Opening its doors in London’s Soho in the
mid-1920s, Patisserie Valerie now brings French café culture to cities right
across the UK. With its retro, 1950s vibe and delicious cakes, breakfasts as
well as a wide selection of tea and coffee, it’s a tad surprising that I hadn’t
eaten there before.
Aaron and I wandered into their York
branch on my 21st birthday, seeking a tasty breakfast in beautiful
surroundings – and we definitely found what we were looking for, and then some.
The space is strikingly decorated in a
vintage French style, with old fashioned European posters on the wall alongside
grand gold mirrors and light fixtures. A lot of the vibrant sweet treats are
displayed in huge counters and on the shelves, which made it very tempting to
have cake for breakfast!
We didn’t sample any of the stunning
looking cakes or pastries, as we were heading out for Afternoon tea later in
the day and didn’t want to overload on the sugar. However, we did order one of
the gorgeous continental style breakfasts. We both opted for the scrambled eggs
with toast and bacon, which cost £6.70. Being a bit of a fancy place, I was
expecting the portion sizes to be small but I have to say there was plenty to
go around! I also ordered a black Americano, which was delicious too! Next
time, we’ll have to try some of those cakes…
