From Thursday 3 March, you can add a massive sugar rush to your London itinerary, thanks to a luxurious new dessert restaurant at Café Royal’s iconic The Café on Regent Street. With the menu created by Executive Pastry Chef, Sarah Barber, the restaurant will feature a selection of exquisite tasting menus all served with optional wine pairing and available from 6pm to 10.30pm daily.
As the perfect choice to conclude a dinner or to celebrate a special occasion, each carefully orchestrated menu will include a range of savoury bites to prepare the palate, before offering a unique journey of sweet plates all highlighting Sarah’s creative skill and imagination, as well as her contemporary, playful style.
For example, the Sarah in Wonderland menu features five courses, starting with savouries such as the Milky Way, with goat’s cheese, wild honey and beetroot snow; and Chicken Foie with quince and brioche.
The Alice in Wonderland-inspired desserts include the Queen of Hearts (raspberries, Champagne and roses); Mad Hatter (BFG, kirsch and cherries) and Eat Me, Drink Me (Snickers, chocolate malt shake).
The three-course Childhood Memories menus will also be available, composed of nostalgic treats like rhubarb & custard and Jaffa Cakes. Then the Pick n Mix menu will allow guests to make their selection of four dishes, with savouries such as White Rabbit with Acapella cheese, artichokes and black truffle; and Salmon Tart with silky avocado. Desserts on the Pick n Mix menu include the Jaffa Cake; Eat Me, Drink Me and Queen of Hearts.
Wine will be served to accompany each menu, including sparkling Prosecco di Valdobbiadene with the Milky Way; Henriques y Henriques madeira with the Jaffa Cake; and classic dessert wines such as Château Roumieu, Sauternes with the Eat Me, Drink Me.
The opening of the evening dessert restaurant will run alongside the launch of a new day food and drink menus in The Café.
