Moulin de Paris, an elegant Euro-Asian bistro, fancifies afternoons with finger sandwiches, house-made scones, and more than 30 varieties of tea. Sippable options include apple-honeybush rooibos, classic darjeeling, cinnamon-and-cardamom gingerman, and a cupid’s arrow tea that can be spilled on dates to win their affection. Thirsty mouths may also opt for two flutes of sparkling wine, which bubble with notes of crisp, juicy apples. The kitchen pairs all brews with a selection of mouth-watering morsels crafted from scratch by its Paris-trained pastry chef, starting with scones slathered in strawberry jam and devon cream. Shrimp cocktail precedes the main course, which features an assortment of finger sandwiches and fresh fruit delectably displayed on a three-tiered platter. A procession of miniature desserts caps off an afternoon of nibbling as magical and refined as a pair of opera glasses dipped in fairy dust.
Moulin de Paris
Winner of OpenTable Diner’s Choice Awards including ‘Best Overall Restaurant’, ‘Best Neighborhood Gem’, and ‘Great for Lunch’, Moulin de Paris has courted visitors with delicate Eurasian fare for the last 29 years. Serving an elegant trifecta of lunch, dinner, and afternoon tea, chefs meld east and west by combining ingredients such as smoked salmon and sweet chili sauce or mango salad and roquefort cheese.
Inside the dining room, mounted, blown-glass sculptures decorate a lemongrass-colored wall, and dark wooden tables accommodate plates. During afternoon tea, three-tiered trays showcase spreads of mini sandwiches and desserts made in-house by a Parisian trained chef.
