Tea time near the Relais Saint-Honoré in Paris

1/ Senoble.

Upstairs in its shop, the famous electric-blue brand welcomes you for tea time! Opened in 2017, it offers top-of-the-range pastries. In a refined library-lounge, take the time to enjoy one of the house specialities: millefeuille, cheesecake or éclair.

Pâtisserie Senoble, 11 rue des Petits Champs, 75001 Paris.

2/ Angelina.

Anton Rumpelmayer and his son founded a tea room at 226 rue de Rivoli, named after his daughter-in-law, “Angelina”. From the day it opened, it was frequented by the greatest names of the aristocracy and by great artists such as Proust and Coco Chanel.

Here you can enjoy the famous hot chocolate known as “L’Africain” in a sumptuous Belle Époque setting!

Angelina, 226 rue de Rivoli, 75001 Paris.

3/ Toraya Boutique.

Fancy a Japanese escape? Enjoy a tea at Toraya, one of the oldest Japanese pâtisseries, which opened in Paris in 1980! Genmaicha, sencha, gyokuro… so many flavours to discover, served with one of the seasonal sweets on the menu. At the moment you can try the Camélia, a white azuki paste sweet tinted pink and yellow, or the mugwort Daifuku, a rice cake filled with red azuki paste and flavoured with mugwort.

4/ Nina’s Vendôme.

In a pink and white cocoon, just as Queen Marie-Antoinette’s tea room might have looked had she created one, discover the Queen’s favourite pastries. Since 1778, the secret recipes devised by Nina Diaz have been passed down from generation to generation. The teas are flavoured with fruit from the King’s kitchen garden in Versailles. The house’s signature flavour is Ceylon tea with apple and rose.

Nina’s Vendôme, 29 rue Danielle Casanova, 75001 Paris.

5/ Café Verlet.

At 256 rue Saint-Honoré, in a retro, wood-panelled setting, enjoy a coffee roasted in the purest tradition. Café Verlet is the oldest café in Paris to roast its coffee the French way. The shop also offers excellent teas chosen from among the best in the world. Around a wooden pedestal table, enjoy one of the many pastries on the menu!

Café Verlet, 256 rue Saint-Honoré, 75001 Paris.

6/ Maison Plisson.

France’s most talked-about delicatessen serves hot chocolate with top-of-the-range pastries. Its pain au chocolat is one of the best in the capital. We recommend it for its unusual setting: a food hall where you can have tea after doing your shopping.

Maison Plisson, 93 boulevard Beaumarchais, 75003 Paris.

7/ Laouz.

Travel to Algeria over a cup of tea: an original way to get away! Here, traditional pastries are refined and reinvented. Choose your makrouts, dziriettes or knidelettes from the house selection: traditional, indulgent or fruity flavours. You can try a chocolate makrout or a mango aumônière! Of course, you can also choose from the tea and coffee menu.

Laouz, 136 rue Saint-Honoré, 75001 Paris.
