The menu once again focuses on utilising French ingredients, and each cocktail comes with its own illustration.
Under the watch of former bar manager Kevin Rigault, the bar ran a previous series called A Sense of Taste, from which the new series follows. Bar Les Ambassadeurs is based in Hôtel de Crillon, a Rosewood Hotel overlooking Place de la Concorde, and was built under architect Ange-Jacques Gabriel at the request of Louis XV. Following a four-year restoration, it reopened in 2017 as a central part of the Parisian bar scene.
