Sinopsis

An Immediate Bestseller | A Bloomberg Best Book of 2025

'Philippe Collin is a magnificent storyteller. This novel fascinates at every turn.' Elle

When the Ritz becomes the Nazis’ favourite spot, its Jewish bartender has no choice but to keep working.

Paris, 1940. Despite the Occupation, the prestigious Ritz Hotel has managed to remain open. Its bar becomes a favourite spot for Nazis eager for a taste of French refinement. Its celebrated barman, Frank Meier, is forced to adapt to this new clientele. But he is hiding a secret that no one can find out: he is Jewish.

With every word and smile, the atmosphere becomes more and more suffocating. Yet Frank refuses to flee. With the unwitting help of the Nazis, Frank eventually uncovers secrets that help keep him and his loved ones alive ― especially Luciano, his young apprentice, and Blanche, wife of the director of the Ritz and Frank’s impossible love ― both of whom are Jewish too.

Betrayal, lies, and backstabbing raise the stakes for the bartender ― with Frank always just one step ahead of fate.

Based on a true story, The Barman of the Ritz is as chilling as it is fascinating.
