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. At L’Atelier by Cyril Kongo, 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.
Graffiti on the Rock is more than just a drink; it is a sensorial homage to Cyril Kongo’s unique personality and vibrant artistic style. This signature creation captures his essence, showcasing a complex flavour profile and striking visual presentation. Crafted with carefully selected local ingredients, the cocktail features rich cacao notes, the warmth of cinnamon syrup and an intriguing hint of exotic tobacco bitters. Topping off the drink is a handcrafted chocolate garnish, moulded to reflect Kongo’s distinctive graffiti—an edible piece of art that is both captivating and delicious.
Each sip of Graffiti on the Rock invites guests into a deeper narrative of culture, craftsmanship and creativity. It is more than just a drink; it is a performance. 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.
L’Atelier by Cyril Kongo provides much more than a place to enjoy a cocktail; it offers an artistic journey into a lifestyle defined by luxury, self-expression and creativity. Whether drawn in by the allure of Graffiti on the Rock or the endless ocean view, each guest is welcomed into a world where every drink tells a story, and every moment becomes a masterpiece.
