Last week my birthday treat from the lovely Mia was a very civilised, absolutely adorable afternoon tea for two, with champagne at The Tower restaurant.
"Open and closed sandwiches, home-baking, scones with clotted cream and deliciously indulgent cakes are piled high on tiered cake stands. Enjoy with a glass of Perrier Jouet Champagne and the Tower’s speciality teas."
It was completely lovely and only Mia would think of such a luxurious little treat like that! Big thank you again Mims. xoxo
It's the first time I've been to The Tower which is situated on the top floor of the Museum of Scotland on Chambers Street and I will definitely be going back for four reasons... Firstly, the food was delicious, I suppose you don't expect afternoon tea to fill you up so much but we didn't even get through everything and were happily filled to the brim! The highlight has to be the sweetest miniature crème brûlée on the top tier. Secondly, the view was breath-taking, it's possibly the only time I've been grateful for the sun setting early as we got to see the castle lit up from up high; magical. Thirdly, on top of all the that the service was impeccable. My fourth and final reason is that after some investigation, given the quality of what you get combined with the overall experience, the value of going for afternoon tea or lunch is surprisingly reasonable. All in all, it's well worth a visit if you're looking to treat someone special, or simply looking for something nice to do! (Just remember to book first, no walk-ins!)
Mia and I both said it's the perfect place to take parents for lunch/drinks when they next visit, my mind typically went straight to Graduation day, which I can now officially tell you is the 27th June!
