The interior matches the calm setting implied by its location near the city’s swimming opera venue—simple, inviting, and geared towards making visitors linger comfortably. You’ll find a down-to-earth vibe here, where conversations flow easily, whether it’s catching up with friends or striking up a chat with the staff.
