1. Bar Magritte

1. Bar Magritte
You might suddenly taste smoky notes while sipping from a pipe (ceci n’est pas…?), or experience the flavour of pear in three different textures – for, in true surrealist spirit, Bar Magritte delights in wrong-footing you. In honour of Magritte’s 125th birthday, Hotel Amigo has opened the very first bar dedicated to the artist. Master mixologist Salvatore Calabrese has created a menu of twenty bespoke cocktails, inspired both by Magritte’s iconic works and by the classics of his era.
2. Saint-Martin Bookshop

For paper lovers and art book hoarders, this is a place of pure delight. After years of collecting books, the owners opened their own shop in 2020 (housed in the former Maison Margiela building) offering a carefully curated selection of the most beautiful new and second-hand art publications: rare catalogues, back issues of iconic magazines, special editions, and limited-run artist books.
