Ritz Bar

I had a lovely time at the Ritz bar for an after dinner drink on a Tuesday. I ordered a mocktail that was extremely delicious, and the snacks that came with it were very tasty as well. It was quite pricey (€35) but you are paying for a luxury experience in a gorgeous setting!

Beautiful, unique experience. Drink menu is unusual and well.presented. Gorgeous decor. Very well trained and helpful staff.

Founded in 1898, the hotel founded by César Ritz has always championed the avant-garde and creativity. The Ritz Bar is the culmination of heritage and new perspectives.The head bartender, Romain de Courcy initiates precise and bold taste research. He dedicates himself to natural elements, searching for new expressions. An elegant area to discover !

The Ritz Bar at the iconic Ritz Paris exceeded every expectation I had—and as a connoisseur of luxury, my expectations are high. I visited on the afternoon of June 19, 2025, and was immediately struck by the impeccable atmosphere and timeless elegance that only the Ritz can deliver. The Veracruz cocktail was a symphony of balance—bold, refined, and beautifully executed. Paired with a glass of MorgonPy CdV22, the experience was elevated to a level of excellence I reserve for the most exclusive global venues. What sets this visit apart was not only the sophistication of the drinks but also the exceptional service provided by the team. My operator, COUVIDAT, was discreet, attentive, and highly professional—embodying the very spirit of Ritz hospitality. At 73 euros for two artisanal drinks, the experience is not just a purchase—it’s a statement. You’re not simply paying for a cocktail; you are investing in a moment of Parisian perfection. As someone who travels extensively and values excellence in service and ambiance, I can say this without hesitation: the Ritz Bar remains a crown jewel in the Parisian luxury landscape. I will certainly return—and next time, I may just indulge in a custom tasting.

What a disappointment. I rarely write reviews despite traveling the world and enjoying top class establishments, but I felt obligated to leave this one. The cocktails are definitely not in the standard one would expect from the Ritz bar. In fact they are the most basic ones I’ve ever experienced in my life. A tube of ice in an unimpressive glass, with some lemonade like liquid and no decoration whatsoever. Our waiter seemed polite and asked how was the experience, but when I’ve started hinting that it’s more to be desired, he was not happy at all to hear that and just ignored us. Unfortunately, this is an experience I will never forget, but for the wrong reasons.

Ritz Bar was on my colleague’s list to “check out” for the interior design and atmosphere. Indeed, it is a beautiful place with warm hospitable service and interesting naturally infused zodiac related drink menu that is 35 Euro each. Is it worth it? If you were not paying for the Real Estate of the Ritz, I would say: “no”, but since this is Ritz and the service was super nice and welcoming, “yes”, we would come again unless we are tempted to check out another new venue that is “on the list”.

If the Hemingway bar is overbooked just turn around and you’ll find the “Ritz bar”, an intimate lounge with very few tables all around an Art Deco bar. Cocktails were built around an Astrology theme and they are really well built. Compared to other palaces, the service of the Ritz was by far one of the best with friendly staff capable of giving advice on what to drink. A great experience worth visiting again.

Waited only 15 minutes for a table, staff are very welcoming and helpful. Drinks are excellent
