That time of the year again - bidding farewell to friends who are moving on. I had a farewell brunch with a friend at
Mariage Frères yesterday. Mariage Frères is a tea house, purveyors of international teas, and a restaurant that serves delectable salads and fish dishes with flavours enhanced with their teas. The last time I was there I had a cabillaud in a beet and jasmine tea soup, delightful desserts, and as I discovered yesterday, they do a simple but perfect brunch.
There was iced tea; fresh juice; toasted brioche with a selection of tea-infused jams; and a savoury plate of scrambled eggs, salmon and prawns.
There is a also a tiny Museum of Tea on the lower floor. If you are a tea aficionado this is the place to stock up on your tea - from black, to green, to the fruity infusions which smell like bouquets of flowers; and the tea-making paraphernalia that goes with it all.
Printemps and Galeries Lafayette also carry Mariage Frères products - which make wonderful gifts if you're here on holiday.
