Thank you, Marie

At the start of October, Marie Barbarroux poured her last drink behind the bar at [CUISINE]. We wanted to say thank you properly, here, where our guests can read it.

The bar was hers

In an open kitchen, the bar is not a side room. It sits in the same space as the pass, in full view, and the person running it is part of the show every night. Marie ran ours end to end: the stock, the ordering, the pours, the drinks that went out and the team that made them. Leon, Prick, Giorgio, the P.B Espresso Martini, the Pimiento, the Poire and the Courgette for those not drinking: every one of them crossed her bar.

She also closed the room on her nights as manager on duty, which in a restaurant like this means being the last person to switch the lights off after the kitchen has gone quiet.

What she leaves

A bar that works. A cocktail list that people come back for. A standard for how a drink should look when it lands on the counter, and a team that learned it from her.

Thank you

From Franck, Morgan, Kookkai and the whole brigade: thank you, Marie, for the work, the long nights and the drinks. The bar is in good hands because of the way you ran it. We wish you everything good in what comes next.

To our guests: the bar is open every night as always, 5:30pm to 11pm, and the list is unchanged. Come and raise one to her. Book a table.
