A Chic and Stylish Culinary Haven at Harrods
When guests enter the Prada Caffè, they are met by an interior that reflects the typical Prada style. The interior of the Prada Caffè is dominated by a mint green color scheme, making it a feast for the eyes as well as the taste senses. The black-and-white checkered flooring that is reminiscent of the Prada store in Galleria Vittorio Emanuele II in Milan and the flower bas reliefs that are inspired by the brand’s international flagships are just two examples of how well designed every component of the café’s layout is. The café also has a sizable balcony space that gives guests additional seats and an opportunity to observe Harrods’ bustling atmosphere from above.
What culinary delights await at this charming cafe?
This stylish café serves a wonderful cuisine that includes breakfast, lunch, dinner, small healthy snacks, and aperitivo, together with sandwiches, mozzarella, risotto, and seafood dishes with salmon and crab. The burrata with scapece zucchini, topped with a mound of herbs, is one of the best of the lighter Italian mains on offer. Visitors can also enjoy delectable pasta meals such as spaghetti with datterino tomatoes, stracciatella, and basil, and indulge in indulgent sweets like as the 72% chocolate cake and vanilla berry fruit tart.
One of the highlights of the café is its selection of signature cocktails, each with amusing names like Tuscan Blossom, Mediterraneo, Italian Fizz, and Bitter in Love. The café also boasts an impressive selection of wines from Piedmont to Sicily, ensuring that there is something for every palate.
The Prada Caffè also offers an array of cakes and pastries, which are displayed on a large counter available for both dine-in and takeaway. The pastries range from classic Italian treats like tiramisu to more unconventional options like hazelnut cake and various sponges. Floor-to-ceiling displays of delicious Prada-branded chocolates, candies, and other treats add to the café’s charm.

This decision means that clients and fashion enthusiasts will have the opportunity to savor the delectable selections and take in the unrivaled elegance and sophistication that Prada is known for.
The Prada Caffè is more than just a pop-up experience. It’s an opportunity to immerse oneself in the world of Prada, to experience the brand’s aesthetic and philosophy in a new and unexpected way.
