Travelers and locals alike can sip and savor in a winter wonderland at Le Royal Monceau – Raffles Paris’ new Royal Arctic pop-up terrace. The seasonal escape welcomes guests to an “enchanting setting” outfitted with private igloos, floating icebergs and snow-capped peaks.
Groups of up to six can reserve the Royal Arctic’s private igloos for an exclusive champagne dining experience featuring Moët & Chandon’s cuvee, MCIII. The champagne is reserved exclusively for guests of the igloos, along with two custom tapas menus curated from Le Royal Monceau - Raffles Paris' restaurants, Il Carpaccio and Matsuhisa Paris. Highlights from the menu include Il Carpaccio’s cuttlefish cannelloni with caviar and lemon cream, and Peruvo-Japanese creations from Matsuhisa Paris, including scallops jalapeño salsa and black cod saikyo yaki.
Outside of the igloos, vintage Moët & Chandon Grand Vintage 2009 and Grand Vintage Rosé 2009 will be available by the glass. A winter tapas menu will also be offered with highlights including a Caviar Christmas Lobster Roll.
The winter igloos are available through February 14, 2019, and is open from noon to 11 p.m. A pairing of Champagne MCIII and tapas from Matsuhisa Paris or Il Carpaccio is available for 95 euros. Reservations can be made by calling +33 (0)1 42 99 98 50 or emailing barlong.paris@raffles.com.
