Le Bœuf sur le toit (cabaret)

The name Le Bœuf sur le toit is painted in gold leaf on the glass, a nod to the legendary cabaret that once occupied these rooms during the nineteen twenties. Jean Cocteau and his circle of artists made this spot the heartbeat of Paris nightlife, naming it after a ballet by Darius Milhaud. Cocteau himself often took a turn behind the bar, serving cocktails to patrons like Coco Chanel and Pablo Picasso while they debated the future of art until dawn.
