(NEWS) LONDON, England, United Kingdom, 2026-Sep-16 — /Travel PR News/ — Four Seasons Hotel London at Park Lane has added a new reason to stop in Mayfair between lunch and dinner, with chef Yannick Alléno turning the croissant into an all-day dining format at La Croissanterie.
The concept, now open in Pavyllon Lounge, runs daily from noon until 8:00 pm and places hand-laminated croissants at the centre of both savoury and sweet dishes. Rather than treating the pastry as a breakfast staple, the menu moves it into the territory of afternoon dining and early-evening supper, with prices for the headline savoury croissants starting from GBP 15.
According to the Four Seasons launch announcement, the idea draws on the atmosphere of Parisian grand cafés and the French tradition of pausing in the afternoon for something to eat and drink. Its London setting, however, is firmly rooted in Mayfair: La Croissanterie sits inside Pavyllon Lounge next to Pavyllon London, Alléno’s Michelin-starred restaurant at the Park Lane hotel.
Croissants move from breakfast to full meal
The savoury menu shows how far the concept moves from the conventional bakery counter. Caesar Chicken reworks the familiar salad combination inside a butter-rich croissant, while Scottish Lobster brings together lobster, egg mayonnaise, smoked pike roe and fresh tarragon.
Other options include Arabic Lamb, made with 36-hour confit lamb shoulder, and Asian Wagyu with sautéed Wagyu beef. The combinations give the pastry enough substance to function as a lunch or light supper rather than a snack, while retaining the layered texture that defines the classic French bake.
Sweet choices take an equally composed approach. The Hazelnut Chocolate Croissant combines chocolate ganache, salted caramel and chocolate shavings, while the Almond Praliné brings together toasted almond cream, caramelised almonds and vanilla glaze.
The drinks list is designed around the same extended-day format, with coffee made from an exclusive Lavazza blend, iced Kagoshima ceremonial matcha, cold brew options and JING teas. Alléno’s signature chocolates are also available, including individual chocolate sticks and a three-piece selection featuring Tahitian vanilla bean, coffee and Breton shortbread flavours.
A new layer for Pavyllon London
La Croissanterie extends the dining offer around Pavyllon London without replicating the restaurant’s full fine-dining format. The lounge setting and continuous noon-to-evening service create a more flexible option for hotel guests, local diners and visitors moving through Mayfair during the afternoon.
Pavyllon London itself opened at Four Seasons Hotel London at Park Lane in July 2023 as Alléno’s first London restaurant. The original opening introduced a British expression of the chef’s modern French style alongside Bar Antoine, with restaurant, counter and private-dining spaces designed to create a more relaxed approach to fine dining.
The restaurant went on to receive a Michelin star in 2024 and retained it in the 2026 Great Britain & Ireland Guide, giving the new croissant concept a setting already associated with Alléno’s broader London operation.
A practical stop for visitors around Hyde Park and Mayfair
For travellers, the concept’s most useful feature may be its timing. The noon-to-8:00 pm service fills the gap between traditional lunch and dinner periods, making it workable for an afternoon break, an early meal or a stop after exploring nearby Mayfair and Hyde Park.
The location inside Four Seasons Hotel London at Park Lane, at Hamilton Place on the edge of Mayfair, also means diners do not need to book a full restaurant experience to sample Alléno’s food. Table reservations can be made through Pavyllon Lounge, while walk-ins are accepted subject to availability.
La Croissanterie is ultimately a compact idea built around a familiar pastry, but its appeal lies in how deliberately the croissant has been moved beyond breakfast. By treating it as a vehicle for lobster, confit lamb, Wagyu, chocolate and praline, the Mayfair concept gives one of France’s best-known bakery staples a distinctly restaurant-led role throughout the day.
