Yucca is located at Mansion 26F in Sinan Mansions, in a prominent, traditionally-styled building of the former Shanghai French Concession. The building is the headquarters of Yucca’s creator, Australian-Greek renowned Chef David Laris, and it also houses three of his other restaurants: The Fat Olive, a Greek trattoria, 12 Chairs, a new premium dining and The Funky Chicken, a new venture in chic fast food. Perched on the third floor, Yucca is a swanky Mexican lounge featuring modern chic atmosphere and eyecatching décor with a mismatch of styles and colors.

The word “Mexican” vis-à-vis restaurants and bars tends to conjure up a host of tired old clichés and stereotypes: cacti, sombreros, holsters, bandoliers, cracked stucco exposing faux adobe bricks or the obligatory Frida Kahlo portrait for those places attempting to “class it up”. The two designers – Thomas Dariel & Benoit Arfeuillere – behind Yucca did not want any of that. Far from being folkloric, Yucca pays homage to the rich visual cultures of Latin America and the Iberian Peninsula.

Fashionably Latin, Yucca’s quirky yet chic and sleek interior design features a rich combination of shocking colors. The walls are splashed in vivid hues of blue and pink, the floor is a study in part with a mosaic of tailored blue and white tiles in geometric formations laid out at haphazard angles. A photograph of blue-hued women festooned with Moorish designs extends from the entrance up the double-high wall to the top-floor lounge. A spiral staircase leads to a tiny lounge area for private parties where ones can overlook the entire space and feel the vibes coming up. The glowing glass-topped marble bar with the inscription “DESEO FUERZA AMOR LUJURIA” embodies the spirit of the space. Color combination, pattern on the floor, natural light arrangement, etc.: working together, these elements promote close interaction among the people enjoying their time in this room. Definitely for social purposes, it is as cheerful as inspiring. Intimate, Yucca is a place intended for mixing and mingling.
“We imagined an exuberant place where one can go to be inspired, a place where your imagination can run free and you can be inspired by your friends,” Yucca’s crazy, modern Mexican feel conjures up thoughts of Salvador Dali, Diego Rivera and Frida Kahlo. Religious undertones, spanish-style custom-made mosaics, vibrant and eclectic blues tall candelabra, catholic crosses, elaborate flooring, paisley armchairs, iron gates, a sheer number of elements bringing this spirit of exuberance while being warm, cosy and harmonious.

Yucca坐落在思南公馆26F, 在上海老法租界的一幢醒目的传统风格的建筑中 。这幢楼是 Yucca 的创始人，著名的希腊裔澳大利亚厨师 David Laris的总部，也涵盖了他的另外三家餐厅： The Fat Olive,希腊休闲小馆；12 Chairs, 新的高级餐厅及 The Funky Chicken,一家时髦快餐厅。坐落在三楼， Yucca 是一家时髦的以现代摩登氛围和抓人眼球的设计装修为特色的墨西哥餐厅。

“墨西哥”这个词和餐厅，酒吧联系起来总会让人想到 一系列固定的套路：仙人掌，宽檐帽，插袋手枪，子弹带，暴露出人造砖块的裂开的灰泥墙或者为了所谓的“上档次”而可以放置的Frida Kahlo肖像画。两位设计师－ Thomas Dariel & Benoit Arfeuillere- Yucca背后的创意者不想要其中的任何一个概念。区别于一般的老套， Yucca向拉美和伊比利亚半岛丰富的视觉文化致敬。时髦拉丁风， Yucca时髦华丽的室内设计以丰富的有冲击力的色彩搭配为特色。墙面用生动的蓝色和分红粉刷，地板使用了随机铺设的蓝白相间的几何图案的马赛克。 一副蓝色背景的女人照片从入口一直延伸到酒吧顶层，旋转楼梯引向顶楼私密空间，在这里你可以俯瞰整个酒吧，感受热烈的气氛。

刻有警句“DESEO FUERZA AMOR LUJURIA”的大理石吧台体现了空间的精神。色彩搭配，地板的图案，自然光的使用等各元素使来宾在酒吧这个空间里更加互动。打造亲密的气氛，Yucca创造了另人愉悦兴奋的社交氛围。

“我们希望打造一个能激发灵感的场所，在这里，想像力可以自由驰骋，朋友们也可以互相寻找灵感” Yucca的迷人，现代的墨西哥感觉来自于 Salvador Dali, Diego Rivera and Frida Kahlo的灵感激发。

其宗教基调，西班牙样式的定制马赛克，鲜明不拘一格的蓝色，枝状大烛台，天主教十字架, 精制地板，螺旋纹手扶椅，铁门，一系列元素打造了一个丰富热烈又温暖，舒适和谐的Yucca。
