Anne-Cecile Heuzey Review of Fortnum and Mason
Oh my god .. So lovely !!!
Oh my god .. So lovely !!!
A "big little store" dating from the 18th century, traditional and classic.
The luxury of the delightfully historic setting, with its windows, its large crystal chandeliers, its outdoor chime, and its sellers, so, so British !! is a unique experience for all tourists !!
On the ground floor, all gourmet English products, chocolates, teas, jams, cookies .. absolutely delicious !!
In the basement, a well-stocked cellar .. with .. Cocorico all French champagnes, "sparking wines" .. English, but also,
, the famous Scottish whiskeys
You can savor them 'at the Champagne bar, or at the more cozy Bar on the floors..
You will find there, all the possible gifts to offer or .. more prosaically .. to please you !!!
The department "card shop" is delicious, with refined and original cards, especially at Christmas time !! or very stylish writing papers ..
At that time, you will love the floor dedicated to Christmas decoration.
A fake fireplace surrounded by fir trees adorned very differently, Santas more real than life, tables loaded with balls more beautiful than each other .., silverware or very decorative porcelain .... A festive atmosphere bathes this radius ..
For refined tourists, an exceptional "perfumes" department, and competent and friendly sellers.
A tea room nice, but often hyperbooked ... Alas !!! It is really advisable to book for the afternoon tea ....
In a street close to the Fortnum store, its very classic restaurant, offering quality products, very fresh .. can be a little expensive !!
