The interiors / Plate it up

Dispel thoughts of cloudy skies, rain and cold nights this winter. Maison Margaux can help you inject rainbows of colour into your home through brilliantly bright tablescapes. With every plate, saucer and napkin, you can feel the jauntiness of summer radiating through your home. Feel the rays of the Sicilian sun with plates painted in lemons, the nautical cheer of striped blue and white tablecloths or the floral haze of spring with pink side plates. They’re a beauty to behold and to share.

The champagne / Raise a toast

The pop of a cork always brings that familiar feel of joy. The chance to celebrate a birthday, perhaps, or a wedding. Or maybe just standing under the shimmering chandelier in the Moët & Chandon Champagne Bar in Harrods is celebration enough.

It might take time to select your favourite tipple from Moët & Chandon’s largest standalone bar in Europe, but you’ll never be disappointed with your chosen sip. The Sgroppino Royale cocktail with rhubarb, champagne and apple sorbet is a good place to start before you savour some delectable food pairings, such as burrata toasts with kimchee and black sesame. 

Open 12pm-9pm daily
