Sometimes all it takes is a sip for the journey to begin. At Bar Bissa, each cocktail is a stopover on the map of Africa, an encounter between local traditions and modern creativity. Here, liquid art becomes a language, a way to tell stories and share emotions.

Ivorian Koutoukou, character and warmth

Take the Ivorian koutoukou. Powerful, raw, with a distinct taste of artisanally distilled sugar cane. At the Bissa bar, it transforms into a vibrant cocktail, sweetened with a spiced syrup or enlivened by a few drops of lime. With the first sip, the whole of Côte d’Ivoire is revealed, authentic and warm.

Ginger: the spicy note that awakens the senses

Then there’s ginger, the essential ingredient. Spicy, invigorating, almost cheeky, it gives character to the bar’s creations. In a light infusion or spicy syrup, it evokes the bustling markets, fragrant alleyways, and the unique energy one breathes on the continent.

Bissap: Africa in deep red

And what about bissap? Intense red, slightly tangy, floral… Hibiscus juice is an African treasure that the Bissa bar enhances in elegant cocktails. Paired with Congolese rum or simply chilled with a few ice cubes, it evokes the sweetness and vitality of West Africa.

A break under the pergola

There are those afternoons when you sit under the pergola of the Bissa bar. The air is warm, filled with the discreet chirping of birds, while smooth music fills the space in the background. In the glass, the bissap dances with notes of ginger, the Congolese rum reveals its spices. And suddenly, you forget the surrounding city. You could be in Assinie, lulled by the breeze and tropical flavors.

When taste becomes memory

These creations don’t just quench your thirst. They leave a lasting impression. Because we’ll always remember that drink shared under the pergola one afternoon, while the music drifted gently and the world seemed to slow down.

And you, what African flavors would you like to discover under the pergola, carried by soft smooth music?
