Duke's Bar

The story

Duke's Bar brings the look of a traditional English club into the intimate surroundings of Hôtel Westminster, a short walk from Place Vendôme and the Opéra. The menu runs from signature cocktails and classics to bar plates: French onion soup gratinéed with Beaufort, croque-monsieur, the Westminster burger, fish and chips, aged Charolais striploin with béarnaise, and vanilla crème brûlée. Manhattans arrive with almonds and olives. In the afternoon the room becomes the setting for the Westminster Afternoon Tea, with sweet creations, savoury bites and hot drinks. On Thursdays, singer Julianna Mester or saxophonist Gilles Barikovski, known for his work with Thomas Dutronc, plays jazz, soul and Latin standards with guitarist Emmanuel Picon. On Fridays, pianist Thierry Trotignon mixes jazz with popular classics.
