THE UNMISSABLE ADDRESSES FOR AN APÉRITIF WITH FRIENDS

When the light begins to fade over the Haussmann façades and the city slows down, Paris enters a moment of its own. The apéritif. A suspended interlude where people come together, savour the moment and observe the city differently.

In the Champs Élysées district, just steps from Hôtel de Sers, the possibilities multiply: elegant terraces, confidential rooftops, intimate bars and vibrant addresses.

Here is our selection of essential addresses for an apéritif with friends, between Parisian elegance and inspiring atmospheres.

HUSHED ELEGANCE
the bar at Hôtel de Sers

Nestled within a refined setting, the bar at Hôtel de Sers reveals an intimate, almost confidential atmosphere, where time seems to slow from the very first moments.

From the moment you arrive, the soft lighting, elegant materials and hushed calm invite you to settle in and take your time. Outside, the terrace, discreetly sheltered from the Parisian bustle, becomes a true open air salon on sunny days, ideal for prolonging the softness of the late afternoon.

The cocktails combine great classics with seasonal creations. The house also offers an Aperitivo Formula at €25 per person, designed to accompany long spring and summer evenings.

On the menu: a spritz of your choice, Aperol or St Germain, served with a generous assortment to share. A duo of crisp arancini, still warm, black olive tapenade, focaccia served with hummus, savoury twists and a mix of nuts… Simple, generous Mediterranean flavours made for sharing.

Conversation flows, and the moment settles in. The kind of instant when one orders “just one more drink”… and forgets the time.

The attentive, discreet service adds to this immediate sense of comfort. And when the apéritif lingers, it feels only natural to continue the evening on site, sitting down to dinner in the warm setting of the hotel.

An ideal place to begin the evening gently and, sometimes, to no longer feel like leaving.

✔ A rare green patio in the neighbourhood
✔ An accessible offer for a 5 star hotel
✔ A chic yet relaxed atmosphere
✔ True Italian inspiration

VIEW OF THE EIFFEL TOWER
the iconic Girafe

Just a few minutes from Hôtel de Sers, Girafe is set facing the Eiffel Tower. Its terrace is one of those Parisian addresses that transforms a simple drink into a truly suspended moment. The setting, both elegant and highly cinematic, attracts an international clientele in search of that postcard Paris one loves to share, photograph and prolong until nightfall.

Come for the atmosphere, of course, but also for the evening light, when the silhouette of the Eiffel Tower stands softly against the sky. Between carefully crafted cocktails and lively conversations, Girafe is perfect for a gathering with friends before dinner, before a night out, or simply to celebrate the pleasure of being together in Paris. The address is especially suited to moments one wants to make a little more memorable.

Good to know: booking is strongly recommended, especially at sunset.

CONFIDENTIAL ROOFTOP
Perruche at the top of Paris

Perched at the top of Printemps Haussmann, Perruche offers an unexpected green interlude in the very heart of the city. From the moment you arrive, the contrast takes hold: below, the bustle of the grands boulevards; all around, the rooftops of Paris; above, the sky. This address has the charm of those places one loves to introduce to friends: central, transporting and distinctive enough to give the apéritif the feeling of an escape.

Between plants, elegant furniture and open views over the capital, the atmosphere moves between relaxation and sophistication. Perruche is particularly well suited to lingering apéritifs, the kind that begin with a fresh cocktail and continue naturally with a few plates to share. The mood is sunny, light, almost summery, ideal for meeting friends after a day of shopping, a visit to the Opéra district, or simply to rise above Paris for a while.

Insider tip: come during the week for a calmer, more privileged experience, when the place retains all its energy without losing its comfort.

CHIC PARISIAN SPIRIT
Monsieur Bleu

Facing the Seine, Monsieur Bleu embodies a certain idea of Parisian chic: elegant without being stiff, worldly without being intimidating, lively without ever becoming excessive. Its spacious terrace, with views of the Eiffel Tower and the majestic lines of the Palais de Tokyo, attracts a fashionable, cosmopolitan clientele accustomed to Paris’s finest addresses. It is the ideal place for an apéritif with friends when seeking an atmosphere that is refined, dynamic and unmistakably Parisian.

One meets there at the end of the day for a drink, often with the idea of not staying too long, before ultimately letting the moment stretch on. Conversations lengthen, glasses are refreshed, and the atmosphere rises gently as the evening unfolds. For a group of friends, it is a particularly pleasant address, as the space allows guests to enjoy a lively atmosphere while preserving a certain sense of intimacy.

Good to know: the atmosphere evolves throughout the evening, becoming more animated after 8 p.m.

VIEW OVER THE CHAMPS ÉLYSÉES
the Mun rooftop

Just a few minutes from the hotel, Mun rooftop overlooks the most famous avenue in Paris and offers one of those panoramas that immediately sets the tone for an evening. Between the Arc de Triomphe, the perspectives of the Champs Élysées and the Eiffel Tower in the background, the address cultivates a spectacular aesthetic, ideal for an apéritif with friends that one wants to be chic, festive and unmistakably Parisian.

The place appeals with its carefully designed décor, contemporary atmosphere and lightly nocturnal energy. Come here for a drink above Paris, to begin the evening with elegance, celebrate an occasion, or simply enjoy a moment with friends in a setting that always makes an impression.

Good to know: it is especially busy at the end of the week.

AN INVITATION
to prolong the evening

From Hôtel de Sers, each address is easily reached, depending on the mood of the evening and the desire of the moment. A cocktail with a view of the Eiffel Tower, a lively table among friends, a few plates to share, then perhaps an improvised dinner when the atmosphere invites you to stay a little longer. This is the charm of these Parisian addresses: they allow the evening to begin gently, then let it take shape naturally.

Because the best apéritifs with friends are often the ones that are not entirely planned. The ones where one orders a final drink, sets the world to rights around a table, and Paris becomes the ideal backdrop for a simple, precious moment.

A pleasant way to let the evening stretch out, in good company...
