This Christmas, the lights of Paris shine a little brighter at Balthazar.

Overnight, our iconic brasserie has been transformed – the scarlet drapes are drawn, the glittering chandeliers glow with golden light, and a swirl of feathers and festivity fills the room.

The spirit of the cabaret has come to Covent Garden, and every corner shimmers with Parisian allure. Scarlet and gold set the stage for indulgent celebrations, as the Grey Goose Martinis pour and festive dishes flow.

This is Christmas as only Balthazar could imagine it – bold, beautiful and truly unforgettable.

Festive Cocktails

Toast to the season in Balthazar style with a bespoke selection of Grey Goose cocktails inspired by the romance and drama of the cabaret.

Choose from signature serves including the Curtain Call: a blend of Grey Goose L’Orange, Bellamie cherry apéritif, sweet vermouth and citrus marmalade or the Midnight Matinee, bringing together Grey Goose, Baileys, Frangelico and espresso for a rich and theatrical twist on the espresso martini.
