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.

Every element is beautifully crafted. From the sleek surrounds, designed by French interior designer, Rémi Tessier, to the menus – as teas, tisanes and fine wines are accompanied by signature plates from dawn until dusk.

This is also the setting for a curated collection of Cedric Grolet’s patisserie, from a ‘petit déjeuner’ of delicately layered viennoiserie, to signature desserts that are individual works of edible art. And when the clock strikes afternoon tea, it’s time for Goûtea, Grolet's fusion of goûter (the long-standing French tradition of sweet snacking) and the best of British ritual.

Time for Goûtea

A showcase of pâtisserie elegance, Goûtea fuses the French tradition of sweet snacking with the best-of-British afternoon tea. From Fruits and Flowers to cookies and donuts, this season’s menu is a celebration of heady summer moments. Following savoury navettes, discover the chef’s latest miniature masterpieces. The basil Strawberry illusion channels picnics in the park. Slice into the sun-kissed freshness of a raspberry charlotte trompe-l'œil. Then enjoy the deep-red promise of the Cherry illusion, a Cedric Grolet debut.

Le Petit Déjeuner

For a deliciously different start to the day, stop by The Berkeley Café for Cedric 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.
