Metropolitan London's Teatime Goes Lo-Cal and Eco-Friendly
Something fresh and fit is brewing at the Metropolitan London. The Hyde Park corner Hotel has just updated their classic British high tea service to encourage a healthier approach to the mid-day indulgence.
The new menu, dubbed "Afternoon De-Light", includes the typical selection of teas and fingerfoods but with a focus on fresh ingredients and exclusion of empty calories. The tiers of no-guilt goodies are all made lighter, utilizing "low fat crème fraiche, no bread for the sandwiches, fresh fruit puree instead of unrefined sugar, flour substitutes, and olive oil instead of butter."
To cap off the calorie-consciousness treats, there is even a new drink. The Eco-Tini, a drink based around the idea of organic, local consumption, is made with ingredients sourced from the Greater London area. Available only during teatime, the Eco-Tini's surprise main ingredient is gooseberries from the garden of Met's own Bar Manager.
As usual, the British pound is murderous, making the ¤24 teatime about $50 and each ¤10.50 cocktail about $23. Catch the new offerings at the Metropolitan's Met Bar and Lobby Lounge on Thursdays thru Saturdays between 3-6pm.
