La Petite Maison Introduces Déjà Vu: A New Beverage Menu With Exciting Mocktails

Déjà Vu

Globally renowned restaurant group, La Petite Maison (LPM), is proud to unveil its latest creation: Déjà Vu, an innovative beverage menu with a wide array of mocktails conceived as a vintage French editorial magazine. Reflecting LPM’s commitment to adapting to local markets and tastes, the menu places a strong emphasis on zero-alcohol creations that cater to the preferences of Doha’s guests while maintaining the brand’s signature flair. After charming guests in Dubai and Abu Dhabi, Déjà Vu now makes its way to Doha this September 8th, inviting diners to sip their way through sun-soaked memories of the French Riviera.

A tribute to the Golden Age of the Côte d’Azur, Déjà Vu weaves the sun-drenched nostalgia of the 50s to 90s with LPM's signature approach to contemporary mixology infused with the essence of the South of France. More than just a menu, Déjà Vu takes guests on an immersive journey where memory, imagination and nostalgia intertwine. Think Brigitte Bardot in St. Tropez, Sunday crosswords by the sea, and long summer lunches that stretch into golden hour. As the name suggests, the Déjà Vu menu reads like a magazine, inviting guests to flip through pages of horoscopes, vintage-style illustrations, and whimsical stories that celebrate icons of fashion, art, film, sport, and culture that have shaped the glamour of this picturesque region. From the moment the Hermès Birkin made its mark on fashion history after Jean-Louis Dumas and Jane Birkin’s serendipitous meeting on a plane, to Graham Hill best-known for his 5 Grand Prix victories at the Monaco Formula 1, ultimately giving him the name of ‘Mr. Monaco’, and the words of Ernest Hemingway capturing the essence of the French Riviera in The Garden of Eden, Déjà Vu tells the stories of icons that have made the South of France the emblem of true style and laid-back sophistication.

The new menu is the latest evolution of LPM’s beverage program, offering fresh serves inspired by the classics, made extra special with various gifts and garnishes that amplify the story behind each drink. Pioneering the ‘mirrored menu’ concept, Déjà Vu offers 10 mocktails that can also be served with spirits, allowing guests to immerse themselves in the magazine in exactly the same way no matter their choice. Highlights include the following mocktails:

• Jane: A radiant mocktail inspired by the Hermès Birkin bag with notes of Charentais melon, this beverage comes garnished with a custom French silk scarf, a nod to the iconic handbag that changed fashion forever.
• St. Tropez Colada: A mocktail inspired by the French film “Le Gendarme de Saint-Tropez,” this tropical blend of coconut and pineapple is served with a nostalgic touch: a mini Walkman playing the soundtrack "Douliou Douliou St Tropez" from the golden days of cinema.
• Grand Prix: An ode to ‘Mr. Monaco’, this mocktail carefully pairs elderflower with the sweet flavours of pear topped with Lyre’s zero-alcohol Classico sparkling, making for a refreshing mocktail to transport guests to the race circuits of South of France. 

Tibor Krascsenics, La Petite Maison’s Global Beverage Director, says, “Déjà Vu explores the essence of LPM’s legacy in the South of France, while elevating our world-class bar programme to a new level of design and experience. The iconic moments that shaped the elegance of the Côte d’Azur as we know it today, and the inspiration drawn from the magazines of the time, are reflected in every ingredient chosen to create each mocktail, We’re excited to captivate guests as they step into the charm and sophistication of the vintage French Riviera with each page, and toast any occasion with each of our new carefully crafted beverages.”

Recognised for its commitment to quality and a true sense of French joie de vivre, La Petite Maison continues to captivate guests worldwide with its simple yet refined offerings. With locations in London, Abu Dhabi, Riyadh, Miami, Las Vegas, Hong Kong, and Mykonos, and future openings in New York, Boston, and Kuwait, LPM remains a beloved destination for those seeking a unique and elevated dining experience. As part of LPM Doha’s prestige bar program, Déjà Vu brings a new level of creativity to the global dining scene.
