Prêt á Portea

Whoever said fashion folk don't eat has clearly never had been to a Prêt-à-Portea. Popularised by London's Berkley Hotel, this stylish take on afternoon tea, has won over the likes of Gwennie, Madge, Kate and Naomi and is set to make its Irish debut this month at Harvey Nicks.

Lest you think only the famous surnameless need apply, think again. The Berkeley’s Prêt-à-Portea will be served daily from 3-5pm in the First Floor Restaurant from Tuesday 28 April until Saturday 2 May 2009, priced at €30 per person or €40 per person with a glass of Harvey Nichols Brut Champagne. Pas mal, non?

What's more, you get to scoff your face with mini cakes and pastries like Lanvin-inspired blueberry and lemon mousse, a Michael Kors Regatta dress reinterpreted in chocolate sponge and Christopher Kanes’ signature over-sized chiffon circles in clementine bavaroise with blood orange pâte de fruit.
