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.
