Jolie Joli means beautiful beautiful and this place certainly is that. Jolie Joli cocktail bar is the little brother of Ma Jolie (my beauty), a restaurant just next door. This restaurant (brasserie chic) is also worth a visit!
Their love for cocktails and cosiness led them to open a cocktail bar after their restaurant. The atmosphere of Ma Jolie flows through in Jolie Joli. It is the perfect place for an apero on cold winter days, or for a drink after a nice dinner.
The restaurant is not very big at all and consists of cosy corners, good seats where you can sit back and relax. Mixologist Nico is always ready to surprise you. Be sure to ask him to make something special for you! You can also order something small to nibble on with your cocktails. Ma Jolie's kitchen takes care of the apero menu here.
On weekends, a DJ takes care of the atmosphere and you can sometimes dance between the tables.
Across the street from Jolie Joli, you can find the Jam Hotel, a hip hotel with a nice rooftop. Here, the team of Ma Jolie also has control over the restaurant on the ground floor.
In all three establishments, the passion and friendliness of the staff is striking.
