Special Dish: “Palais de Marron”
The centerpiece is the Mont Blanc “Palais de Marron” (パレ ド マロン). Italian chestnut cream is layered with Japanese chestnuts, then finished with the aroma of Bacha Coffee’s signature “1910 Coffee.” Layering coffee aroma over two chestnut elements, it is a truly autumnal plate, and its name — “Palais,” meaning palace — echoes the menu title “Autumn Palace.”
Five Petits Gâteaux
There are five petits gâteaux, ranging from autumn fruit creations to pieces themed on coffee and Marrakech.
Autumn Jewel Jelly
A jelly topped with Shine Muscat and seasonal grapes. Using several kinds of grapes, it puts autumn fruit front and center.
Amber Pear Tart
A tart of pears caramelized with honey, with the honey caramelization bringing out the flavor of the pear.
Velvet Tiramisu
A tiramisu made with Sidamo Mountain Coffee. It uses a different coffee from the “1910 Coffee” in the special dish, making it a piece that could only come from a collaboration with a coffee brand.
Pavillon Orange
A petit gâteau combining apricot and pistachio. Apricot also appears in the jam served with the scones, making it an ingredient that runs through the whole set.
Rose de Marrakech
A macaron inspired by the roses that bloom in Marrakech, expressing Bacha Coffee’s birthplace through a rose motif.
Two Scones with Jams and Cream
The scones come in two flavors, apple cinnamon and chocolate orange, served with apricot jam, raspberry jam, and clotted cream. With two distinct pairings — apple with cinnamon, chocolate with orange — plus two jams and cream, you can mix and match to find your favorite combination.
Savories That Differ by Venue
The savories are served in a different style at each venue. The two lounges offer six savories in total, including dishes inspired by traditional Moroccan cuisine. The items announced so far are:
- Quiche Lorraine, harira style (キッシュロレーヌ ハリラ仕立て)
- Basil couscous, caprese style (バジルのクスクス カプレーゼ風)
- Four other items (names not announced)
Bringing Moroccan touches into the savories as well as the sweets is a defining feature of this afternoon tea. Savory details for venues other than the lounges and for in-room dining have not been announced, so if the Moroccan-inspired dishes are what you are after, confirm the venue when you book.
Venues and Price
The afternoon tea is available at five outlets in the hotel, including the New York Lounge, as well as through in-room dining. Prices start from ¥6,380. Since the price is listed as “from,” rates may vary by venue or serving style, so please check the exact price with the venue you plan to visit.
If you are staying at the hotel, you can also enjoy the afternoon tea in your room via in-room dining, choosing between the lounge and your room to suit your stay.
