Harry’s Dolce Vita is introducing its very first Afternoon Tea, offering guests an elegant Italian-inspired interpretation of one of Britain’s best-loved dining rituals. Available now between 3pm and 5pm, exclusively at its Knightsbridge restaurant, the new experience blends the timeless charm of afternoon tea with the vibrant flavours, craftsmanship and effortless glamour synonymous with Harry’s.
Served daily within the restaurant’s beautifully appointed interiors, Harry’s Afternoon Tea has been thoughtfully created to transport guests from Knightsbridge to Italy’s most celebrated culinary destinations. Priced at £39 per person, or £49 per person including a glass of Laurent-Perrier La Cuvée, NV, the experience offers an elevated afternoon of Italian hospitality.
Replacing traditional finger sandwiches with refined Italian-inspired savouries, guests will begin with Crudo di Manzo, featuring delicate raw beef carpaccio with Cipriani dressing and chives, alongside Salmone Affumicato e Caviale, combining smoked salmon, crème fraîche and caviar, and Burrata e Tomato, showcasing creamy burrata with sweet datterini tomatoes and fragrant basil.
The sweet selection celebrates some of Italy’s most iconic desserts, beginning with Baci di Dama, delicate chocolate biscotti filled with gianduia cream, alongside a bright Torta al Limone di Amalfi, Sicilian Cannoli filled with dark chocolate mousse and crushed pistachios, Bignè alle Nocciole filled with silky hazelnut cream, and a decadent Torta al Cioccolato, layered with Chantilly cream and fresh raspberries.
To accompany the experience, guests can choose from a carefully curated selection of premium teas or elevate the occasion further with a glass of Laurent-Perrier La Cuvée, NV, whose fresh citrus notes and elegant finesse provide the perfect pairing with the menu’s delicate Italian flavours.
Kevin Rai, Head Chef at Harry’s Dolce Vita, said: “Afternoon Tea is such a treasured British tradition, so we wanted to reinterpret it in a way that feels unmistakably Harry’s. Rather than simply recreating the classics, we’ve embraced some of Italy’s most iconic ingredients and desserts and created an experience that’s elegant, generous and full of flavour. Whether you’re celebrating a special occasion or simply taking time out with friends, it’s designed to bring a little taste of la dolce vita to the afternoon.”
Whether marking a special celebration, enjoying an afternoon of shopping in Knightsbridge, or simply embracing the ritual of slowing down over exceptional food, Harry’s first Afternoon Tea offers a stylish new way to experience one of London’s most elegant Italian restaurants.
