Les Ambassadeurs: Champagne & Cocktails at HĂ´tel de Crillon
While Les Ambassadeurs positions itself primarily as a cocktail bar, the food program deserves serious attention. This isn't your typical bar snacks menu—instead, you'll find gastronomic creations that could stand alone as a light dinner or perfectly complement an evening of drinks.
The menu showcases French refinement with a focus on luxury ingredients and elevated comfort food. The signature black truffle croque-monsieur (€32) reimagines the classic French sandwich with premium ingredients, transforming a bistro staple into something extraordinary. The lobster rolls (€44) bring a touch of coastal elegance, featuring generous portions of tender lobster meat. For those seeking the ultimate indulgence, Baeri caviar is available at €160 for 50g, served with traditional accompaniments.
Classic French bar fare appears in refined form—smoked salmon paired with blinis offers a lighter option, while the selection of items "to share" encourages convivial dining. The menu is designed for grazing throughout the evening rather than a single sit-down meal, allowing you to order progressively as your evening unfolds. You might start with something light like the salmon and blinis, progress to the truffle croque, and finish with caviar if you're celebrating something special.
The food philosophy aligns perfectly with the bar's overall approach: sophisticated but not pretentious, luxurious but not overwhelming. Portions are sized appropriately for bar dining—substantial enough to satisfy but not so large that they overshadow the drinks program. The kitchen operates during the full bar hours (5pm to 1am), ensuring you can order food throughout your visit.
Quality ingredients take center stage, with an emphasis on French products and luxury items that justify the premium pricing. The preparation style respects traditional techniques while presenting dishes with contemporary flair. Whether you're here primarily for cocktails and want something to nibble or you're planning a full evening of food and drinks, the menu offers enough variety and quality to satisfy discerning palates.
