Afternoon tea at the The French Tarte, Surbiton

The French Tarte opened in Surbiton in January. It is the younger sibling to the The French Table next door. Husband and wife team Sarah and Eric Guignard have opened a sublime bakery featuring Eric’s signature fresh breads, incredible pastries, tart’s and cakes, along with some of the finest artisanal produce available to purchase in-store. 

The French Tarte holds afternoon teas, which have been created by head pastry chef Michel Rissons. Michel’s boasts an impressive career, which includes Michelin-starred Yauatcha and The Ritz in London. 

Customers will enjoy a selection of three sandwiches, chicken, smoked salmon, and cucumber and cream cheese, as well as traditional scones with clotted cream and home-made strawberry jam. A selection of cakes and tarts will be created on a seasonal basis, all served alongside tea or coffee.
