Prada has announced the opening of Prada Caffè at Harrods in London, a space designed to add a new dimension to the brand and offer customers a unique and engaging experience. Inspired by Prada’s most famous stores – including its first-ever boutique, opened at Galleria Vittorio Emanuele II in 1913 – Prada Caffè promises a taste of Milan in Knightsbridge. The black-and-white chequered flooring, echoing the brand’s iconic monochrome designs, paves the way to elegant velvet sofas in the season’s pale green, from which guests can admire the floral bas-reliefs that decorate the walls. All the tableware is original and exclusive, selected by Prada to complement the surroundings: think pale-blue Japanese porcelain with a contrasting double black line and crystal glasses featuring the quintessentially Prada triangle motif.
There’s more on the menu than impeccable style, though. Promising a modern take on Italian tradition, a wide selection of sweet and savoury dishes offers gourmet refreshments throughout the day. For breakfast, Italian coffee accompanies perfect poached eggs and puff pastries, while the lunch menu boasts starters and mains ranging from burrata and zucchini to spinach and ricotta cannelloni with black truffle. In need of a quick post-shopping snack? Look to Prada’s tempting selection of tramezzini (dainty sandwiches) and pizzettes (mini puff pizzas). Or choose from an array of indulgent patisseries and desserts displayed on the grand central counter and back wall. The pistachio cake with pistachio croccantino and cream, sponge cake and vanilla cream is worth the trip alone. Of course, no visit to Prada Caffè is complete without raising a glass. Choose from a wine list spanning Piedmont to Sicily or sit back with a signature cocktail.
Prada Caffè will remain at Harrods until the end of 2023, so make sure you book your trip to London early to not miss out on this unique dining experience.
