CoChinChina

Conceived by renowned mixologist Inés de los Santos, CoChinChina is a dazzling tribute to French Indochina nestled in the heart of Palermo. The moment you enter its moody, neon‑laden space, the U‑shaped bar—with over 30 seats and a mosaic crafted from crushed and lacquered eggshells—draws you in like a glamorously lit stage. Designed by Eme Carranza, the layered décor is full of nods to Vietnam—ornate lanterns, mirrored staircases, and even a wall stocked with bagged (not real) goldfish as a quirky nod to good luck. For a more intimate vibe, sink into plush booths or venture upstairs to CoChinChina Arriba, where you can order a Southeast-Asian-inspired tasting menu paired with cocktails—and enjoy the rustic terrace atmosphere. The cocktail menu is a playground of innovation and homage. Choose between "Clásicos de Inés" and CoChinChina originals. Signature drinks include the Dijon Bloody Mary—with Dijon mustard in the mix—and the Jazmín Shanghái, a poetic blend of whisky, umeshu, and jasmine tea. Another standout is La Vida Que Merezco (“The Life I Deserve”), a tequila‑forward creation with pineapple, vanilla, and umami-infused gin. The kitchen, led by Chef Juan Carlino, matches the bar’s ambition with Franco‑Vietnamese dishes—think wonton‑wrapped prawns and inventive banh‑mi. Meanwhile, the vibe pulses with cosmopolitan energy—live DJs spin beats late into the night, and the space regularly ranks among the world's top bars: currently #22 on Th. With its seamless blend of theatrical décor, culinary inventiveness, and cocktails that defy expectations, CoChinChina offers a glamorous, sensory-rich escape—a vibrant journey where every detail is both bold and beautiful.
