Afternoon tea set with tiered pastries, finger sandwiches, and cups of tea on a marble table by a window with pink flowers.

The Experience

From the moment you enter this stylish Mayfair restaurant, art by Louise Bourgeois and stained-glass by Jean-Michel Othoniel set the scene. Jean Jullien’s playful illustrations hint at bold flavours and delightful surprises ahead.

Begin with exotic teas or champagne for added sparkle. Enjoy finger sandwiches where British classics meet bold South East-Asian flavours. Then, warm English scones with Cornish clotted cream and homemade strawberry jam complete the experience.

Tiered stand of colorful pastries and cakes, including glossy domed desserts and piped cream sweets on white plates.

Seasonal Flavours

It’s said we eat first with our eyes – and our cake stand full of bright and beautifully decorated pâtisseries is a visual feast. Our picture-perfect cakes are carefully designed to celebrate seasonal flavours, such as hazelnut praliné rocher, matcha choux with cherry jam, and a strawberry tart finished with almond frangipane and vanilla curd. A new Connaughty signature sable biscuit with a delicate layer of jam, inspired by the beloved British jammy dodger, is a delightful addition. Each item is delicately handcrafted by our team of pâtissiers.

From Friday to Sunday, our resident harpist will perform.
