On the ground floor, the bar area is anchored with a marble counter top lined with bright blue lounge chairs that can seat guests out in the open, but for those seeking a more subdued atmosphere, make a move to the upstairs mezzanine. Although brown wooden chairs, marble tables and green and sandy pink walls are still the protagonists, in the back more intimate lighting takes over, making it a great place to transition to for come later on in the day where the shadows of the ample greenery become darker and more atmospheric --proving that Bar Botanique was completely justified in adding, very charmingly, Café Tropique to its newfangled name.
