Two floors, one awning, a lot of plants

The whole place is bleached — chalk walls, a cream awning, boards gone silver in the sun — and then painted furniture and planting are set against it.

The counter carries the only thing here anyone has drawn.

The covered deck at Tonea's Brunch Bar — a long dark table, director's chairs and an olive tree against a whitewashed wall — The deck, looking back towards the counter

The deck

Timber boards run the length of the counter under one awning. A long dark table stands against the whitewashed wall on a built-in bench with cushions, an olive tree stands at its head, and director's chairs pull up along the open side. Woven shades hang over the pass; a bracket fan turns above them. The front of the counter is drawn over, wall to wall, with a line of broad leaves.

Green folding bistro tables and wooden armchairs on a planted terrace under spear-leaved trees — The upper terrace, planted and part-shaded

The terrace

A second terrace sits behind and above the deck, floored in pale planks and planted rather than built. Folding bistro tables in green and wooden armchairs with pale cushions stand between banana leaves and spear-leaved trees, with a pergola along one edge and louvred shutters set into the wall behind.
