Ultra-luxurious establishment Four Seasons Hotel Bangkok has revealed a patisserie of its own on its riverside promenade. In contrast to the hotel’s overall sumptuous aesthetics, Café Madeleine is a casual and friendly place where you can sit back with soothing drinks and delicious fresh bakes the whole day long.
Besides freshly-baked pastries like croissants, canelés and their signature madeleines, the hotel cafe also specializes in modern-looking cakes in six signature flavors, namely Gianduja Chocolate and Hazelnut Mousse, Yoghurt Strawberry Sponge Cake, Mango and Passion Fruit Cheesecake, Fresh Fruit Tart, Coconut & Pandan Choux, and Bronte Pistachio Cake. These are available in three different sizes: petit mignon (from B95), mono portion (from 180) and a whole cake (from B1,250).
Executive pastry chef Andrea Bonaffini is the talent behind these wonderful offerings. His resume reveals impressive stints at the likes of three-Michelin-starred The Fat Duck in England and self-opened Yellow Lemon in Taiwan. With his close connections to Asia, Chef Andrea has injected the region’s many rich flavors into some of his creations, like the Passionfruit & Coconut madeleine. These delicious bites also come in two other flavors: Chocolate & Cacao Caramel Nib and Raspberry & Vanilla (B420/box of six).
Café Madeleine also offers tasty nibbles like cantucci, cookies and palmiers, as well as takeaway boxes of hearty salads and sandwiches. Drinks include café-appropriate items ranging from medium-roast coffees to tea to fizzy refreshments.
The hotel also has an online store (fsbangkokathome.com) where customers can pre-order all items for pickup. The patisserie is located between Four Seasons Residences and Brasserie Palmier.
