Le Comptoir Monin: a new sensory stopover in Paris for lovers of creative drinks

The century-old Monin brand opens its very first Parisian space in the Marais district. An immersive place for all lovers of cocktails, lattes and syrups.

It’s a first in the Paris region: since June 20, 2025, Monin, the famous French syrup maker founded in 1912, has opened the doors of its Comptoir Monin in the heart of the Marais, at 5 rue du Bourg l’Abbé. Already known in over 150 countries, the brand has finally chosen Paris to offer a unique, sensory and participatory experience.

Halfway between boutique and inspiration workshop, this immersive space goes beyond simply selling products. The Comptoir Monin is a laboratory of taste experiments: cocktails, mocktails, matcha lattes or chai revisited, each drink becomes a creation. More than 150 Monin flavours are available, from classic perfumes to limited editions and new products to be tasted on the spot.

A new landmark for mixology enthusiasts in Paris

In Paris, the city of gastronomy and culinary experimentation, this opening is strategic. The Marais, in particular, attracts a curious and creative clientele in search of new taste experiences. Thanks to its monthly masterclasses, Le Comptoir is becoming a regular rendezvous for mixologists, baristas and the simply curious wishing to learn about the art of taste.

These workshops, starting in autumn 2025, will be led by experts. Each session will enable participants to discover a theme, technique or ingredient around which to create original recipes. This positioning reinforces Monin’s image as an innovative and accessible brand.

A store for professionals and individuals

While industry professionals are Monin’s historic target, the Comptoir is also open to private customers in search of inspiration. All can discover the products, test them, ask questions and benefit from personalized advice. It’s also an excellent opportunity for Parisians to rediscover syrups in a different way, by exploring their potential in seasonal recipes or at culinary events.

An address to add to your Parisian itinerary

With its extended opening hours(Tuesday to Saturday, 11am to 7pm), central location and participatory approach, Comptoir Monin is a must for your next Parisian stroll. Whether to enhance a home-cooked brunch, sublimate a cocktail or offer an original gift, it’s a choice stop for all lovers of fine flavors.
