Fiorentina, the Italian café at Grand Hyatt Tokyo in Roppongi, will serve a Christmas-limited "Christmas Afternoon Tea" from December 1 (Tue) to December 23 (Wed), 2026.
"Merenda" is a food culture loved in Italy, in which people enjoy sweets and light snacks while spending a relaxed time with family and friends. Inspired by this Italian way of spending the afternoon, Fiorentina has put together an afternoon tea with a festive holiday touch.
Christmas Afternoon Tea
Available: December 1 (Tue) to December 23 (Wed), 2026
Hours: 3:00 PM to 5:00 PM (2-hour seating)
Price: ¥6,600 (tax included; 15% service charge not included) / ¥8,580 with one glass of sparkling wine
Sweets
The sweets lineup includes classic Italian dolci: a tiramisu made with espresso, a Mont Blanc with the gentle sweetness of Japanese chestnut, and a panna cotta topped with sweet-tart strawberries. Chocolate decorations shaped like a reindeer and a gingerbread man cookie add to the holiday-season excitement.
The tea also includes a mini version of "Crema Panettone Strawberry," a popular winter item every year at the neighboring Fiorentina Pastry Boutique, made for the afternoon tea. Panettone, the traditional bread that is a must at Christmas in Italy, is topped with hazelnut cream and baked so that it is crisp on the outside and soft on the inside. Custard cream, whipped cream, and plenty of strawberries are sandwiched between the layers of dough.
- Strawberry Panna Cotta
- Monte Bianco Giapponese
- Chocolate Roll Cake with Raspberry Jelly
- Strawberry Panettone
- Tiramisu
Savory
Savory items include a panini filled with house-made salsiccia and tomato, and an Italian-style omelet with the rich flavor of pancetta. A bruschetta combining gorgonzola cheese, apple, and walnut and a tartlet of slow-braised beef cheek are also served, finished with rich flavors suited to winter.
- House-made Salsiccia and Tomato Panini with Genovese Sauce
- Braised Beef Cheek and Mashed Potato Tartlet
- Spinach, Pancetta, and Ricotta Cheese Frittata
- Brandade Croquette with Rémoulade Sauce
- Apple, Walnut, and Gorgonzola Bruschetta
Pandoro, in Place of Scones
Instead of the usual scones, the afternoon tea features "Pandoro," a traditional Italian bread. Pandoro has a golden, soft dough mixed with plenty of eggs and butter, and is one of the leavened sweet breads enjoyed at Christmas in Italy. Two types are available: plain, and one kneaded with premium dried fruit from Italy's Agrimontana. Both are served with mascarpone cheese and organic raspberry jam.
- Dried Fruit Pandoro
- Plain Pandoro
- Mascarpone cheese, organic raspberry jam
Drinks
Black tea, café latte (iced or hot), cappuccino (iced or hot), and more are available as free-flow drinks.
Chefs' Comments
Yosuke Haizuka, Head Chef at Fiorentina
"Besides harmonizing with the sweets, I designed the savories so that guests can feel the appeal of 'Merenda,' Italy's light-meal culture. I used ingredients loved in Italy, such as salsiccia, pancetta, and gorgonzola, and paid close attention to the balance of texture, aroma, and flavor. Please enjoy the breadth of Italian flavors together with the colorful dolci that suit the holiday season."
Yuta Sensui, Head Pastry Chef
"In addition to Italy's signature sweets such as tiramisu, panettone, and pandoro, we have prepared a menu full of seasonal feeling with strawberries and chocolate. I hope you will spend a relaxed afternoon while thinking of the holiday season in Italy."
