The Foliage Lounge at The Biltmore Mayfair offers a quintessential British afternoon tea experience in the heart of London's prestigious Mayfair district. Serving dainty sandwiches, handcrafted pastries, and freshly-brewed loose leaf teas, this elegant venue provides a serene setting for guests to indulge in the time-honoured tradition.
The Foliage Lounge serves a seasonal afternoon tea menu that changes around four times throughout the year. While dishes are inspired by classic British flavours, the menu features plenty of creative twists to elevate the tradition, while also offering limited edition menus.
Alongside sandwiches, diners can expect an inventive selection of savoury treats, such as filled mini brioche buns, fancy hot dog rolls, and focaccia - though be aware, menus are subject to change. So while you might find fillings like summer vegetables and roast peppers in the warmer months, you'll be in for something totally different come winter. Freshly baked scones are served with clotted cream and preserves, accompanied by beautifully handcrafted pastries. To quench your thirst after all that sweetness, guests can choose from a large selection of freshly brewed teas, or opt for the Nyetimber sparkling wine afternoon tea to elevate the experience.
The Foliage Lounge is situated within The Biltmore Mayfair, a landmark hotel steeped in history and grandeur. The Biltmore Mayfair started life in 1710 as a private residence. It was then home to Oscar Wilde in the 1880s before becoming a hotel in 1969. The Biltmore retains its Art Deco charm while embracing modern sophistication, offering guests a seamless blend of historic elegance and contemporary luxury.
Its prime location on Grosvenor Square places The Foliage Lounge at the heart of one of London’s most exclusive neighbourhoods, surrounded by historic architecture, embassies, and cultural landmarks.
