Looking for a good tea room in Paris to treat yourself to a gourmet break and feel right at home? If so, here's one you'll want to take note of! Head for the Latin Quarter, on the edge of the Jardin du Luxembourg, to discover a picturesque and tasty address. Introducing Treize au Jardin, a tea room that blends Parisian vibe with British spirit, all in a warm, woodsy setting with old-world charm.
Behind this concept full of good vibes are two sisters at heart: Laurel Coker-Sanderson, originally from South Carolina, and Kaysa Von Sadow, of Swedish origin. Together, they initially founded the Treize tea room in the capital's 7th arrondissement, before taking over the Jardin du Luxembourg. Here, you'll find a spot that ticks all the boxes and gets everyone on the same wavelength. Whether you're looking for a date over coffee, a lunch break facing the Luco, or a drink with friends and some great tapas, Treize au Jardin caters for all the tastes of Parisians and tourists alike, offering excellent value for money and lovingly concocted Soul Food-inspired cuisine.
Brunch lovers will be delighted to find a week-longmenu featuring the signature dishes of their favorite gourmet break, including the Breakfast Plate (two fried eggs, smoked sausage, sweet potato rosti, tomato jam & homemade roll) also available in a vegetarian version, the French Toast & Chicken (French toast-style homemade bread, breaded chicken with pecans, apples, infused honey), pancakes and homemade granola. Bonus? This brunch offer is available until 6pm: perfect for after a night out or to wake up after a long, long lie-in.
Throughout the day, you'll find a coffee-shop offer enriched with coffee, sesame, matcha or turmeric lattes, hot or cold chocolate or mocchaccino, and other comforting drinks. For those with a sweet tooth, it's also hard to miss the American-style layers cakes, including the must-have carrot cake, red velvet and Oreo cake. A real favorite: the fluffy sponge cake doesn't have that dry consistency you'd find elsewhere, and the sugar content is correctly balanced so that the spicy or cocoa flavors come to the fore. And that's what dispels any preconceived notions one might have about American pastry.
Since this is a place to be at any time of day, lovers of cocktails and craft beers won't be disappointed. You won't want to miss the white mulled wine, an ultra-comforting recipe with notes of apples and spices. As for mixology, it's an opportunity to taste hot and cold creations with gourmet accents. For chocoholics, there's a chocolate cocktail, perfect for a regressive aperitif!
To accompany all this, we love the tapas to share, arranged in several cassolettes and unveiling a healthy cuisine inspired by the flavors of the world and emphasizing the good taste of fresh produce. These Southern tapas, featuring Laurel Sanderson's signature touch, include pulled pork with a barbecue sauce, a surprising jalapeño hummus, a creamy artichoke dip with vintage cheddar, a pimento cheese topped with roasted vegetables and a blend of old cheddar and Philly, tomato fritters (not fried) with tomatoes (not green), whose rich flavors testify to the good sourcing of the ingredients. Everything is excellent, right down to the breads, which include French toast and American scenes (aka buttermilk cookie). Priced at €17, this plate is a good option for those who are undecided and want to get an idea of Treize au Jardin 's cuisine and enjoy the spirit of sharing that reigns here.
As you can see, Treize au Jardin is a veritable nugget, ideally located for taking refuge in after a stroll around the Luco or a visit to the Pantheon. Treize au Jardin is sure to become your gourmet HQ, and can be enjoyed at any time of day!
