"welcoming and inviting" sounds more than a bit redundant, but I think your translation, generally speaking, conveys the right idea.

Can I try a different answer?? Full of character, the restaurant could not be more inviting. What do you think??

'welcoming' would also be OK in place of 'inviting'
