From 1 December to 7 January, La Patisserie presents a festive afternoon tea for two, where French pastry craftsmanship meets the pleasure of conversation.
Sweet creations include a citrus-glazed madeleine, Bordeaux canelé, mince pie and delicate White Forest gateau. On the savory side, lobster brioche, truffle-egg croissant and a beetroot éclair with goat’s cheese offer unexpected contrasts.
Warm scones, clotted cream and jam complete the ritual, best enjoyed slowly, with another cup poured and nowhere else to be.
