Christie’s Bakery ; A Seasonal Menu

Since 2019, this upmarket tea room has welcomed food lovers and cake enthusiasts. Its eclectic selection changes over time and with the seasons. Tea time lovers can also enjoy an authentic afternoon tea there, by reservation. This option is the ideal chance to discover the address.

The Cupcake, a Treat from America

The cupcake was born in the United States in the 19th century. Its name is said to come from the cups in which the first recipes were baked. This small individual cake is topped with a creamy, often colourful frosting. Long reserved for children’s snacks, it became trendy in the early 2000s. Bakeries in New York and then London brought it back into fashion. It has since naturally found its place on afternoon tea stands.

Christie’s Bakery ; Afternoon Tea with Friends

Sharing an afternoon tea with friends is a lovely way to enjoy the place. In Geneva, the art of afternoon tea can also be discovered at the Hôtel d’Angleterre (in French). On the Riviera, the Montreux Palace (in French) also offers its own. In the old town, Pages & Sips (in French) also serves homemade scones between two books. Here, the moment is shared among lovers of tea, pastries and good addresses. Born in England in the 1840s, this ritual is traditionally enjoyed in the late afternoon. Nothing stops you from starting earlier, though.

Tea is chosen from an elegant case featuring the houses Palais des Thés and Mariage Frères. Founded in Paris in 1854, the latter is one of the great names in tea. Then comes the afternoon tea stand, presented on two tiers. Sandwiches, cupcakes and scones share the space. Soft and indulgent, the cupcakes are the real highlight of the tasting.
