Remy Savage

Remy is well regarded among drinks connoisseurs for his extensive cocktails and spirit knowledge. After years of travelling and bartending across the world, Remy settled in Paris for 5 Years and became the face of Little Red Door where he was actively involved in promoting the bar through guest bartending shifts around the world. It was here that Remy playfully questioned the drinking experience, implementing philosophical notions in his taught process. Every detail from the lighting to the menu design serves a purpose in Remy’s mind.

During this time, he introduced revolutionary menus such as the ‘Evocative menu’ (a menu using art instead of words) and even put his team through 6 months of cultural and social experiments with ‘A menu of applied Architecture’.

Remy left Paris in 2017 to take his ‘dream job’ at the Artesian in the Langham Hotel, London. This is where Remy has worked for the past 2 years, re-building the reputation of one of the most notorious bars on the planet, using the media of menus to express individual ideas.

2017 was the year of ‘Determinism and Classic Drinks’ at the Artisan where the team explored the idea environment as a tool, asking questions such as “can a lime be defined by its terroir?” Or “How to isolate “minerals” (in mineral water) to underline the minerality of spirits?”

This small menu allowed them to spend the initial 6 months researching (with the help of statisticians, with a pole of 500) the basic association of taste to universal “moments”, in the hope of creating a personalised experience for the larger number. The result was a menu of 17 “life defining moments” served in the form of drinks, each of them using the statistically accurate suggested flavours. Remy enjoys pushing the boundaries within the drinks industry and strives for excellence.
