Afternoon Tea

Goûtea at The Berkeley

Cedric Grolet's pastry put through a British afternoon tea, in a pale cafe rather than a tea room.

Hotel£50 to £80

Goûtea is a joke that works in two languages: goûter is the French habit of something sweet in the afternoon, and this is that crossed with the British ritual. It is the work of Cedric Grolet, the pâtissier whose trompe-l'oeil fruit made him the most photographed pastry chef alive, and it runs in the Berkeley Cafe - Rémi Tessier's pale, curved room - or at the chef's counter, rather than in a panelled lounge.

Finger sandwiches and warm scones arrive as they would anywhere; what is different is the sweet half, which is Grolet's. The hotel is blunt that it can accommodate no dietary requirements at all, because of what goes into them.
