And if your next tea time in Paris 17th offered you more than just a gourmet break?

At the house of Solis Bar & Restaurant, we imagined a suspended moment, between gluttony, nostalgia and refinement, by revisiting the traditional Mediterranean desserts that marked our childhood. A sensory and emotional experience, where each bite transports you to the heart of our pastry chefs' memories, enhanced by their expertise.

Every day, from 3 p.m. to 6 p.m., OUR Tea Time offers an exclusive selection of homemade sweet and savory treats, accompanied by a hot drink or a glass of Champagne. To be enjoyed in the dining room or on our hidden and sunny terrace, a true haven of peace in the heart of Paris 17th, perfect for a break away from time.

Tea time in Paris… with the scents of the Mediterranean

What makes our Tea Time so unique, it's the soul that our team has breathed into it. Here, each bite tells a personal story. We asked our pastry chefs to dive back into their childhood memories, in these moments of tenderness shared around a homemade cake, a sweet smell in the kitchen, a dessert prepared with love by a mother.

The result? A signature menu, made of unique sweet creations, entirely designed from their favorite desserts, then subtly revisited with the Mediterranean pastry techniques.

Between emotion and innovation, memories and modernity, our tea time becomes a moment of sincere indulgence, to be experienced as a gentle regression... but elegant.

🍎 Maëla's apple crumble

This apple crumble, sweet and generous, is a true return to childhood snacks. Maëla was inspired by the dessert that her mother often prepared, with melting apples and a crispy pastry, just sweet enough. Simple, authentic, it perfectly embodies the sweetness and warmth of traditional Mediterranean desserts, for a moment of comforting treat.

🍅 Stéphanie's candied tomato & Sichuan cream tartlet

This dessert is a surprise. At the crossroads of worlds, Stéphanie mixes her summer memories in the sun, between the Mediterranean and Asia, with the audacity of contemporary gastronomy. The candied tomato brings an unexpected sweet roundness, contrasted by a slightly spicy Sichuan creaminess. All this, placed on a delicate, crunchy dough, this tartlet blurs the lines between sweet and savory, for a captivating experience that lingers in the memory.

🍍 Asma's Exotic Candy

Asma takes us even further, to tropical lands that marked her youth. Her exotic candy, melts in the mouth like a memory of elsewhere. The balance is perfect between acidity and sweetness, between freshness and roundness. This little gem of Mediterranean pastry revisited is both modern and vibrant, like an island madeleine.

🧂 A salty break, Mediterranean style

THE tea time at Solis is not limited to sweet treats. Because Mediterranean traditions are rich in a culture of sharing and culinary diversity, we have imagined a selection of refined savory bites, designed to balance flavors and stimulate the taste buds.

Each piece is carefully prepared by our kitchen, echoing our menu inspired by the southern coasts:

Caviar & tarama tartlet : an iodized and delicate duo, both smooth and elegant.
Cabbage topped with homemade hummus : a melting vegetable bite, enhanced with fruity olive oil.
Mini Marinated Chicken Sandwich : tender, fragrant, wrapped in a soft bread with herbal notes.

A perfect one sweet and salty combination, to be enjoyed in a soothing and warm atmosphere, for a moment that combines gourmet food, conviviality and Mediterranean inspiration.
