Danico, Cocktail bar in Passage Vivienne, Paris, France

This bar came to life in the spaces of a former fashion flagship store, connecting two eras of Parisian retail history. The link to the adjacent Daroco restaurant emerged through a transformation that converted retail display areas into hospitality spaces.
The name Danico blends the owner's identity with the venue's character, reflecting a personal vision embedded in the space. The drinks here tell stories of distant places, bringing together global flavors within a historic Parisian arcade.
You can enter directly from Passage Vivienne or through the adjacent Daroco restaurant starting at 6 PM, with service extending until 2 AM. Arriving earlier in the evening offers a more relaxed pace, while later hours tend to feel busier.
The cocktail program is led by Nico de Soto, who uses unusual techniques like fat-washing spirits to create subtle flavor layers. One signature drink pairs cognac with roasted hazelnut butter and tonka bean infusion, blending classic French spirits with exotic elements.
