It's Not The Louvr Gallery Bar is the last place that makes up the "French trio" along with Très Français and Très Branché. Unlike the previous two projects, Bar Gallery does not follow exclusively French culinary traditions – here customers will find a fusion of various cuisines.
Interior is done to function the multifunctional concept of the place: Bar Gallery consists of two small rooms. Upon the entrance, guests are greeted by eight different versions of Mona Lisa portrait, all done by contemporary Ukrainian artists. The large white hall is dedicated to artists while the small one is hijacked by the photographers. The exposition is promised to be regularly updated.

The menu's special is the crêpe bar, with the newly introduced in Kyiv buckwheat crêpes. Besides, various main dishes, Basque pinchos, snacks and desserts are available as well. To give an idea, the following dishes are on the menu: salad with citrus, cashew and chia seeds, spring rolls with baked pepper sauce, champignons carpaccio with truffle oil, dried tomatoes and zucchini flan, and pear cheesecake.
