Bar Vendôme

Every time my family and I are in Paris, a visit to Bar Vendôme at the Ritz is an absolute must. Everything about this place is exceptional from the food to the ambience to the service. We were recently there to celebrate my parents’ anniversary, and I wouldn’t have had it any other way. A special thank you to Mehdi, our host for the evening, who made the experience even more delightful than usual. Ritz, we look forward to returning again soon ❤️

An unforgettable afternoon at the Ritz Paris We had the pleasure of enjoying an elegant afternoon at Ritz Paris, and it was truly a feast for the senses. From the very first sip of champagne, we knew we were in for something special. The foie gras pâté was smooth and decadent, the lobster spaghetti perfectly al dente and full of flavor, and the escargots were rich and buttery – a true Parisian classic done right. Each dish was a masterclass in refinement. The ambiance was as exquisite as the food: timeless, luxurious, and effortlessly charming. This wasn’t just a meal – it was an experience we’ll remember for a long time.

We stopped by here for some cocktails and canapés during our visit to Paris !! This is always my go to bar for cocktails after dinner with the value addition of the famous ritz !! The bartender was very knowledgable and chatty and you could say he was experienced The whole setting plus vibe of the place is ideal for a catch up or something personal.

Bar Vendôme is a hidden gem tucked inside the Ritz Paris — elegant, timeless, and effortlessly Parisian. The cocktails and “rose Champagne” are refined, the service is top-notch, and the ambience is pure luxury without being stiff. Perfect spot for an upscale aperitif or a quiet evening drink in the heart of Place Vendôme. Pricey, but worth it for the experience.

We had high expectations in our afternoon tea at the iconic Bar Vendome @ The Ritz, Paris - exquisite atmosphere, top end quality produce and impeccable service. And they delivered in all categories! We had a spectacular afternoon enjoying the food, drinks and marveling at the magnificent decor. We opted for the La formule incontournable plus drinks. The serves were generously large. Highly recommended for those seeking a place to celebrate or just wanting to experience the beauty of the Ritz. We look forward to our next visit when next in Paris.

its wonderful and Classic place! they have famous dessert but food feel like nothing special. we had lunch in Bar Vendome this time. we have not try afternoon tea yet .

Tucked in the heart of the opulent Ritz Carlton, Bar Vendôme offers a breakfast experience that very simply put is regal. The ambiance has a very classic Parisian charm with a lavish twist—towering ceilings, ornate chandeliers, and a sun-kissed greenhouse setting where I found myself basking in the soft glow of morning sunlight. The meal began with a delightful bakery basket, a trove of freshly baked flaky croissants, delicate pastries, and golden bread. Each bite a sumptuous reminder that Parisian baking is on another level when it comes to buttery goodness. As for the more substantial portion of breakfast, the eggs benedict with smoked salmon is a must-try. The poached eggs were paired with silky smoked salmon atop an english muffin that held its own. If you're craving something a bit sweeter, the traditional french toast with red berries will hit the spot and then some. Crispy on the outside, soft and moist on the inside, while the berries added a tangy sweetness that tied it all together. The orange juice and grapefruit juice were freshly squeezed, refreshing and bursting with flavor. The iced coffee was bold, smooth and the jolt needed to kickstart the day. The staff is attentive and courteous, ensuring that every detail of your dining experience is perfect and making you feel like a guest of honor. Overall, Bar Vendôme is setting a high standard in all facets for breakfast in Paris. The food is very good, the ambiance is luxurious, and the service is first class. It's a breakfast experience that will leave you paying for and feeling like royalty.

Came to have light snack with champagne dessert and tea. Was very fancy. This wasn't my idea to do this. Someone made the reservation. Not cheap but it is the Ritz... something I would not normally do but had an experience. The staff are delightful.

Service was amazing. Very welcoming and attentive. The only problem was that the food was lacking in flavor. The restaurant is very cute with a glass roof and glass walls that let in a lot of sunlight and adds to the softness of the atmosphere.

