Le bon Tea Time - l'Officine snack at the Hôtel du Louvre

Are you looking for a delicious, affordable in an enchanting setting? Then it's time to stop off at the Hôtel du Louvre, this beautiful hotel which, as its name suggests, is just a stone's throw from the Louvre carrousel. Step through the doors and take a seat in the Officine du Louvre, a verdant bar with a sublime glass roof that transforms into a tea room at snack time, every day from 3.30 to 5.30 pm.

The magical setting is the perfect place to indulge in pastry chef Julien Delhome's creations, prepared with seasonal ingredients. Tea time consists of an assortment of travel cakes, a dessert of your choice and an exceptional tea or coffee.

A pretty variety of gourmet pastries that change with the seasons await you. They range from Parisian entremets to fig tarts, not forgetting a crazy, generous Saint-Honoré or a seasonal fruit salad for the more sensible. To accompany these desserts, you can choose between a Malongo coffee, a famous Nicois coffee-roaster since 1934 and a leader in organic and fair-trade coffees, or a tea from the prestigious Maison Dammann Frères.
