Perched on the highest floor of The Apurva Kempinski Bali, L’Atelier by Cyril Kongo offers an experience that goes beyond that of a regular bar. Upon entering, guests will feel as though they have stepped into a sky-high art gallery overlooking the Indian Ocean. However, it’s not just the breathtaking views that impress; the venue creates an immersive experience where art, flavour and refined luxury converge in perfect harmony.
Inspired by the world-renowned French-Vietnamese graffiti artist Cyril Kongo, the space embodies bold artistic expression, impeccable taste and a free-spirited creative soul. Here, gastronomy becomes a new canvas for art, where every cocktail tells a story and each dish is crafted to be a masterpiece. At the heart of this fusion is the signature cocktail: Graffiti on the Rock, a potent elixir that captures Cyril’s essence through local ingredients selected to deliver rich cacao notes, the warmth of cinnamon syrup, and an intriguing hint of exotic tobacco bitters.
Presented in a refined, gallery-like lounge setting, the experience is enhanced by curated artworks, bold interior design and an atmosphere reminiscent of a cosmopolitan art studio. Guests can also indulge in premium Cuban cigars, shisha and top-shelf spirits, creating a sophisticated and memorable atmosphere.
Innovation is at the heart of L’Atelier by Cyril Kongo. Here, chefs and bartenders are not merely practitioners of their craft; they are artists in their own right. The Mediterranean-style tapas are carefully curated, and each cocktail, whether experimental or elegant, is prepared with meticulous attention to detail. From the first glass of champagne to the final handmade canapé, everything is designed to delight the senses.
