Signatures to savour
The chef’s seasonal signatures are an edible ode to autumn in all its mellow fruitfulness. Pick of the bunch are the Coffee and Grapefruit Flowers, each delicately piped creation revealing layer upon layer of flavour and flair. There are two takes on ‘Fruits’, too. The Apple is a trompe-l'œil triumph, a beautifully polished, just-plucked piece that cuts open to reveal apple dill gel and a creamy ganache. It’s the perfect match for the oversized Blueberry, bursting with fresh berry notes. Meanwhile, cosy days are best spent with this season’s cookie that’s autumn in a nutshell, marrying roasted hazelnuts with smooth caramel and gianduja.
Time for Goûtea
A showcase of pâtisserie elegance, Goûtea fuses the French tradition of sweet snacking and the best-of-British afternoon tea. For autumn, expect in-miniature creations of the season’s signatures. This menu of all things bold and beautiful includes the fairytale-like green apple filled with crème fraîche ganache and dill-laced fruit – as well as a cocoa-rich coffee ‘Flower’, where silky crémeux petals give way to crisp praline. From savoury to sweet, course by course it’s a picture-perfect collection.
CHEF’S COUNTER
For front row seats to the theatre of the pâtisserie, Cedric Grolet presents the Chef’s Counter. This one-of-a-kind dining experience places guests at the pass, giving a rare window into the kitchen – and the techniques and flair of the pastry chefs. Enjoy a pastry tasting menu of seasonally shifting masterpieces - six sweet and two savoury courses - sip champagne and watch showstopping creations come to life.
CELEBRATION CAKES BY CEDRIC GROLET
From that standout feast to a magnificent wedding centrepiece, celebration cakes by Cedric Grolet are exquisite, edible works of art. Choose from three re-imaginations of the classic Saint Honoré which all cater for 70 or more guests: a tall and tierred creation, a showstopping single tierred cake or stunning number-shaped delights, all available in either decadent vanilla or chocolate.
Le Petit Déjeuner
For a deliciously different start to the day, Cedric Grolet puts his spin on breakfast at The Berkeley Café. 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.
