I had the pleasure of being invited to the award-winning patisserie @julienplumartcafe by @julienplumart to experience their incredible afternoon tea- and I was absolutely blown away! Not only is it a true delight, but it also makes the perfect Mother’s Day gift. This elegant staple in Brighton since 2004, offering an array of high end cakes, pastries, and macarons. Known for its outstanding quality, Julien Plumart has built a well deserved reputation for serving some of the best pastries in Brighton and beyond

The JP Signature Afternoon Tea begins with a welcome juice and a sweet amuse-bouche including a delicious raspberry treat or peanut cream, both absolutely stunning and set the tone for the meal. What then makes this afternoon tea extra special is how personalised it is including a hot drink, a delicious roasted tomato, pesto & mozzarella bun, a savoury croissant of choice, a patisserie from the counter, and any two of Julien Plumart’s legendary macarons (which come in an incredible variety of flavours). The experience is rounded off with a scoop of ice cream—a perfect finishing touch. And at just £25pp, it’s fantastic value for such a high quality offering

I had the Ham & Cheese Savoury Croissant-one of my favourites and truly the best I’ve ever had. We also tried the Roasted Tomato & Cheese Croissant, equally delicious. For pâtisseries, we chose the iconic Le Croquant au Chocolat, a beautifully crunchy chocolate cake, and the new Peanut Bomb Éclair,filled with caramel and cream-simply divine! We were so full that we couldn’t finish everything, but luckily, we were able to take some treats home

If you’re looking for a thoughtful Mother’s Day gift, this afternoon tea is a fantastic option. Julien Plumart has a charming café in the heart of Brighton, and they still have availability. They also offer gift vouchers, and the new Le Fraisier cake, a beautifully crafted strawberry sponge cake is available just in time for Mother’s Day too. I’m a huge fan of Julien Plumart and keep coming back for their exquisite cakes and pâtisseries. If you’re still deciding where to go for Mother’s Day, book in here and thank me later!

I was invited to try this one. As always, all opinions are my own.
