Tea in bowls at Le Pain Quotidien

After our most excellent trip to the V&A we wandered down the road to find somewhere that had more tea and we chanced upon Le Pain Quotidien. This is a chain but we hadn’t come across it before. It had lots of good cakes and bread in the window which tempted us in and we stayed for tea, a meal and then desert.

The tea selection wasn’t that wide: breakfast, earl grey or fruit or herb teas. We picked breakfast tea and it came in bowls, which was a novelty for me and it tasted good in a bowl. We shared a platter of Italian meats and cheeses and lovely bread, then had fruit salad and the most decadently rich chocolate tart. I’d recommend it for an after V&A treat.
