Entering this tiny jewel-like storefront is like walking in off the Champs Elysees. Moss, ochre and saffron tones surround European china and sumptuous brocade curtains as a dramatic crystal chandelier hangs from the balcony. Jazzy French songs play low as locals and guests from the nearby Peninsula hotel drop in for French cafe fare and gourmet afternoon teas. Dishes include cherry-filled pancakes boule, assorted omelets, mushroom leek quiche, pomegranate salad, goat cheese and watercress sandwiches, escargot soup and chocolate eclairs.
When to Go:
Tea is served Tuesday through Saturday from 3pm to 5pm, with options ranging from simple to deluxe.
