One of the things we love to do when the cold weather sets in in Paris is to head off to the tea rooms to enjoy the best tea-times in Paris. And in this festive end-of-year period, it's Christmas tea times that await us, like the Peninsula Paris ' Christmas tea time 2023!
Created by chef Anne Coruble, the talented pastry chef who, for the occasion, gives pride of place to seasonal products such as pears, citrus fruits and chocolate, as well as David Bizet for the savoury side, this afternoon tea is sure to please.
Come and discover it until December 30, 2023, Monday to Saturday, 3pm to 6pm. Price: €80 for the 2023 Christmas tea-time at the Peninsula Paris. And to whet your appetite, there's nothing like discovering or rediscovering our test of last year's tea-time, below!
Head to the Lobby Restaurant to relax in a magical setting with impressive volumes. For Christmas, the place is decked out in its finest finery to enchant us from the moment we arrive. A large, magical Christmas tree and finely illuminated decorations are the order of the day.
Once you've settled in, it's time for the menu. But what exactly does this delicious tea-time offer? First of all, there's the choice of hot beverage. Naturally, we go for the Viennese hot chocolate, undoubtedly one of the best in Paris. We're also tempted by the delicious macha latte with soy milk, which is both easily digestible and creamy.
The sweets begin with an appetizer of lightly poached pear, citrus-lemon infusion and arugula-ginger gel.
We then move on to the savoury part, imagined by David Bizet. Forget the classic finger sandwiches and make way for refined, richly flavored bites. A baba with langoustine, a tartlet with button mushrooms and ginger, a cannelloni of cauliflower with pickles and grapes, topped with a hint of Sologne caviar.
The tasting continues with the first plate of pastries, revealing a Paris-Brest revisited with rye and a chestnut cookie with a melting heart of toasted vanilla.
The 3rd plate features a traditional scone with pearled sugar, sprinkled with vanilla, to be eaten with Isigny cream and jam. There's also an all-chocolate dessert in the shape of a raviole made with praline and an all-chocolate cookie, all surrounded by a fine milk chocolate jelly.
So, in the mood for a festive tea-time in a magical setting? Are you looking forward to the Peninsula Paris 2023 Christmas Tea Time, created by one of the world's top pastry chefs? Head to the palace to tantalize your taste buds!
