The Berkeley London, a
very prestigious hotel in London, has come up with a fashionable twist to the
otherwise traditional afternoon tea.
The designer afternoon tea
appointment is called, Prêt-à-Portea,
and it is inspired by the themes and colours of the fashion world.
Prêt-à-Portea is served in the Caramel Room daily from 1pm to 6pm.
The
menu is transformed every six months to follow the changing seasons in
fashion. So besides their renowned tea infusions and delightful canapés,
the main attraction comes with the collection of cakes and fancies that bear
big names in fashion and each and everyone is designed with the brand in mind.
Some
examples are:
• Valentino
orange and ginger clutch cake closed with oversized chocolate bow
• Bottega Veneta
colour blocking pink and gold pear mousse and clementine cremeux coat with
matching macaroon button
• Dolce and Gabbana
signature gold starred chocolate éclair dress filled with hazelnut cream

• Lanvin show-stopping cassis

• Sonia

Prêt-à-Portea adds a
creative twist to the classic elements of the traditional English afternoon tea
with cakes and pastries resembling the latest catwalk designs for
the style conscious.
So if you are in
London, don’t forget the mandatory appointment for every fashionista who wants
to be known as such!
