What could be better than a cosy tea time for a magical day? In winter, the streets sparkle and sparkle with illumination. Christmas markets add to the magical atmosphere. But we love winter tea time. So here are the best addresses to warm your little heart.
Gourmet tea time at the Hôtel Lutetia
For a timeless gourmet break, Lutetia’s sweet and savory tea time is simply perfect. Under its magnificent glass roof, you can enjoy an exceptional afternoon tea, imagined by chef Nicolas Guercio. What’s on the menu? Delicacies that will take you back to childhood: chocolate teddy bears with a heart of tender marshmallow, a savory Mont-Blanc with blackcurrant and Timut pepper, or irresistibly cheesy salted churros with tomme fleurie. We also recommend our homemade cardamom hot chocolate, which goes wonderfully well with these little treats. A festive tea time to discover with your eyes closed!
📍Location: 45 Bd Raspail, 75006 Paris
Every Saturday and Sunday, 3pm – 6pm.
Casetta, and its comforting snack
Nestled in the chic 5 particulier hotel, Casetta is first and foremost an ultra-cosy restaurant where people love to sit down. At snack time, take the time to enjoy a delicious hot drink in its indoor lounge, which offers a beautiful view of the private garden. Hot chocolate, coffee, tea… there’s no shortage of choice. As for pastries, we recommend the Saint-Honoré, which is absolutely perfect. A secret address we recommend!
Les Deux-Magots and its gourmet tea time
This French institution is one of the finest literary cafés in Paris. From Hemingway to Sartre, the Paris of yesterday and today loves to take refuge in this unique place. On the gourmet side, we recommend you try the house’s iconic hot chocolate: creamy, gourmand and regressive as we like it. And for those with a sweet tooth, a whole host of pastries are presented to you on a tray. We’re particularly fond of l’Énigme d’Auguste, created in partnership with Arnaud Larher. A pretty chocolate shell served with hot chocolate to reveal its mysteries. A special mention also goes to the tarte tatin, served while still warm, with its butter-melting apples. A wonderful interlude to discover at snack time.
