Angélina
Take a break from the long trek along the Tuileries gardens and line up for a table at Angélina, along with lunching ladies, their posturing poodles and half the students from Tokyo University. This beautiful, high-ceilinged tearoom has exquisite furnishings, mirrored walls and fabulous fluffy cakes. More importantly, it serves the best and most wonderfully sickening ‘African’ hot chocolate in the history of time (€6.90), served with a pot of whipped cream. It’s a positive meal replacement (though breakfast is €16.50 to €27.50).

Le Loir Dans la Théière
Its cutesy name (‘Dormouse in the Teapot’) notwithstanding, this is a wonderful old space filled with retro toys, comfy couches and scenes of Through the Looking Glass on the walls. It serves up to a dozen different types of tea, excellent savoury tarts and sandwiches (€8.50 to €12), desserts like apple crumble (€6.50), and brunch (€19.50) at the weekend.

La Charlotte en Île
This tiny place is one of the loveliest salons de thé (tearooms) in all of Paris and definitely worth crossing the bridge for. The fairy-tale theme adds flavour (as if any was needed) to the chocolate and pastries, and the dozens of teas on offer are superbly chosen. Marionette shows usually take place on Wednesday. Pass by to get the latest flyer.

Kilàli
Style personified, this Japanese tearoom-cum-art gallery is a peaceful oasis amid the bustling shops. Finesse, nobility and other elevated adjectives describe the different varieties of green teas served in pottery teapots with matching yunomi (goblets). Request a refill of water after you’ve drained the pot.
