Well, that's all fine and dandy, but there's more here than meets the eye. Hidden amongst the multi-textured leaves and blooms is a door that leads to - surprise! - a bar/cafe. And as if there weren't enough greenery on the outside of this clandestine eatery, the inside is a veritable jungle filled with ferns, palms and even a flower shop!1
