BAR ANTOINE X LE SYNDICAT: A ONE-NIGHT-ONLY PARIS-MEETS-MAYFAIR COLLABORATION
Paris comes to Mayfair this September as Bar Antoine welcomes one of the French capital’s most acclaimed cocktail bars, Le Syndicat, for an exclusive one-night-only takeover on Wednesday 30 September.
A regular on The World’s 50 Best Bars extended list, Le Syndicat has built an international following for its fiercely French approach to cocktails, championing homegrown spirits and ingredients and reinventing them through bold, unconventional serves.
For one night, the Le Syndicat team – including Founder Romain Le Mouëllic, Bar Director Svaja and Bartender Raf – will step behind the bar at Bar Antoine, joining Bar Manager Leon Gasco for a six-cocktail menu bringing together two very different expressions of modern French drinking culture.
Le Syndicat will bring three of its signature serves to London from its new Sang Neuf menu (meaning ‘new blood’), including the Meloné, combining Hennessy VSOP with cantaloupe melon, Chardonnay, brown butter and absinthe.
Bar Antoine will respond with three cocktails from Leon’s new Savoir-Boire menu – translating as ‘the art of drinking well’ – which puts a playful, contemporary spin on classic French flavours and ingredients. Among them will be two of the bar’s most talked-about new serves: the Cornichon Martini and Croissant Old Fashioned.
Expect inventive French spirits, unexpected flavour combinations and plenty of Parisian attitude as two of London and Paris’s most distinctive cocktail teams come together behind the bar for one night only.
All six cocktails will be available for £14 each on 30 September at Bar Antoine, Four Seasons Hotel London at Park Lane.
