
this project is rooted working to meet the client base it has always strove to connect with.
Again many `Faith of Christ projects` ignore the client base and cater for any but those it was intended to serve !
