Now open at Harrods in London, Prada Caffè invites guests to immerse themselves in an extraordinary design experience that embodies the essence of the iconic brand. This carefully curated space offers visitors an opportunity to engage with Prada’s distinctive world view, with every detail – from the atmosphere and decor to the menu and tableware – echoing the brand’s unique approach and style.
Upon entering, visitors are greeted by the iconic Prada green adorning the walls, ceilings, and plush velvet sofas and armchairs. The flooring showcases the black-and-white checkered design reminiscent of Prada’s historic boutique on Corso Vittorio Emanuele II in Milan, while the floral bas-reliefs that grace the walls pay homage to Prada’s flagship stores worldwide.
Exclusive and original tableware, handpicked by Prada, complements the sophisticated surroundings. Pale-blue Japanese porcelain, inspired by ancient Celadon pottery, features contrasting double black lines on tea and coffee cups, teapots, plates, and trays. Blown-glass crystal glassware, including the Triangle series adorned with Prada’s signature triangular pattern, further enhances the dining experience.
The culinary offerings cater to all times of day, from breakfast to evening cocktails, with a refined and contemporary take on Italian tradition. The menu boasts a variety of dishes, such as sandwiches, risottos, buffalo mozzarella, salmon and crab, as well as spritz- and negroni-based aperitifs. The extensive wine list features selections from across Italy, ranging from Sicily to Piedmont.
Pastries hold a prominent place at Prada Caffè, with a stunning central counter display and an accompanying wall showcase. Expertly crafted fine patisserie items artfully combine traditional ingredients with modern techniques and innovative flavours.
Prada Caffè is open from March 31st, 2023 to January 7th, 2024, with operating hours of 9 AM to 9 PM Monday through Saturday, and 12 PM to 6 PM on Sundays. The entrance is located on Hans Road. Soon, an outdoor ice cream stall will join the café, offering a delectable range of frozen treats for Londoners to enjoy.
