Chengdu, China, 18 August 2023 – Niccolo Chengdu together with Delvaux, luxury fine leather goods house from Belgium and Official Purveyor to the Royal Court, celebrates 125 years of great Belgian Surrealist artist, Rene Magritte, with an exclusive Afternoon Tea set inspired by the limited edition Delvaux Magritte collection and the grand theme of love, from 18 August and 6 October, 2023. A homage to the ancient capital of Chengdu, this special Delvaux “L'Amour” Afternoon Tea set, plays with authentic Belgian cuisine peppered with classic Sichuan flavours amidst the fantastical world of Magritte.



Niccolo Chengdu and Delvaux jointly launch “L'Amour” Afternoon Tea, to honour the birthday of surrealist artist and painter René Magritte. Inspired by Magritte's Le Fils de L’Homme, the “Apple of My Eye” exudes fragrant fennel and sour fruity notes from its apple-shaped appearance. The “L’Amour” is crafted in a refreshing method out of the shape of brightly blooming roses as portrayed by Magritte. “The Peace and Love” and “On Cloud Nine” feature Magritte's silhouettes, as well as the iconic sky and cloud elements represented in his paintings.

The L'Amour Afternoon Tea is an ingenious blend of traditional Belgian flavours and captivating Sichuan delicacies. Belgian Fish Croquette with Tomato Dip, full of aromatic and salty notes, are crispy on the outside and tender inside. The “From the Kingdom of Belgium” and freshly baked authentic Belgian Waffles represent the quintessential comforting richness and serve as a fitting tribute to Belgian cultural classics. Sichuan Poached Beef Tartlet and Spicy Avocado Egg Sandwich are cooked with local ingredients to bring out their rich tastes.



Spend an art-filled afternoon in the surreal atmosphere all made possible by René Magritte’s fantastical and imaginative paintings right here at The Tea Lounge. From now until October 6th, guests can purchase the L'Amour Afternoon Tea at only RMB428/set in the hotel's WeChat mall, and receive an exquisite Delvaux gift.
