Hilton Tokyo has begun offering “Marie Antoinette Petit Boulangerie,” a bread-focused afternoon tea inspired by Queen Marie Antoinette, from April 14.
The lineup includes a poppy seed Danish topped with violet-scented icing, a brioche baked in a kugelhopf mold finished with mint syrup and lemon icing, a flan made with a croissant-dough tart shell filled with cream cheese custard, and apple strudel, originally from Austria, arranged in the style of Yuda in Japan. Savory bread selections feature multigrain rye bread canapés topped with vegetable tomato stew, tarts with Viennese-style potato salad, “white salt truffle brioche” combining truffle butter and salt, as well as other breads that evoke the bread culture of Vienna, Austria, the queen’s homeland, and breads reminiscent of flowers blooming in the gardens of the Palace of Versailles. More than 20 kinds of beverages are available, including teas from ART OF TEA.
The venue is the Bar & Lounge “ZATTA” on the 2nd floor. There are three seating times, starting at 11:30 a.m., 2:30 p.m., and 6:00 p.m. The price is 5,800 yen on weekdays and 6,500 yen on Saturdays, Sundays, and holidays, tax and service charge included.
