Every day, the spot transforms into an afternoon tea room, offering us the chance to settle down for a coffee, tea or even a gourmet tea time any day of the week, from 3pm to 7pm. An afternoon tea that's still affordable, costing €32 per person.

This tea time was imagined by Xavier Pistol for the savoury part and Bryan Esposito for the sweet part. A talented duo who have not finished delighting us.

The portions are generous. We have to admit, we didn't eat in the evening afterwards. The chicken mayonnaise and avocado-smoked tuna buns are tasty and spicy. It's not often that the savoury side of a sandwich is given a break from the classic club sandwich, so we couldn't agree more.

We loved the soft madeleines with their surprise lemon center, the all-chocolate éclair and the generous chocolate and pecan cookie. The excellent fresh exotic fruit salad is a welcome refreshment. As for pastries, the all-chocolate éclair with creamy Vanuatu choco is sure to please cocoa-lovers. Serve with tea, coffee, cappuccino or homemade hot chocolate.

If you feel like it, a selection of sweet and savoury dishes is also available à la carte, to enhance your tea time if you wish, or opt for a lighter snack. This allowed us to sample the excellent signature madeleine such as a mango and chestnut charlotte, a delight.
