Time for Goûtea

A showcase of pâtisserie elegance, Goûtea fuses the French tradition of sweet snacking with the best of British afternoon tea. For winter, expect in-miniature creations that celebrate the season’s finest flavours. This menu of all things bold and beautiful includes the indulgent Truffle Ham & Cheese Navette, combining whipped brown butter, tender ham, comté, earthy truffle, and a tangy hint of gherkins – as well as the luxurious Pistachio, where layers of crunchy praline, silky ganache, and vibrant pistachio gel create a nutty masterpiece.
