The author of In Search of Lost Time considered the Ritz Paris his second home and it often inspired his writing. In homage to the literary genius, François Perret, the prodigiously creative Pastry Chef, has turned the Salon Proust into an experience unto itself: a tea salon à la française that elevates biscuits, cakes and other teatime sweets to new heights. One comes here for tea and nothing else. A library filled with old books, discreet lighting, velvet armchairs and Haviland white porcelain bearing the madeleine as an emblem. Here, time has stopped. Raspberry-filled wafers, Gianduja chocolate tartes, Florentine cakes, Pirouline biscuits - also known as cigarettes russes -, sugar tarts and marble cakes accompany an array of exceptional teas from TWG Tea. A tea sommelier is on hand to guide you to the right port of call - in India, China, Ceylan or Japan - and prepare the precious brew before your eyes using traditional ancestral methods.
