The Afternoon Tea starts at 15h00 and ends 17h00. Three of us arrived around 15h30 and there was quite a queue already (about 13 people before us). The lady who manages the bookings was courteous. She told us realistically we might have to wait around 90 minutes before we could be seated (as they only have 7 tables) i.e. 17h00. At the end we were seated at 17h45 .

The pot of Earl Grey tea was lovely.
The ones that I like:
from savory collection -
1. smoke salmon finger sandwich, with cucumber & cheese - yummy
2. baby potato & natural lemon paste in puff pastry - rich and interesting - citron with savoury puff pastry!
from sweet collection -
1. lemon tartlet - acidic and balance - refreshing for a hot summer afternoon
For those who like rich food: soft goat milk cheese tartlet is a must try.
For those with a sweet tooth: small cake "Opéra" was great.
Separate orders: Macarons (x2) + small cake (x1): we tried "Caramel with salted butter macaron" - balance flavour, not too sweet! "Pistachio macaron" was rich with nutty flavour, but the fondant was too sweet for my liking. "Dalloyau" was rich and definitely worth trying!
Other Info. :
For a pleasant dine-in experience (without too long a wait): plan to be there around 14h30 for a 15h00 start.
