Afternoon tea meets designer fashion as Max Mara teams up with Lusso by Margarita Forés for a limited high tea experience running from Oct. 6 to Nov. 15, 2026.
Served daily from 2 to 5 PM, the Max Mara High Tea is available at Lusso's restaurants in The Podium, Rockwell, and Greenbelt 5. The set costs P2,650 for two, subject to a 10% service charge. Guests can also add a glass of prosecco for P490.
The tiered spread opens with four sweets, including a Nut Trio Tart Mont Blanc with hazelnut, walnut, pecan, and chestnut cream, alongside Honey Panna Cotta finished with organic honey and sugar tuile. There is also an Espresso Macaron filled with espresso buttercream and chocolate ganache, plus a Max Mara Sugar Cookie bearing the fashion house's initials.
On the savory side, guests can expect Egg and Espelette Pepper on Milk Bread with egg salad, a Truffle Prosciutto Bikini layered with truffle mayonnaise, prosciutto, and Asiago cheese; and Prawn Mayonnaise with Tarragon on Brioche.
Brown Butter Scones round out the food selection, served with strawberry jam and mascarpone.
For drinks, diners can choose from Mariage Frères teas such as Marco Polo, Earl Grey Impérial, Rouge Pleine Lune, English Breakfast Tea, and Vert Provence. Coffee options include Americano, espresso, caffe latte, cappuccino, and caffe mocha.
The collaboration brings together two names with strong Italian ties. Max Mara was founded in Reggio Emilia in 1951 by Achille Maramotti, who built the fashion house around high-quality womenswear produced using modern industrial tailoring techniques. The brand has since grown into one of Italy's most recognized ready-to-wear labels.
Lusso, meanwhile, was founded by the late Chef Margarita Forés, whose culinary training included time in Italy and France. The restaurant is also listed in the MICHELIN Guide 20266 and is known for their take on classic European dining.
