THOMAS, O’FADOLI’S MIXOLOGIST
Thomas grew up in Provence in a family of spirits producers, so becoming a bartender came naturally to him. A former flair bartending competitor, the art of juggling bottles, he has worked in prestigious venues, from the Beau-Rivage Palace in Lausanne to the Fairmont Monte Carlo. He has also taken part in numerous private events in Cannes and Monaco and has lent his expertise to the Pernod Ricard group for over fifteen years. Along the way, he has honed his craft and served a discerning clientele, notably during the Cannes Film Festival.
Back in his native region, Thomas continues to explore mixology, working with local produce as the seasons change. Passionate about botany, he grows some of the ingredients he uses and forages for wild plants, drawing out their aromas in his creations. His approach is both precise and instinctive, much like that of a chef, with every ingredient given its rightful place.
Behind the O’Fadoli bar, Thomas now brings this expertise to a distinctive cocktail menu, guided by precise technique and a deep understanding of flavour.
