A lavish breakfast billed as the most expensive in the world was unveiled today to mark the start of a West End production.
The £22,000 croissant, coffee and cocktail, created by the makers of Chambord, the French black raspberry liqueur, coincides with the opening of Breakfast At Tiffany's tonight starring Anna Friel.
The 33-year-old plays Holly Golightly, the role made famous by Audrey Hepburn in the 1961 Oscar-winning movie.
The meal includes a hand-decorated bejewelled croissant, covered in edible gold and diamonds, Bar le Duc hand-seeded redcurrant jam and a cup of Kopi Luwak coffee washed down with a Chambord and champagne cocktail worth more than £20,000.
The Chambord is served from a bottle of the liqueur encrusted with gold, diamonds and pearls worth 2.4 million US dollars (around £1.5 million) and topped up with Perrier Jouet Belle Epoque champagne.
The breakfast is available on request from Chambord www.chambordbydonaldedge.com.
