Opening in March 2026 in Kensington, Chat Noir! will take guests to the world’s first cabaret club for a night of immersive theatre and themed dining.
Experience 1890s Montmartre: A journey to the world’s first cabaret
Running from March to September 2026, groups can expect immersive cabaret theatre with dazzling routines and live music from virtuoso performers.
Visiting groups will be transported to the the absinthe-fuelled streets of Montmartre, Paris in the 1890s where aristocrats and bohemians enjoy decadent pleasures.
Immersive dining and Absinthe-fuelled entertainment at Chat Noir!
The dining experience features a three-course meal inspired by historic menus and culinary archives created by executive chef Ashley Clarke. Bar de Absinthe will serve up a range of themed drinks, including absinthe, champagne, and Belle Époque cocktails.
Co-founder and creative director William Kunhardt said: “For us, 19th century Paris has always been high on the list of worlds to take people to. But it shot to the top when we started digging into Le Chat Noir, realising just how daring and provocative it was.
“This was a crazy crucible where ‘cabaret’ as an art form was literally being invented, where the nobility of Paris would flock at dead of night to cut loose, be set free by these wild artists. It was all the brainchild of this one impresario, Rodolphe Salis, who died pretty young, before he could really see what he’d achieved.”
Evening performances take place at 7pm from Tuesdays to Sundays, with weekend matinee shows at 1pm.
