"My flatmate (and fellow birthdate buddy and I, had been researching places all over London for the past couple of months and with such a vast selection to dig through, we finally narrowed it down to one fabulous hotel located in Knightsbridge The Berkeley 's FASHIONISTA 'S AFTERNOON TEA. Prêt à Portea is their latest and greatest creation. With an assortment of colours and themes inspired by the worlds finest fashion designers. If you 're a fashionista then this would be right up your alley. After being seated on a luxurious caramel coloured leather chair, we were welcomed with of complimentary glass of Laurent Perrier bubbles and some brightly coloured green menus awaiting our our perusal. Leading designers such as Jimmy Choo, Alexandra McQueen, Valentino and my favourite man of fashion at the moment, Moschino have all been used to create some mouthwatering cakes, elegant canapés and fancies for your tasting pleasure. A selection of tea sandwiches were bought to the table first, followed by a beautifully presented three tier cake plate. A vintage tea pot of Opulent orange chilli tea was ordered and we were all set to go. All the china here is designed by Paul Smith, so quality has not been spared. We came up with a divided strategy to eat 1 2 savoury then change it up with something sweet. Its all about life balances as they say : Matthew Williamson Macaroon, Moschino 'Yellow M ' handbag of blood orange and victorian sponge cake, Creamy than creamier goats cheese and chutney together with Dolce Gabbana 's whimsical owl with blackcurrant flavours of the forest and milk chocolate sprinkles are just some of the wonderful creations the Berkeley have come up with. Everything is constantly replenished, so as to be expected, you will no doubt over eat and why not I say, it cant be helped when you are surrounded by such good looking pieces of food art. Another option is to bundle up the left overs in a cutesy fuchsia cardboard bag to take away with you. Just another glamorous touch that the Berkeley has to offer. Top notch service, sophistication and pure elegance. A wonderful way to spend a birthday or any afternoon for that matter. Don 't forget to take a few snaps in the front foyer before you leave. Their flowers are designed by Mcqueen 's and I believe, are some of the best arrangements around. Just gorgeous!"

Cake. That’s what this blog post is about. And lot’s of it. Because that is what what Prêt-à-Portea at The Berkeley is all about. I’d been looking forward to this occasion so much. I’d been to afternoon tea at other fancy pants hotels in London, but Prêt-à-Portea is THE one that had been on my list forever.

Absolutely perfect from start to finish! I can't wait to return, even though I must admit that it's quite pricey. Nevertheless, we enjoyed every moment and were impressed by the impeccable English service, food, and tea. It's such a beautiful venue, and it's also very family-friendly, especially when the children are well-behaved.

Been here for the Prêt á portea at The Berkley ! Outsanding cakes and sandwich options! A really hip concept for any fashionista! The staff are really friendly and the restaurant has a very sophisticated air to it especially during the afternoon tea. The price is towards the higher end so I would recommend it to try out for a fun experience, but I'm not so sure if I want to go running back there again!

Afternoon Tea at The Berkeley takes place in the Caramel Room and is aptly named Prêt-à-Portea. Each part of the tea has been designed with various top fashion designers in mind. We had a lovely table by the window which was so well presented. The menus were brightly coloured and inside was a bright and bold fashion slogan. Mine read ‘WORK IT’ and Danny’s read ‘STRIKE A POSE’, I loved it already! The menu sounded amazing...

I saved the best for last! It’s bittersweet to leave London tonight, but what an amazing 10-day trip it has been – meeting fantastic people, doing meaningful work, and especially indulging in incredible food! This afternoon, we went to The Berkeley for the Pret-A-Portea, which is celebrating its 10th anniversary. The afternoon tea was a delicate collection of cakes and delights inspired by the world’s top designers. We started with a fantastic plate of mini sandwiches and burgers, paired with a steaming pot of tea. The sandwiches included chicken, duck, salmon, egg and mayo, and a pesto variety – they were all absolutely delicious. Then came the highlight: our dessert stand! Each dessert wa...

I came to the Caramel Room for the famous Pret a Portea and it did not disappoint. We arrived at the Caramel Room and were escorted to our table. To my delight, I had a personalised reservation in my name waiting on our table. I’m a sucker for the little things! We chose the £39 afternoon, but for an extra £10 you could decide to make it a Champagne afternoon tea with a glass of Laurent Perrier. At your table, you are presented with a booklet to explain the inspiration and themes behind this season’s treats. Every six months the menu changes to keep up with the changing fashion seasons. For this season, our tea included a chocolate biscuit heel inspired by Manolo Blahnik, a Tory Burch magent...

all the dampening over this restaurant is what first hypeds me. any taste in foods I trust, recommended this place. this is a beautiful place, so put her chic pants on and dress stylish. the interiors are beautifully decorated with a modern touch. the service is pretty good, but for a fine dining room I expect the waiter/waxsin to write down my order not to notice it. I will be honest, although they have not written the order down, everything I have ordered was on the table, but again for a fine restaurant that I do not think this is wise acceptable. Anyway, the personal is really hospitable and welcoming. the vibes are so professional and unusual. appetisers burrata: the burrata was delicio...
