EXPERIMENTAL PORTO | BAR MANAGER

Descrição da Função

ABOUT US

Founded in 2007 by childhood friends Olivier Bon, Pierre-Charles Cros, and Romée De Goriainoff, and joined by Xavier Padovani in 2010, Experimental has redefined the codes of hospitality by offering a unique experience of contemporary elegance and warmth to a discerning international clientele.

Renowned for bringing the cocktail bar culture to Paris, the group now operates cocktail bars, wine bars, restaurants and, since 2015, hotels.

Over the years, its destinations have expanded from major European capitals such as Paris, London, and Rome to more seasonal locations like Ibiza and Menorca in the summer, or Verbier and Val d’Isère in the winter. The group also has properties in Venice, New York, Biarritz, and the Cotswolds.

Experimental service philosophy is built around three core principles: the quality of the products, the precision of the service, and the genuine warmth of our welcome.
