Cafe review: Patisserie Valerie, Motcomb Street, Belgravia, London

What's the Curbappeal?:
- it's all about the glorious views of beautiful Motcomb Street: sit by the window inside or at the outside tables (only a few seats in both cases). Gaze out onto one of curbappeal's favourite London streets: upper class but cosy and friendly at the same time.
- we had lovely smooth latte's and a delightful apple tart. Lots of nice looking pastry's and cakes to choose from.
