The Marta Rooftop is getting a makeover this summer under the magical baton of Cordelia de Castellane, a decorating virtuoso who has worked for some of the capital's finest addresses. Perched atop theHôtel Fouquet's, on the edge of the Champs-Élysées, this emblematic spot is transformed into an elegant garden that opens its "gates" in the evening, from Wednesday to Sunday.
From the moment you enter, the atmosphere is both glamorous and bucolic, with lush greenery, touches of cork and old objects steeped in history. At the heart of the decor, an antique fountain sits among fragments of a labyrinth, embellished by carefully sourced furniture and well-chosen deco pieces in an effusion of floral fabrics.
A plant sculpture in the shape of a horse plunges us a little further into the dream, paired with the bar's imposing mirror, reflecting both the beauty of the premises and the electric energy of the City of Light.
A secret path even reveals a spacious dining room, with a new decor that offers a breathtaking view of the Eiffel Tower, further boosting the irresistible charm of this beautiful terrace.
And when it comes to food, it's all about royalty. The menu offers fine cuisine, with dishes in a very "Marie Antoinette at the time of the Petit Trianon" style, served in antique crockery that adds cachet to every bite. What's on the menu? Aside from the great summer classics - burrata, pissaladière and lobster roll - you'll be tempted by salmon blinis, crab tarama, fresh goat's cheese cream with flowers and a delicious trio of finger sandwiches. And, to finish on a high note, you'll love the inevitable strawberry/chantilly or vanilla ice cream with its gourmet toppings.
Added to this is a selection of refined cocktails created by the address's mixologists. Bestsellers include the Nectar Divin, made with Champagne and red fruits, and the Dame Violette, made with blackberry cream and violet syrup. These original, colorful creations are sipped to the rhythm of open-air DJ sets from Thursday to Saturday.
With its picturesque setting, refined cocktail bar and magical panorama, this summer's Marta Rooftop has everything you need for a top-notch Parisian evening!
Please note that it's been over 4 years since our last visit, so the place and experience may have changed.
