Tucked away in the back of the bustling Daraoco Bourse restaurant, the intimate speakeasy vibe cocktail bar had its own melody. We were lucky to be seated in the middle of the U shaped bar. Introduced to the French edition of the Danico Xplorer cocktail menu where this iteration of drinks is inspired by France’s regional culinary traditions, local ingredients, and spirits. These offerings are part of the final chapter in a series of seasonal menus dedicated to other cultures (e.g. Mexico and Japan). My favorite of the night came in the form of France in a Perfume bottle: citadelle gin, St-Germaine, jasmine, flower cordial, elderflower pickles, and ylang-ylang. The sweetness from the ylang ylang was both aromatic and seductive with spirt forwardness that doesn’t get lost in the floral scents. Along with the fun and talented bartenders, there were a few regulars and new comers that contributed to the enchanting wavelength at Danico, sharing other places that share a similar level of craftsmanship for cocktails. Look forward to another seasonal menu in the future. Merci beaucoup!
An exceptional cocktail experience at Danico. The drinks were creative, perfectly balanced, and absolutely deserving of their place among the World’s 50 Best Bars. We tried the Tarte Tatin, Ratatouille, Le Cocktail du Moment, and a Basil Smash every cocktail was outstanding and memorable in its own way.
The service inside the bar was also exceptional: attentive, professional, and genuinely welcoming, which made the whole experience even better.
Th only small downside was the communication with the staff at the door, which could have been a bit warmer and clearer. Aside from that, everything was fantastic. Definitely a place worth visiting if you appreciate high-level cocktails.
Hands down one of the best cocktail experiences.
Everything was blended so well and captured the taste of French cuisine.
Well deserved top 50 bars ranking.
Staff were very attentive and professional.
We tried Tarte Tatin, Ratatouille, Le Parisien, Paris Brest, Ide Fix, Terminal 2F.
All of them so unique and well balanced, it makes you wonder how they managed to combine all the flavours so well, while making it taste like a real deal.
I’m writing this review more than a month after the visit, and I can still recall the taste of each cocktail (in a good way!), which is a testament to how well made they are.
Definitely will come back next time I’m in Paris.
Danico is one of the best cocktail bars in Paris. Their creations are world class, the staff is kind and friendly, and the speakeasy atmosphere is unbeatable. Not to be missed!
We found Danico cocktail bar on our first night in Paris. It gave us an unforgettable experience with an unforgettable cocktail to match. The staff were very friendly and welcoming, and explained how the menu is curated through lots of travel and research. All cocktails offered on the menu are diverse and like nothing you'll have seen or tasted before!
The "Paris Brest" cocktail is the one we both chose, and it was amazing. It was a creamy cocktail, that tasted like a mixture of Baileys, Biscoff, and Praline. Beautiful!
The price point is high-end, but for the cocktail itself as well as the service I'd say it's worth it for a one-off or a treat. We didn't have chance to try the food, however it smelled lovely as we passed through the restaurant.
Thank you Danico!
