Dublin in a Week Part 4: Afternoon Tea at the Conrad Hotel

In Part 1, 2 & 3 I showed you Trinity College, Guinness Storehouse and The Japanese Gardens and no week of fun touristy things would be complete without going for Afternoon Tea somewhere. Seriously, it's just one of my favourite things to do ever. Maybe it's the combination of tiny sandwiches and champagne or perhaps it's briefly getting to act like a fancy-schmansy lady..who knows?! We went to the Conrad Hotel on Earlsford Terrace, across from the National Concert Hall. The staff were very friendly and attentive and it was a lovely experience overall.
Anyway, prepare to salivate:

Champagne! We also had Earl Grey & Mint Tea
The Layers of deliciousness!
Mini Cupcakes, Chocolate & Pistachio dipped Straberries, Berry Macaroons, Yummy Sandwiches, Scones.
Scones with strawberry jam, clotted cream and fresh strawberries (and the sign of a good afternoon tea- scones with and more importantly, without raisins. Raisins, the work of the devil), pretty tower of macaroons.

Om nom nom nom.

    1. I actually don't know! My sister bought one of those Rewarding Times vouchers so it was probably more reasonable than usual! Delicious though :)

    1. I've tried plenty of them so if you need a recommendation let me know! The best was probably the Merrion hotel one..dear god, that was good! The desserts were actual works of art!