Through my hours of research prior to our trip to Paris, I knew a couple of things for certain. 1.) My husband and I needed at least one night where we could dress up and celebrate our anniversary/30th birthday in a Paris-y charm type of way and 2.) we MUST try the famous Christmas Bûche de Nöel...and it needed to be from Bar Vendôme at the Ritz Carlton (thanks to the Pinterest blogger who totally convinced me that this was the move.) Well, I'm not surprised at all that this experience landed itself 5 stars. If I could, I'd break the Yelp scale by giving it 7 stars. We made our reservations weeks in advance and from the moment we stepped in...we were treated like royalty. They grabbed our winter gear and stored it in the coat closet, sat us in our little private and dimly lit corner of the room, and helped us navigate the French menu. While it was obvious that we were Americans attempting to enjoy the fully French way of living, we had great conversations with the staff about where we should go and returned the favor by sharing must-see spots in the U.S. Our food arrived in the most beautiful presentation. I'm not kidding; think Beauty and the Beast styled cutlery and a chef opening up the serving platter to show you your meal - it was divine. Then, for the grand finale! They bring out the Buche de Noel (that we requested at the same time we booked the reservation), accompanied with a sweet "Bonne Anniversaire" tune playing on the piano in the background. The delicate dessert was presented to the two of us with white gloved hands and a candle on top! I felt like I was living in a movie. Last but not least, if you happen to be in Paris during winter, this is the place for you. In the foyer, there was had a massive Christmas tree that immediately catches your eye. Outside, you'll walk through cobblestone streets of twinkling bright lights and realize you're walking in a winter wonderland. Ahhh...Take me back!!!!

Stumbled across this place because I was trying to get int Bar Hemingway but they were full. I decided to sit outside on the covered patio. There is a pianist singing a mix of Van Morrison, The Beatles, and other well known covers. The ambiance is quite nice but does not feel stuffy. To drink I had the Balade En Himalaya which tastes like a margarita with a great minty hint to it. The staff all speak English well. Would definitely recommend

Sat at the bar with my wife on our honeymoon. 10/10 service and atmosphere. Would recommend and will return when we can.

The service is impeccable...this is legendary Ritz service. The care and attention to detail is incomparable. The live piano player added a very special touch to a what was a very special dinner for us. We arrived today for a week in Paris at The Ritz to celebrate our 20th wedding anniversary. Our meal was top notch from start to finish, including our waiter going out of his way to bring us the name of the place they source their delicious butter from! Our wine recommendation was spot on. The ambience is a swoon worthy date night dream. The menu is very pricey and our meal was extraordinarily good. Perhaps just shy of 5 stars for me. Bar Vendôme is everything it is known for and worth the visit. What a perfect start to our long dreamed of trip.

Very disappointing. We attempted to to visit the Bar Hemingway our last night in Paris. Unfortunately, it is closed Sun and Mon. (Friends - keep this in mind. And... I know, shame on me for not planning ahead.). Regardless... when we arrived at approx 10PM we were very politely informed that not only was Bar Hemingway closed (my bad), but, also, there were no available seats in Bar Vendome (despite being at only 30%-40% capacity). "We are keeping these available for Ritz guests should they wish for a cocktail." So... Thank you Ritz Paris for a wonderful introduction! (Uggghhhh... sarcasm!). The taskmaster (mistress) at Bar Vendome serves as a VERY MEMORABLE (AND VERY BAD) brand ambassador for the Ritz... at least for us heathen, non-Ritz guests. That said, instead, and not far away, we had delightful cocktails at Le Bar at Four Season George V. I leave this review to stand as a warning to potential Ritz Paris visitors... If you are not a hotel guest, go somewhere else. My greatest hope is that one day Harvard Business School writes a case about how (NOT) to develop your brand, and uses this as is as their lead-in example. Again, thank you Ritz. Now I know. #ritzparis #fourseasonshotelgeorgeV #Uggggghhhhhh

Gorgeous setting. The courtyard is a beautiful cool and serene spot to enjoy a beautiful artisan cocktail. The truffle cashews are amazing. Beautiful music and a little stool next to your chair to place your Chanel or Louis. Attentive, friendly service. You can make reservations online at www.ritz.com or restaurant@ritzparis.com

Easily the worst experience we had in Paris and sadly it was for our 15-year anniversary. The food was over priced and under flavor, the vibe is stuffy and to top it off the service was downright awful. We waited 30+ minutes for a $200 bottle of wine, 30+ to be asked about coffee or dessert and left underwhelmed in every way. There are a million cafes in this incredible town, all have better food, ambiance & service than Vendome.

Delicious food, great service, everything you'd expect from somewhere like The Ritz.
