60 Rue Charlot, 75003 Paris, France
Well worth the excellent reviews and awards elsewhere. A lot of thought behind the menu. The staff are so efficient that you would never think that so much effort went into prepping the drinks. 5 star service across the board. If I could give it 6 stars I would.
One of the most unique menus at a cocktail bar I’ve had. They also change the menu every year; it takes a long time to craft such a holistic and creative menu. If you get a seat at the bar, the bartenders are very nice and knowledgeable. Many of the drinks are magical and awesome experiences. The sweet without honey features a miracle berry that distorts your perception of taste and is a great last drink. If you enjoy spice, I really liked both the spicy without chili (which comes with a ginseng tea that intensifies the spice) and chili without spicy.
Super well designed menu. I loved how they played with the flavor pairing on it, it was a really creative way of experimenting. And not just that, the execution was expertly done, as well. Very friendly staff to top it all off and make it into a lovely experience!
Marginally pretentious? Yes. Do they have the mixologists to back it up? Definitely! I would definitely recommend going outside of peak tourist season as the queue to get inside is quite long but the drinks are incredible. Would not recommend if you're looking for a cheap night.
Coolest bar I have ever been to in my life. Concept is so creative and unique. Thank you Laurent for all your help!
