BETTYS

BETTYS AND TAYLORS OF HARROGATE

Betty’s is one of the United Kingdom’s most famous tea rooms with a reputation for producing classic British confectionery and pastry from their Yorkshire base. With an interesting history, including great mystery around who Betty may have been, Betty’s is particularly known for their quality Yorkshire teas but has a great heritage as a chocolatier too, producing popular delicacies including traditional favourites like peppermint creams. Bettys has a number of branches in Yorkshire but is most closely associated with the beautiful Victorian spa town of Harrogate where the first branch opened in 1919.

BICERIN

CAFFÈ AL BICERIN

A café so famous they named a drink after it. Or rather, Caffè al Bicerin is the originator of the famous Turin coffee variant known as Bicerin, a chocolatey espresso based coffee drink. The café has also established itself as a pureyor of delicious chocolates in keeping with the local hazelnut-heavy recipes.

In the city that lent it’s name to pastry, Demel is a veritable institution. The House’s history dates back to 1786 and they have been making some of the finest viennoiserie, pastry and confections in Austria, by hand, since their inception, and now also from their New York branch.

LE PROCOPE

Dating back to 1686, Le Procope is one of the most famous and storied restaurants in Paris. A brasserie of distinction, bedecked in ornate furnishings, grand artwork and gilded decor, the restaurant has long-been held as a bastion of traditional French cuisine. Throughout the establishment’s history it has been a celebrated meeting place for Parisian society, the intelligentsia and various luminaries in artistic and literary circles, particularly so in the days that the dining room acted as a café in the grand European café tradition. Indeed, the restaurant regards itself as the oldest continuously operating café in the city. The beautiful environs make the venue a particularly popular destination for Parisians and tourists alike, keen to try the classic fare on offer or to enjoy their famous confections or ice creams. Today, the restaurant is a key institution of the Group Bertrand collection.

CAFÉ SLUKA / CONDITOREI SLUKA / WILHELM J. SLUKA

A proud Viennese institution, the rarified Sluka brand includes two grand cafés in the Austrian capital. Founded in 1891 by Wilhelm J. Sluka, these establishments have long-served as meeting places for the city’s social elite, artistic visionaries and great thinkers. So too have they become must-visit destinations for visitors exploring Vienna’s cultural history. The grand dining rooms are exquisitely decorated and serve beautiful delicacies and traditional Viennese food throughout the day.

ELS QUATRE GATS

An architectural gem in old Barcelona, 4 Gats is an iconic restaurant and bar that began as a basement café and haunt of the city’s intelligentsia and artistic set, including Pablo Picasso. Indeed, the bar became a preferred meeting place for the leading figures associated with the Modernisme movement from the moment it opened in 1897 and until it closed in 1903. The bar was re-established in 1989 at a new location but with care and attention to restore its infamous art nouveau interior and aesthetic. The dining room has managed to recreate the ambience and vibe for which its originator was so famous and, today, has earned a reputation as being a must-visit for accomplished Catalan cuisine.

KAFFEEHAUS BAYREUTH / WIENER KAFFEEHAUS

A coffeehouse in the Viennese tradition, 1897 has been a Bayreuth institution since it’s foundation more than a century ago. Located in the beautiful medieval old town of Bayreuth, close to the castle and the UNESCO protected Margravial opera house, the café includes a guesthouse and private roastery, producing bespoke coffee under their own brands and as a private label for other organisations. 1897 (sometimes known as the Kaffeehaus Bayreuth or the Wiener Kaffeehaus) maintains the aura and ambience of the great European coffeehouse and grand café archetype. For tourists and locals alike, this is a must-visit for delicate pastries and confections, sit-down meals or excellent coffee.
