HANDS DOWN AT MARIAGE FRÈRES FOR THE BEST TEA IN PARIS

/ Mariage Frères/

It’s teatime ! Step aside Queen Elizabeth because if you thought that was an English thing, think again. Nobody does tea better than the French and if you’re looking for la crème de la crème it’s hands down at Mariage Frères.

The colonial style tearoom will take you back in time to a period when two brothers went exploring exotic places like Ceylan and Darjeeling, searching for tea leaves.

Today, the very elegant tearoom represents a good 700 different kinds and counting. Amongst these varieties, the magical blue tea has fascinated both adults and children for years. I highly suggest ordering a “Cactus Bleu” iced tea when warm weather comes around. If you’re looking to lunch as well, the menu is simply divine and every dish shares one common ingredient : tea. You will have a hard time choosing, believe me.

And don’t even get me started on dessert. The new-age crème brûlée tarte they’ve named “Coup de soleil” (that’s sunburn in French!) will bring you back to childhood summertime, no sunscreen required!
