Apéritif time at Café Luc: tea cocktails
Right in the heart of Marylebone, Café Luc is the most Parisian pause you can think of. Mixing traditional and contemporary touches - the decoration will remind you of those chic brasseries on the Continent. The tables are always impeccably set, bright white fabric table cloth, shining glasses. So elegant. The place you want to spend your whole afternoon.
Regulars stop by to brunch, eat sophisticated dishes, for the afternoon tea with a French touch or simply for their sublime Nutella crême brûlée… In pictures:
Café Luc is about to blow their first candle. Just one year and they already are an institution in that neighbourhood!
They also are one of the rarest to serve Mariage Frères tea – an elegant brand, France’s favourite. The quality is always spot on, the drink velvety, their marketing brilliant: 600 varieties, beautiful packaging with a colonial look, seasonal limited editions. We froggies are just crazy for them.
The brand tearoom had invented non alcoholic cocktails. In London, you can now enjoy much more interesting alcoholic versions…
Tasted and approved:
- The BourbonVanilla Martini (vodka infused with vanilla tea, Martini - £8.50)
- The Marco Polo Ice Tea (gin infused with Marco Polo tea, mint, ginger ale – £8.50)
- The Orange Pekoe Ceylan Mojito (rum infused with Orange Pekoe Ceylan tea, sugar syrup, mint and soda – £8.50)
Those cocktails tell tales of summers, of chats with friends till the end of the night, recreating the world, sing of the clinking noise of glasses…
Until June 19, a Orange Pekoe Ceylan Mojito is offered with your meal – click here. is it apéritif time yet?

Je les aime bien, les thés Mariage. je les achète en mousseline … Quoique là, j’ai en stock un Earl Grey de chez Crabtree & Evelyn de toute beauté ! ;o) Je pourrais peut-être l’essayer en cocktail ? Il faut que j’y réfléchisse …
Bisous

Mais oui, mixez… ou cuisinez avec, tout aussi délicieux. Un the vert au jasmin sur du poisson blanc en papillote, quel bonheur!
Julie: bien d’accord avec toi…
