THE COBBLER Whether you’re looking for the perfect after- work drinks spot, a central meeting point for friends or a magical and stylishly romantic cocoon for the evening, The Cobbler will satisfy your desires with a few shakes of the cocktail mixer. The cocktail menu guides and seduces with
a surprising and innovative selection, which have all been dreamt up by the barman David Lebeer — said to be one of the 10 best in the world. It’s all in the glass: the bartender has taken the traditional cocktail, deconstructed its ingredients and put them back together with a touch of ancestral alchemy to create a whole new range of tastes and subtle flavours, mixing top quality spirits with fruit juices, spices and other house secrets that cannot be revealed. Whether you’re in the bar or relaxing in
a comfortable armchair, you can enjoy the spectacle of your cocktail being prepared.
The bartender will guide you through the menu or signature cocktails and will adapt to any particular desire: cobblers (two house cocktails); aperitives (refreshing, fruity and tropical, savoury and experimental, short and strong); dessert cocktails (after-dinner cocktails, liquid dessert menu); hot cocktails. Each and every drink can be made into a non- alcoholic version. If you’re feeling peckish you can order tapas
and other finger foods to complement your cocktail from the bar.
