The Royal York Hotel – a real touch of class
Is afternoon tea just for groups of ladies that want to be civilised? My wife tells me not, in fact she tells me that an afternoon together, chatting and having tea and accompanying sandwiches and cakes is rather romantic, take note gents!
So what better place to head for an afternoon of indulgence than the The Royal York Hotel
A glass of Champaign is followed by the flowing supply of English breakfast for me and earl grey tea for my wife, which is very well revived, as is the way the tea is served, loose leafs and an array of tools to ensure the perfect brew, brownie points with my wife are growing by the minute!
Of course what really makes me sit up and take note are the sandwiches and cakes, we begin with a beautifully crafted entrée that includes amongst others a crab mousse and a cream cheese and pumpkin blini, all of which are an absolute delight, well crafted and full of layers of flavour, as things stand this couldn’t be better.
The scones with clotted cream and jam are on another level and possibly some of the best scones I’ve had, I certainly don’t remember better!
If however you require an afternoon tea that replicates the experiance that may have been present the last time afternoon tea enjoyed this level of popular then I urge you to visit The Royal York Hotel, the look feel and taste to this place is simply stunning!
