Signatures to savour
Frost-white flowers. Pistachio-studded biscuits. Cedric Grolet’s seasonal creations turn winter into an edible wonderland. Illusion cakes add festive magic, from the crunch of the hero ‘Hazelnut’ to the vibrant green and purple ‘Pistachio,’ unveiling praline crunch and silky ganache. A wintry bouquet of Flowers – almond-vanilla, coconut, and chocolate orange – invites sharing, while the gianduja and caramel hazelnut Paris-Brest steals the show as a stunning seasonal centrepiece.
Time for Goûtea
A showcase of pâtisserie elegance, Goûtea fuses the French tradition of sweet snacking and the best-of-British afternoon tea. For winter, a trio of savoury navettes are the prelude to a sweet selection of the chef’s miniature masterpieces. Christmas just wouldn’t be Christmas without chocolate orange, reimagined here as a cocoa-rich ‘Flower’. While the ‘Hazelnut Hyde Park’ pays a trompe-l'œil tribute to our Royal Park neighbour. Capturing festive flavours and flair, this season’s menu is winter… in a nutshell.
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.
