A trip around the world without jet lag, or any wait in customs, all comfortably with an elegant cocktail in hand … just a dream? Le Royal Monceau – Raffles Paris has made it come true! Treat yourself to a journey of senses with our top 5 most cosmopolitan cocktails Long Bar.
1. Thailand in one sip
Elephants, wild orchids and sacred temples … Welcome to the Land of Smiles with our “Thai Mojito”, where basil is replaced with fresh mint and ginger, topped with Tanqueray 10 Gin, Tonic Water and enhanced by squeezed lime juice that lead senses in a rhythmic and exotic dance. Sweetness and sensuality are also at the rendez-vous with the presence of cane sugar syrup and peach liqueur.
2. Stopover in Singapore
Twenty seven spices from the Benedictine liquor, guide you through the famous “Garden City”, with notes of orange and cherries, infused from Cointreau. Is the warm and humid climate unbearable? Do not worry, our signature “Raffles Singapore Sling” is often crossed by storms of Hendrick’s Gin and equatorial rainfalls of sparkling water and lemon juice. Invigorating.
3. Cuba’s ray of sunshine
Yet one of the most beautiful cities in the world, Paris and its grey skies can sometimes affect people’s moods. When these times arise, the lively moment has come to sit at Le Bar Long and enjoy our “Santiago” cocktail. Combined with Mount Gay Eclipse Rum, passion fruit purée distills a little sunshine in the traveler’s mind, already boosted by fresh orange and lemon juice. Last but not least, the sugar cane syrup and Ginger Cordial finish convincing the traveler that time and weather are just a mind game after all.
4. Joyful Pirates of the Caribbean
Ahoy sailors! Put on your pirate gear, show off your best boat shoes and sail away! Final destination is Barbados and its “T.D.Q” cocktail mixed with blissful rum, fragrant vanilla and freshly squeezed lemon. What is the secret ingredient of this beverage for intrepid sailors? Tonka beans, convincing you to not return to port. To be more exotic, enunciate “ti-di-kiou.”
5. Summer Breeze
Want to feel the warm summer air on your skin, hear the sound of crickets in your ears and taste the sweetness of fresh fruit in your mouth? In short … envious of the South? Treat yourself to a taste of our beautiful “Arlésienne” cocktail, where the flavors of Gin infused with lavender, burst under the sweetness of raspberry puree and orange blossom. To top it off, the champagne bubbles will invite you into their mischievous dance.

Having just received its first Michelin star, guests are invited to taste La Cuisine’s new Spring/Summer collection. The menu created by Executive Chef Laurent André and La Cuisine Head Chef Gabriel Grapin’s showcases their vision of the great classics of French cuisine on contemporary overtones.
Recipes inspired by family traditions are complimented by exceptional local French produce. A collection of seasonal dishes is available in small and bigger portions for a relaxed approach – an ode to conviviality, sharing and good food.
“With this new menu, we wanted to offer a lighter cuisine (with many gluten-free options), based on taste, that is both accessible and entertaining’’ – explains Chef Gabriel Grapin.
The new Spring/Summer menu includes 16 starters to share. Breton Sea Bream Ceviche refreshed with lime, brown butter and gold croutons. Green asparagus from the Vaucluse region with citrus from Pépinières Bachès in French Catalonia – famous for its home grown citrus fruits – adds lightness and delicacy.
For the mains, the chefs are influenced by the finest products of the French regions, prepared with cooking techniques from all four corners of the world. Haunch of veal from the Corrèze region cooked to order with asparagus and morels, bursting with local flavours. A Magret de Canard confit à l’orange, served with caramelised fennel and sesame, brilliantly complement the colours of the contemporary fresco that adorns the ceiling of the restaurant, by artist Stéphane Calais.
One of the highlights of La Cuisine’s dining experience is without doubt the macarons and original creations of Pierre Hermé. The freshness of his new Infiniment Strawberry dessert – with strawberry chantilly, fresh strawberries, strawberry coulis, lemon shortbread and strawberry sorbet – will delight gourmets this summer.
No less than fifteen different millefeuilles ‘minute’ are also available à la carte, with delicious caramelized puff pastry and some of Pierre Hermé Paris’ most iconic flavour combinations, such as Mogador (roasted pineapple, milk chocolate Chantilly and passion fruit) and Ispahan (rose mascarpone cream, fresh raspberries and litchis). And now, on request, guests can even create their own millefeuilles with the Pastry Chef keeping a close eye!
