The Berkeley Café

Casual, yet impossibly chic, natural tones and soft curves bring café culture to The Berkeley, creating the perfect space for an informal meeting or impromptu get-together.

In these sleek surrounds designed by French interior designer, Rémi Tessier, teas, tisanes and fine wines are accompanied by signature plates – from dawn until dusk.

With Cédric Grolet’s patisserie alongside, a ‘petit déjeuner’ of perfectly layered viennoiserie awaits. Or simply stop by throughout the day for his signature desserts and goûtea, Grolet's fusion of goûter (the long-standing French ritual of sweet snacking) and the best of British afternoon tea.

Time for Goûtea

A showcase of pâtisserie perfection, Goûtea fuses the French tradition of sweet snacking and the best of British afternoon tea. This season, caramels, pralines, and burnished colours reflect the arrival of autumn. Stay sharp with a larger-than-life ‘Lemon’, revealing a cream cheese ganache and lemon curd centre, while the indulgent Vanilla Flower and Pistachio Cookie offer a fresh twist on classic flavours. Why not elevate the Goûtea experience with accompanying champagne?

Le Petit Déjeuner

For a deliciously different start to the day, stop by The Berkeley Café for Cédric Grolet's spin on breakfast. Opt for a curated selection of signatures, including petite viennoiserie, an exquisite Waffle Flower or slice of French toast, followed by fresh fruit perfection. Or go à la carte for just-baked croissants and daily specials, accompanied by a get-up-and-go juice, coffee, tea – or glass of ice-cold champagne for extra indulgence.
