Ristorante National and cocktail bar ‘Herbarium’
are a part of Hotel National des Arts et Métiers
experience.

The large Italian restaurent , the Cicchetteria
and speak easy salon are joined under the
skylight of the hotel’s courtyard while
connecting rue saint Martin and rue Reaumur.

The hotel has brought together the expertise of
three luminaries in the Parisian restaurant scene:
Julien Cohen and the duo of Jean-Pierre Lopes
/Thomas Delafon.
The combination of all three transforms the
restaurant into a veritable culinary destination
in its own right.

The exclusive double central skylight opens silently towards the sky
in the ‘arts et métiers’ spirit thanks to high-end engineering (DVVD)
which is unique in paris.

The laborious blues and green tubes wall of the Speak Easy Salon
is made with various sizes of pure copper that has been oxidised
to obtain the particular magical expression of time.

This breath taking artistry has been put together according to
a non repeating algorithm and realised thanks to Ronan Masson

The Herbarium cocktail bar materials
are either brut or burnt.

head barman Oscar Quargliarini with
the sensory precision of a perfumer.
