Great Gatsby Tea

Today marks the launch of The Great Gatsby Experience at Prima Donna Brixton to coincide with release of The Great Gatsby movie which opens in cinemas today. To celebrate, why not engage in the traditions of a by-gone era and treat yourself to the elegant past time of Afternoon Tea with the launch of Prima Donna's brand new tea menu.

 

Located within Market Row, Brixton South West London, the restaurant is a fusion of Latin and European cuisine, served within a beautifully decorated environment and is the perfect place to enjoy a luxury coffee and a slice of cake - minus Leonardo Dicaprio!

 

Here's what you can expect on the new menu:

The launch of the new tea menu includes very affordable Afternoon Tea, unlike the traditional pricing plans which usually charge per person, Prima Donna will charge per quantity of food ranging from just £8.50 for 2 sandwiches, 2 slices of cake, 1 scone and one biscuit. Other larger menus are available the largest costing £28 for 5 slices of cake, 3 scones, 2 biscuits and 6 sandwiches. All the cakes are hand made by the Patissier and include Lime and Pistachio cake, Tart au Citron, Blackcurrant macaroons, Sea salt caramel and Fruit gateau. The Afternoon Tea menu will launch Friday 17th May 2013 and will run from Mon-Thurs 12-4 and Fridays 12-7.

We're already donning our flapper dresses and dreaming about Blackcurrant macaroons!
