Le Parloir opened in 2010 as the realization of owner Sylvie Marchand’s long-held idea of what a tea room should feel like: personal, calm, and free of fuss. The Plateau address is a well-composed living room where 17th-century references sit comfortably alongside restrained modern touches.

Scones, tea sandwiches, quiche, salads, and small cakes are made in-house and served without embellishment. Afternoon tea is the centrepiece, offered as a composed plateau rather than a spectacle, and the bring-your-own-wine policy keeps things relaxed and social. While not trying to reinvent the tea room, Le Parloir gets the fundamentals right.
