What started off as a sixth month brainchild trial of Head Pastry Chef Mourad Khiat turned into a more than six year phenomenon. A clever twist on Ready-to-Wear and the runway, Prêt-à-Portea presents you with a wide assortment of tea to pair with your fashion-inspired pastries. Don't believe me? Ask the dishes!
Every six months the "collection" of pastries changes. Currently, the set of tea plates are graced by the Autumn 2012 collection, which I had the pleasure of experiencing. My personal favorites were the Burberry Prorsum (layered praline, dulcey cream, and chocolate mousse trench coat topped with stylish violet umbrella) and the Manolo Blahnik ("Neurotica" pink polka dot cake pumps with gianduja cream). And may I suggest that you try the Caramel Indulgence tea? (If you don't like it, you can always switch your tea).
While I always like dressing up, the dress code is "smart casual" (no shorts, vests, sportswear, flip-flops, ripped jeans, or baseball caps).
Tea at The Berkeley (located in the Knighstbridge section of London) will run you approximately £39.00 per person and is offered between 1:00pm and 5:30pm every day. And for your convenience, you can click here to find reservation info. Bon appétit!
