French for the world, this is a sensible name for a French
daily newspaper. Quite why this bar on George Street is called such a name I’m
not sure, as there is nothing really worldly about it - other than the fact
tourists may drink in it during the festival. To be honest I think the owners
just chose the name because it sounded swanky.
This place is all about the swank! It’s attached to what
their website calls a ‘boutique’ hotel – what the hell does that mean? Drinks
are obviously expensive! It’s a nice place to go for one or two pints after
work, but if you go at the weekend for a session you will require a small mortgage
and be irritated by posers!
The problem with this bar is it is trying to be a
sophisticated bar to suit the likes of Paris, London or New York. Unfortunately
it is located on George Street in Edinburgh, a street where you may get posers
and radges, but certainly not sophistication!
