Best Restaurants for Afternoon Tea in Sandymount

My daughter and I had our annual Christmas afternoon tea here and it was fabulous. The atrium was beautifully decorated and very Christmassy. The food was delicious and the service was excellent. Would highly recommend.

Food was excellent, as was the service. A service fee was added to our bill which is why my rating lost a star - it is a massive bugbear of ours.

It was my 1st Afternoon Tea experience at The Shelbourne and it exceeded expectations. The attention to detail in making it a memorable experience was incredible. Our server Charlie was very friendly, very knowledgeable on the variety of teas, and very attentive to us. And the variety of savouries and sweets on the stand were irresistible. I can’t recommend it highly enough.

Fantastic experience. The staff and food was lovely. I would definitely visit here again!

When making reservation (from USA) I thought that at 1:00pm I was making a lunch reservation. Only to find they only do afternoon tea on Sat and Sun. They did give us lunch but told us that we’d need to order one afternoon tea since it’s their policy! So an extra unnecessary cost. Not impressed by that, the very least it should say that on open Table. Staff were nice and apologized for the policy!
