This sumptuous culinary experience is designed to delight the senses, set against the breath-taking backdrop of the harbour. Available for a limited time, this afternoon tea promises to be a highlight of everyone’s dining journey.



Guests can indulge in a meticulously crafted menu featuring a harmonious blend of savoury and sweet delights, each infused with the unique and rich flavour of pistachios from this Mediterranean country.


Savoury Selections:

·         Vol Au Vent, Duck Liver Mousse, Pistachio Crumble: Delicate, flaky pastry shells filled with rich duck liver mousse, elegantly topped with a crunchy pistachio crumble. The combination of creamy and nutty flavours creates a luxurious bite that melts in the mouth.


·         Parma Ham, Burrata, Pesto Bread, Pistachio Crumble: Succulent slices of authentic Parma ham paired with creamy, luscious burrata, all nestled on freshly baked pesto bread. Finished with a sprinkle of pistachio crumble, it offers a perfect balance of savoury richness and nutty sweetness.


·         Spinach Crepe, Ham, Fontina Cheese, Quail Egg: A tender spinach crepe enveloping a savoury filling of artisanal ham, fontina cheese, and a perfectly cooked quail egg. Each bite delivers a creamy, cheesy experience with a hint of earthiness from the spinach.


·         Smoked Salmon, Salmon Mousse, Pistachio Blinis: Silky smoked salmon layered with a light, airy salmon mousse atop delicate pistachio blinis. This dish is a celebration of freshness, enhanced by the subtle crunch of pistachio for a delightful textural contrast.


Sweet Treats:

·         Pistachio Tart, Cherry Compote: A buttery tart crust filled with a rich pistachio custard, topped with a vibrant cherry compote. The natural acidity of the cherries beautifully balances the nutty sweetness of the pistachio, creating a dessert that is both refreshing and satisfying.


·         Financier, Vanilla Ganache, Pistachio Cream: A moist and tender almond cake infused with vanilla ganache and delicate pistachio cream. This elegant treat boasts a buttery flavour and a melt-in-your-mouth texture that will leave guests craving more.


·         Pistachio Cookie, Ganache, Raspberry Coulis: A freshly baked cookie featuring a delightful pistachio base, generously filled with silky ganache and accompanied by a tangy raspberry coulis. This combination of sweet and tart flavours makes for an irresistible finish.


·         Pistachio Scone, Fruit Jam, Clotted Cream: Fluffy pistachio scones served warm, accompanied by rich British clotted cream and seasonal fruit jam. The nutty flavour of the pistachios adds a unique twist to this classic afternoon tea staple.


·         Pistachio Gelato: Creamy, artisanal pistachio ice cream that is rich and smooth, offering a perfect finale to an afternoon tea experience.


To enhance the afternoon tea experience, guests can choose between the refreshing ice or a comforting hot pistachio latte.  For those who fancy a cup of cappuccino with their personal photo or text like “Happy Birthday” on the foam as a pleasant surprise, they can simply ask The Mistral team while ordering the drink.  This service is entirely complimentary.
