Walk-out basement (here maybe just "(walkout) lower storey"?)

A Hanggeschoß is a lower storey on a house that is built on a slope, so it opens at the front and is built into/underground by the back, as shown e.g. here http://www.holzbau-weizenegger.de/architektur/projekte/einfa... or here https://hoch2.bpd-frankfurt.de/Haus-439

This is called a walk-out basement or daylight basement:

I'm not sure how well the term "basement" conjures the right imagery for a restaurant though. You might want to try rephrasing the whole thing, e.g. "... lower storeys were built into the slope below the first house..."
Note from asker:
THANK YOU!
Peer comment(s):
agree Michael Bailey : would go for lower storey/level as basement tends to have negative connotations in terms of lack of light

lower ground floor

frequently used for buildings built into the side of a hill where there is a level below the entry level (ground floor)

particularly where the lower ground level is open on one side rather than subterranean

although I can't for the life of me grasp how it could be floors but that's what the German says...

neutral Michael Bailey : storey or storeys - "story" bzw. "stories" = Geschichte(n)
