Bar 228

One of the best bars in Paris. So intimate and so beautiful. The staff are extremely knowledgeable and friendly, always present to make your experience comfortable and exceptional. Champagne service avec caviar is a family favorite. Can't wait to return over the holidays. If the musical duo are playing, it's a veritable cherry on top! Been patronizing for years and it has never disappointed us. Bravo Bar 228!

I stayed at Le Meurice on my most recent trip to Paris, and thoroughly enjoyed my experience at Bar 228. Bar staff were all friendly and knowledgable on the menu. Complimentary bar nuts and olives were delicious. Live music was great, but not too loud, and seemed to be enjoyed by all. Try the smoked salmon blinis, they're to die for!

I always think it's worth paying for new experiences and discoveries! The Maurice Millennium was good, maybe not worth 34 euros, and the Pistache by Cedric Grolet amazing and worth a million (the slight notes of salt and the fact that it wasn't too sweet was fantastic). However, team, when you price a cappuccino 15 euros, make sure to get it right : the beans were burnt and the milk boiled, you're left with a tasteless cappuccino and an overly airy foam.

Unfortunately, our experience at Bar 228 at Le Meurice was extremely disappointing. We ordered three shots of mezcal. I had checked the menu beforehand, where prices for similar drinks were around €30–35 per shot. However, when the bill arrived, we were charged €95 per shot — nearly €300 for three drinks. When I asked why, the response was: “We gave you the most expensive one,” as if this was a favor — but it was done without our consent or even a warning. This felt like an upsell of the most expensive option without disclosure, which is unacceptable at a venue of this level. I strongly recommend being very cautious with your orders here and always confirming the price in advance, even if it’s listed on the menu.

They had me at jazz trio. Wonderful cocktails and bar snacks and service was superb!

Compared to other palaces this one offered us most probably the best experience. The cocktails are incredible, the ancient chic Parisian atmosphere can be felt everywhere. Having live music makes it all the more enjoyable. Cherry on the cake, the staff is incredibly nice. Will make sure to come back soon.

We popped by Bar 228 walking home from dinner at the suggestion of a local guide. Shout out to the staff at Le Maurice! Everyone we encountered was so nice. The bar and cocktails, albeit pricey, were incredible. We were fortunate to visit while live music was being played, that with the moody decor made for the perfect ambiance.

228 cocktail is my favourite:)
