Tearoom entertainment in Paris

  1. A

    Angelina

    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 (€7.20), served with a pot of whipped cream and carafe of water, that prompts the constant queue for a table at Angelina. Buy it bottled to take home from Angelina’s small boutique.

    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).
