Revolutionizing Non-Alcoholic Pairings with Innovation

For two years, Le Meurice and Benoît d’Onofrio, also known as Le Sobrelier, have been perfecting the art of non-alcoholic beverage pairings at Restaurant Le Meurice Alain Ducasse. Their partnership is driven by a shared commitment to locally sourced, French ingredients, near-zero waste, and redefining the world of sober beverages. This collaboration brings the best of France’s culinary expertise together with avant-garde beverage innovations that are both bold and refined.

This January, guests will be immersed in a unique gastronomic experience that celebrates Dry January in the most elegant way possible. Begin your journey at Restaurant Le Meurice Alain Ducasse, where you’ll be welcomed with a sparkling non-alcoholic drink like no other – Courge de Là. A delicate combination of Chasselas grape, butternut squash, passion tagetes, and physalis, this drink has been inspired by the process of crafting natural sparkling wines. It’s a drink designed to surprise, delight, and spark curiosity in every sip.

Experience Bold Non-Alcoholic Beverages That Push Boundaries

Le Sobrelier has worked closely with Le Meurice to create three extraordinary non-alcoholic beverages that will accompany the culinary delights of Amaury Bouhours, the restaurant’s renowned chef. The beverages are not just drinks but statements of creativity and skill. The first, Let it Beet, is a vintage 2025 beverage made from fermented Hamburg Muscat grapes, paired with purple shiso, crapaudine beetroot, pomegranate, and southernwood. This drink is as bold as the ingredients themselves.

The second beverage, How Can You Mangue a Broken Heart, is a sweet and tangy blend made from green mandarin, Provençal mango, cascara, and fir shoot. Finally, the third, Random Access Memoris, combines the sweet and savoury tastes of white Camargue round rice, persimmon, chicory, and melilot seeds. These drinks, especially Random Access Memoris, which has matured over a year, are a perfect reflection of the slow-food philosophy that Le Meurice embraces.

Sparkling Delights at Le Dalí Restaurant

Not just Restaurant Le Meurice Alain Ducasse – even the renowned Restaurant Le Dalí is offering a sparkling twist to Dry January. Throughout the month, the restaurant will feature French Bloom’s non-alcoholic sparkling wines, including Extra Brut, Rosé, and Vintage 2023 cuvées. These delicately crafted wines have been chosen specifically to pair with seasonal dishes curated by chef Clémentine Bouchon. For those looking for a chic and effervescent way to start the year, Le Dalí provides an elegant option that combines the festive sparkle of champagne with a health-conscious, alcohol-free choice.

Reinventing Cocktails at Bar 228

If you’re looking to enjoy a luxurious cocktail experience without the alcohol, Bar 228 at Le Meurice offers a tantalising non-alcoholic twist on the hotel’s famed Millenium cocktail. This reimagined version, named Millenium .0, features French Bloom Rosé. It’s an elegant, sophisticated way to begin the new year, offering the same refined experience guests expect from one of Paris’ most iconic bars but without the need for alcohol. This innovative take on classic cocktails is just another reason why Le Meurice remains at the forefront of Parisian luxury.
