Bar Joséphine

Bar Joséphine, located inside the Hotel Lutetia, is for the get-dressed-up date night, birthday, or special Left Bank celebration. It’s the romantic version of Paris often depicted in movies, with its high ceilings and frescos, which is nice as there aren’t many places with that “typical Paris feel” anymore. Cozy up to your date on the cushioned banquettes or get comfortable in the brown leather chairs with the piano view—there’s live music Thursday-Sunday (and sometimes Tuesday and Wednesday). The cocktails match the setting with beautiful glassware and cocktail garnishes, and you should, too—no T-shirts and jeans.
