Not satisfied with a pizzeria, rotisserie, ice cream parlour, champagne bar, several cafes, caviar bar, sea grill, steakhouse, sushi bar and multiple fine dining options, Harrods have decided that there’s something missing in their gastronomic offerings. And lo, The Tea Room was born.
Celebrating the best of British, The Tea Room features a quintessentially English line-up of mouth-watering fare. Open all day, it’s the perfect stop for either a hearty breakfast before your shopping or a sumptuous break from all that exertion, letting you rest your weary feet as you indulge in some afternoon fancies and a cup of tea.
But guests beware; The Tea Room is one of those places you just won’t want to leave. Mixing a bistro vibe with that of a traditional English tea-room, it’s filled with luxurious green velvet studded sofas and simple wooden chairs, creating an elegant yet understated surround. What’s more, the food is to die for as the kitchen offers a variety of delicious options, from buttery brioche to tasty quiches and salads. It’s a wonderful treat any time of the day.
However, the traditional Afternoon Tea is the pièce de résistance, featuring a range of finger sandwiches, sweet and savory scones and delectable English fancies. With so many scrumptious treats including passion fruit posset, after eight pastry, boozy English trifle, banana pie bomb and lemon meringue slice, you might struggle to find a favourite.
So let us give you a suggestion – try the sticky toffee pudding gateaux accompanied by the Vanilla Excellence Chinese black tea. It’s the perfect sweet afternoon treat to stave off those winter blues.
The Tea Room is located on the Second Floor of Harrods and is open Monday-Saturday 10am-8pm and Sunday 12pm-6pm.
