A Look Into Prada Caffè at Harrods

Upon entering Prada Caffè at Harrods in London, one is immediately awash in the soft light of Prada’s mint green interiors. The large floor tiles are checkered in black and white, mirroring the brand’s iconic monochrome designs and maintaining an air of classicism. Also classic, yet pumped with Prada stylism, is the exclusive tableware, complete with Japanese porcelain and crystal glassware.

The Caffè serves a modern take of classic Italian cuisine, including breakfast, lunch, dinner, small bites, and signature cocktails. The sophisticated menu ranges from dainty finger sandwiches and tiny puffed pizzas (if you just want a snack and a break from shopping) to far richer fare, like risotto with saffron and 24 month aged parmesan, or ricotta and spinach cannelloni served with black truffle.

This is not all, lets not forget the pastry menu, which boasts such delicacies as lemon cake, pistachio cake, and the classic tiramisu. Being an Italian Caffè, they of course have a coffee bar too, so one must not forget the espresso.

This cafe is a move that makes a lot of sense for the brand. Prada is one of the most famous fashion houses of all time, known for its classic, chic style. In fact, it is so famously associated with glamor and wealth that at times it seems inaccessible and stuffy. By opening the Prada Caffè, the brand is both leaning into their status, embracing the luxurious experience that they offer, and showing that they can adapt to a new world and offer creative, unique experiences to anyone.
