This famous French patisserie dates back to 1862, when Louis Ernest Ladurée, a miller from southwest France, created a bakery at 16 rue Royale in Paris. Their English off-shoot is suitably situated in plush baroque surroundings within Harrods. Delicate and delightful macaroons, sold by the kilo, are their signature and come beautifully presented in boxes in a whole choice of flavours from pistachio to rose petal. But you can also choose from a whole variety of baked and creamed goods from fresh petits fours to millefeuille au vieux rhum brun - vanilla cream flavoured caramelized puff pastry with old dark rum. The sweet pastry, smooth passion fruit cream and fresh raspberriestarte passion framboise is hard to resist. Champagne Ladurée, available from 3.30pm to 6pm, adds an indulgent bottle of bubbly to a traditional afternoon tea.
