Pictura Bar is housed in the fabulously grand historic Ritz Hotel, given a five-star Mandarin Oriental makeover in 2021. This excellent cocktail bar lies just beyond the top-hatted doormen to the right as you enter the lobby.

Review

It's a 'clean', attractive lounge, with its main feature the ornate gold-framed portraits of artisans and local sportspeople in period dress.

The cocktail menu mainly comprises classics along with contemporary classics and those we sampled were excellently executed. The food here is also delicious and the bar team super friendly.

In addition to Pictura, weather permitting, the bar experience at the Mandarin Oriental Ritz extends out to the terrace with El Jardín del Ritz.
