"Slipping into this velvet-appointed bar is an exercise in Parisian maximalism. From the leopard print carpeting to rich and rouge walls, you’ll find tables angled for reclining and tassels as a prominent design detail. Bites at Bar Marilou are equally influenced by Parisian lounges, from frog legs spiced with Szechuan and deep-fried pomme Anna with dollops of caviar. The Pisco Sour? Spiked with génépy. Even the tropical Little Birds with rye, banana, and clarion honey has a distinctly Parisian, pastis backbone." - Kate Dingwall
