You enter around the side and ascend to the open air balcony with vine wrapped trellises and large hanging wooden screens. Large ceilings both inside and out add to the light and airy feeling, a feeling of grandeur. Oversized dark wooden doors fold back welcoming you in as the fresh white walls and worn wood floors provide the basis for a down to earth atmosphere. Large pieces of art in muted but beautiful colors adorn the wall and a salvaged worn door against the far wall looks more like a fixture of art then a functioning furnishing. The room is completed with painted dark wood seating with cozy cushions in shades of burgundy creating inviting areas for relaxing, dining and conversation. The food and drink selection are a treat as well.
Frequented by foreigners it is not difficult to see why so many choose to pass away the day here.
A woman in a flowing red and white flowered dress sits straight and poised as her fingers click fervently on her small travel sized laptop.
A more seasoned woman sits in a bright blue top and crisp white skirt at the table behind her also engaged in whatever is being displayed on the screen in front of her but with less determination.
A mixed group of loud foreigners stopped in briefly for lunch, but they have gone and the soft jazzy notes are all that can be heard now.
