Some afternoons are meant to be savoured slowly, one piece at a time.

Madeleine de Proust at Fairmont Mumbai trades the usual rush of the city for the gentle rhythm of a puzzle table. Settle in with a pot of fine tea and a tiered spread of handcrafted patisserie, from delicate éclairs to signature bites from our pastry kitchen, as you and your companions put the pieces together.

Bring a friend, your family, or that one person who always insists they're better at puzzles. There will be a little friendly competition, plenty of conversation, and the quiet satisfaction of fitting that final piece into place.

It's a slow, sweet, wonderfully unhurried afternoon, served the Fairmont way.
