On the Croisette, luxury hotel bars are no longer merely a prelude to dinner. They are becoming destinations in their own right. At the Majestic, a new menu created by Guillermo Pittaluga confirms this trend, blending Mediterranean flair, creativity and more responsible consumption.
A new meeting place where people no longer just come for a drink, but to enjoy an experience.
To breathe new life into this iconic venue, the’Barrière Hotel handed over the keys to his bar to Guillermo Pittaluga. This Uruguayan of Italian descent specialises in mixology inspired by his travels, yet deeply rooted in the Mediterranean terroir. A menu featuring a blend of thyme, rosemary, citrus fruits, flowers and spices.
Another sign of the times: the rise in popularity of low-ABV cocktails « Low Alcohol by Volume », in other words, low in alcohol. These new creations now occupy a prominent place. The Botanic Sunset, the Venetian Blossom or A Star Is Born are examples of this new generation of cocktails.
The herbs come from the Majestic’s herb garden, the honey from the beehives on the hotel’s rooftops, whilst the citrus fruits are sourced from local growers.
At aperitif time, a few sharing platters inspired by the Beefbar round off the experience with, for example, mini burgers and gourmet canapés.
