What else would you do on a wet, blustery, rainy March afternoon in Paris, but pamper yourself with a leisurely high tea at the wonderful Lutetia Hotel? My daughter and I booked a 3pm slot and having deliberately foregone lunch, we arrived hungry & right on time. We were seated immediately by a very efficient & kind hostess beneath the highly decorative glass roof in Le St-Germain and ordered the set afternoon tea menu for 65€ with Blue of London tea for me and a delicious thick hot chocolate for her. Our drinks arrived promptly and we chatted as we waited for the pièce de résistance: 3 savoury and 7 sweet items. After another 35 minutes of waiting, our stomachs finally stopped rumbling. Obviously chef patissier Nicolas Guercio's creativity wowed us, especially the Crab with yuzu sansho, daikon infused with grapefruit on the savoury side, while the Pineapple and green cardamom sorbet vied with the Scones clotted cream and raspberry jam (memories from my childhood!) on the sweet side. What wowed us much less was the fact that we were asked to vacate our table at 4:50pm! Not only had we waited 40 minutes to actually eat our afternoon tea, but now we were being rushed out after an hour and 10 minutes! Nowhere on the website was there mention that you have under 2 hours to consume your afternoon tea. So future afternoon tea amateurs, beware, there's no such thing as a leisurely afternoon tea at the Lutetia!

まず第一に、場所は特に良いです。第6地区の非常に安全な地域では、地元の人々から「豊かな地区」とも呼ばれています。地下鉄10号線と12号線で行くのはとても便利です。道路の向かいにはフランスでとても古いルペンのデパートがあります。デパート、中のLVとGUCCIは非常に少数の人を列に並べる必要はありませんが、商品は比較的完成しています。重要なのは、ホテルには中国人のウェイターがいるということですが、それでも不十分だと言わざるを得ません。朝食料金が混乱し、私の料金が請求されました。見つけたら確認して返金しました。スタッフが間違えて作ったのかもしれません。いいです。次回はここを選ぶべきです。
