Mixology

“The idea for this selection of signature cocktails was born under the majestic frescoes that adorn the Bar Joséphine, a historical testimony to the strong link between the Lutetia and the graphic arts. Our menu takes you away for a moment into the fascinating world of the “ninth art”, the comic strip. Each cocktail, like a captivating story, evokes a special moment that I want to make unique and precious for everyone, by combining modern and sophisticated flavours.”
