MK Guide Recommends
L'Escamoteur feels more like a magician’s workshop than a cocktail bar. Tucked into a restored townhouse just minutes from the Kamo River, it’s a whimsical space filled with vintage glassware, glowing curiosities, and bartenders who blend sleight of hand with serious mixology. The menu is imaginative—smoky, spiced, herbal, or mysterious—with ingredients often hidden until the drink hits the glass. Music spills from old speakers, and every cocktail arrives with a wink or a flourish. While walk-ins are welcome, it’s best to come early or wait your turn—the bar has earned cult status among both locals and global travelers.
