An impeccable afternoon tea that marries a traditional form and location with bold, playful pastry. From the Louise Bourgeois art to the illustrated menu, every detail of the Nicolas Rouzard afternoon tea at Jean-Georges at The Connaught in London’s Mayfair, complements the overall experience. The sandwiches blend British combinations with contemporary flavors, from Montgomery cheddar with peach chutney to salmon with chipotle corn and coriander on rye. The pastry is sublime, with whimsical touches such as cotton candy and a chocolate fondue. The tea selection is exquisite, the service effortless. Don’t want to leave? Pick up one of Rouzard’s signature pastry ‘hounds’ from The Connaught Pâtisserie on your way out.
