Afternoon Tea for Two

Afternoon Tea @ The Westbury

Last Saturday, one of my oldest friends and I met up to celebrate her birthday with some afternoon tea at The Westbury Hotel. Perfect little sambos, warm scones, delicious macaroons (the salted caramel one was my fave, by a long shot) and lots and lots of lovely cups of peppermint tea. I loved the view across Grafton St, which was absolutely hopping, and the near constant pop of champagne or giggle in the background – afternoon tea is very much having a moment right now (two other places I contacted where totally booked out!).

  1. i’ve been meaning to give afternoon tea a go in a beautiful hotel but i’m so worried to be out of place and knock trays and do other clumsy things. I’m not the elegant lady but your dreamy pictures are sure tempting me! xmoira

    1. Thank you Moira! I wouldn’t worry at all  – I am super clumsy and managed just fine 🙂 The staff there are lovely, you feel very comfortable and the dress code is pretty casual.
