Afternoon Tea in The Atrium Lounge

July 21, 2017

A few weeks ago, my sister treated myself and my Mam to afternoon tea in The Atrium Lounge in The Westin Hotel, for both our birthdays. And what a treat it was....

Firstly The Atrium Lounge is stunning! It's a beautiful, bright, internal courtyard right in the middle of The Westin Hotel with a five storey high glass ceiling. Once we were seated we instantly ordered a glass of prosecco (no surprises there) and we were advised on the options available to us. There are two types of afternoon tea to choose from. One is A Most Peculiar Afternoon Tea and the other, which we went for, is a traditional afternoon tea.

As much as I like my sweets and cakes I was after a good balance of sweet and savoury and the traditional afternoon tea was perfect for this. Shortly after ordering we were presented with a towering display of our delicacies.

The bottom tier was all savoury including a delicious brioche roll filled with egg mayonaisse (my favourite!), a brown bread scone topped with salmon and several other small but equally delicious sandwiches.

The next tier was a classic scone with plenty of butter and jam as well as a slice of carrot and walnut cake, topped with cream cheese.

After all of that and a quick break, I finally had room to tackle the top tier. This tier was jam packed with mini, mouth watering desserts.

By the time we were finished we were ready to be rolled home! All in all the only was to describe our day, is - fabulous. The food, the location, the staff - everything was excellent. The afternoon tea was €34 per person, prosecco not included. It was a fantastic day out with my Mam and sister and highly recommend it if you're looking for something a bit different to do.
