Huge plot hole!
The apartment didn't have a kitchen! I suppose it could be explained away by if you look like Grace Kelly you don't have to cook
shareIt must have had a kitchen, because how else could Tony have prepared tea for the policemen?

There was a kitchen. Wendice showed it to the police inspector and said it had bars on the window.
shareYes the kitchen was alluded to, but that would could hardly be called a plot hole anyway.
shareYes, he opened the door to the kitchen (which was between the garden door and the bar), and we could actually see part of it. He also walked out of the kitchen door with the tray full of tea for the police officers.
shareI was watching some other older movie recently (I can't remember which one) in which somebody didn't have a cooking area or a refrigerator in their apartment. So they just had to get take-out all the time, or get ready-to-eat foods that wouldn't go bad too quickly.
That being said, there is definitely a kitchen in the apartment in this film. OP must not have been paying attention.
