The Parlour Restaurant at Fortnum & Mason in Piccadilly provides a gastronomic indulgence for the sweet tooth in a bright and cheerful ambience. Children of all ages, adults included, can sample a range of ice cream sundaes, many with unique flavours, along with sorbets, smoothies and sodas.

Featured are a variety of delicious concoctions with memorable names such as chocolossus, bee keeper, dusty road, rota plaustri and maple dipper, all of which could tempt you to throw dietary caution to the winds. Alternatively indulge yourself with Viennese specialities like chocolate truffle torte, Esterhazy cake and a range of strudels with hot chocolate, coffees and teas in attendance. Open sandwiches of Cajun chicken and tiger prawns as well as smoked salmon parcel and Welsh rarebit provide the savoury counterpoint. You may find that an Amedei chocolate fondue for two with marshmallows, fresh fruits and amaretti biscuits along with a glass of Prosecco is just the thing to banish the blues.
