London’s Most Amazing Dessert Restaurant – Café at Hotel Café Royal

London is packed full of remarkable restaurants, so it can be rather overwhelming when one is asked to choose a favourite. That was until we discovered The Café at Hotel Café Royal. As the first dessert restaurant in London to be serving three courses of decadent dessert, it’s affirmed, this is our absolute favourite.

Expectations are always going to be set high when you walk into the five star, opulent Hotel Café Royal. The décor is sophisticated and the marble gives a feeling of grandeur. Executive Pastry Chef, Sarah Barber has ingeniously formulated an Alice in Wonderland inspired menu, with exquisite desserts that are as much a feast for the eyes as they are tantalizing to the taste buds.

The delicious deconstructed Rhubarb & Custard is served as a chilled crumble in a petite pot, rhubarb topped with a vanilla custard and a sugar dusted pastry. The Chantilly Cream served in a tube is a lovely accompaniment.

The Eat Me, Drink Me is a charming combination of creamy layers with nutty chocolate, topped with a peanut brittle and a caramel cream served with a malt shake in glass bauble.IMG_4627

The Jaffa Cake in no way resembles a simple Jaffa Cake. There’s a unique sense of illusion and trickery to this dessert which makes it rather exciting. The cake is hidden in a pot topped with gold dusted mushrooms, with soil and edible flowers. This is a complete showstopper. There’s a sense of delight as you bite into a mushroom that tastes of chocolate and soil that tastes of chocolate and orange. Opening the pot to find a cake dusted in gold with orange segments and golden popping candy is out of this world.

Privileged to be the first to try the outstanding new Queen of Hearts pastry, this is a fabulous addition to the menu. Resembling a small pack of cards, the tangy passion fruit puree with white chocolate is pleasantly surprising.
