A good glass of wine, a nice meal and intriguing striking art with an African theme is the latest attraction at the Hotel Plevna off Qui-Si-Sana, attracting hotel guests and patrons to drop in during the day or to relax in the early evening.

The Plevna management has called its Café/Wine Bar the Le Roy. This was the name of the popular hotel and restaurant which became part of the Plevna.

A warm atmosphere induced by the parquet and all-wood furniture currently combines a painting exhibition, presented in different mediums by C.S. Lawrence, an artist of Maltese and Irish descent.

C.S. Lawrence was born in East Africa and spent her childhood in Nairobi and Mombasa. She moved to Malta in 2000 and has made a seamless progression from the Orient to the island.

The artist has previously exhibited in Malta. Her paintings reflect, in part, a dynamic combination of her skills, her early upbringing and extensive travels.

Those at the Le Roy focus on men and women of North Africa and the Middle East, also catching the appreciative eye with their hint of mystery.

“A quiet, relaxing, yet stimulating atmosphere” is the running theme of observations made by patrons of the Le Roy Café/Wine Bar.
