Immerse yourself in the refined elegance of Palm Beach’s Brazilian Court Hotel, where Café Boulud introduces an enchanting afternoon tea service. Nestled in the hotel’s enchanting dining room or its serene courtyard, guests are invited to indulge in a culinary journey that blends tradition with contemporary flair.

Under the guidance of Executive Pastry Chef Julie Franceschini, the menu showcases an array of visually stunning and palate-pleasing delights. The experience begins with a selection of Instagram-worthy specialty teas, each carefully chosen to complement the array of delectable treats. Mini madeleines and freshly-baked scones lay the foundation for this exquisite offering, promising a blend of comfort and sophistication.

The savoury selections include a trio of meticulously crafted sandwiches: the delicate concombre, the richly flavoured saumon fumé, and the classic jambon beurre. Each bite is a testament to the chef’s dedication to quality and flavour.

However, it’s the pastries that truly capture the essence of this afternoon tea. Guests will be treated to a variety of sumptuous desserts, including a tarte au citron bursting with lemon curd and fresh raspberry, elegantly balanced on a sablé base. The opéra cake is a masterpiece of layers, combining almond dacquoise with coffee buttercream and chocolate ganache, offering a symphony of textures and tastes. Completing the experience is a silky panna cotta, accompanied by a seasonal fruit coulis, adding a touch of freshness to the indulgent spread.

For those seeking to add an extra touch of luxury to their experience, Café Boulud offers the option to accompany the afternoon tea with a glass of sparkling wine, selected from a diverse range of effervescent choices.

Café Boulud’s afternoon tea at the Brazilian Court Hotel is not just a meal; it’s an experience that weaves together the elegance of the setting with the culinary expertise of Chef Franceschini, creating an unforgettable moment of leisure and luxury.
