The bar plays a major role in how the brasserie works and how guests experience it.<\/p>\n<h3>Creating a new concept<\/h3>\n<p>The months leading up to the opening revolved around three questions. How do you get a new team up to speed? How do you bring a concept to life? And which dishes and drinks should be on the menu?<\/p>\n<h3>Utrecht and wine<\/h3>\n<p>Utrecht is a city that lends itself well to wine, and the guests who visit Marie reflect that. That\u2019s why we designed the bar around wine from the very beginning:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>An extensive wine list with a selection of surprising bottles<\/li>\n<li>An extensive wine list with wines available by both the bottle and the glass<\/li>\n<li>A bar where the bottles are on display and the glasses are in full view<\/li>\n<li>A dedicated bar team with extensive wine knowledge<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>Why the bar matters<\/h3>\n<p>Returning guests are the foundation of every hospitality business. A good glass of wine and someone behind the bar who can tell you more about it directly contribute to that. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.grandbarmarie.nl\/en\/contact\/\">Feel free to drop by<\/a> for a glass.
