When Balthazar London was first announced, one thing that we discovered would be exclusive to the London branch was to be its take on afternoon tea. And next week they'll be starting that afternoon tea service for the first time.
The first tea will be on Monday 20th with a menu put together by head pastry chef Régis Beauregard, who spent ten years at the Ritz's afternoon tea, so we can safely assume he knows a thing or two.
There will be three options to choose from. The traditional afternoon tea will be £25 with a selection of sandwiches (including crab and tarragon mayonnaise, smoked chicken and apricot and more), scones with clotted cream and jam and a selection of pastries (including lemon, raspberry and rose water macaroons, passion and coconut fool or almond rocher). All this comes with a selection of teas and herbal infusions.
In addition to the trad tea, you can add a glass of champagne to the above for £35 in total or just have the scones and tea for £10.
Afternoon tea at Balthazar starts on May 20th and runs Monday - Friday, 3-5pm. Find out more about Balthazar.
