How ‘bout them apples! After training under Bertrand Larcher in Paris and Tokyo, and a stint at Ötap, Maxime Bourdigal and Victoria Merret can now be found in their very own stylish spot (concrete walls, modern barstools, a massive wooden bar) popping open bottles of another genre: no fewer than 80 types of cleanly-fermented hard ciders – made by Belgian, French, Polish and Swedish producers.

The bullet-proof bottle: Dance, a co-fermented wild apple and elderflower cider from Kwaśne Jabłko (€34).
