Welcome to teatime at Écrin, an afternoon where elegance takes centre stage and flavours tell their story. Each Saturday and Sunday, our historic Old Town setting transforms into a sanctuary of refinement, where time slows, conversation flows, and the art of teatime is celebrated.
Inspired by classical English tradition, infused with French artistry, and elevated by a global selection of teas, afternoon tea at Écrin is perfect for celebrations, intimate gatherings, or simply indulging in a quiet escape. This is not only an invitation to enjoy a refined culinary journey but also to take part in a tradition that has been cherished for centuries and continues to evolve in new and inspiring ways at Écrin.
Under the guidance of our Head Chef, Alexey Aleksandrov, the expe-rience unfolds in two exquisite movements: a savoury prelude followed by a crescendo of delicate sweetness. Begin with refined savouries such as delicate finger sandwiches and flavourful bites showcasing the chef’s signature creativity. Continue with exquisite pastries, cakes and confections, each crafted with precision and artistry.
To accompany, explore a hand-selected collection of rare and premium teas from around the world. Perhaps a soothing white tea from the Himalayas, a vibrant green from Japan, or a bold black from Malawi. Every element is designed to delight the eye, awaken the palate and honour the timeless ritual of teatime.
What makes afternoon tea at Écrin truly unique is the live music that accompanies the experience. Each performance is a musical journey, adding romance and timeless charm to the setting. The gentle sounds enrich the atmosphere, making teatime not just a meal but a moment suspended in beauty and grace.
