A Setting That Whisks You Away

As you step into Le Tchanqué, you are greeted by a scene reminiscent of a tropical paradise blended with the classic charm of the French coast.

Cocktails with a Story to Tell

The bar’s decor is a journey through time, featuring a billiard table, a collection of vintage rums and Armagnacs, and wooden slat blinds that add to the old-world charm. The long bar might almost let you glimpse Hemingway at his favorite spot, crafting stories like ""The Old Man and the Sea."" In the evenings, the bar transforms into a vibrant musical venue where the sounds are as rich as the cocktails, perfectly complementing the exotic aromas of vanilla, ginger, cinnamon, coconut, and pineapple that define their drinks.
