Nestled on the stunning western coast of Ireland, Galway is a city that marries rugged Atlantic charm with a refined cultural elegance, making it a delightful destination for lovers of afternoon tea. As one wanders through its cobbled streets, the aroma of freshly brewed tea and warm scones seems to waft invitingly from cosy tearooms and polished hotel lounges alike. One particularly exquisite establishment is The G Hotel, renowned for its luxurious tea service in a chic, Philippe Starck-designed setting. Here, delicate finger sandwiches, buttery scones with clotted cream, and decadent pastries are presented with the finesse one would expect from a five-star experience. Their tea selection is equally impressive, offering both classic blends and intriguing infusions ideal for the discerning palate. Another gem in Galway's afternoon tea scene is the historic Glenlo Abbey Hotel, a tranquil escape just outside the city where one can partake in the timeless indulgence of afternoon tea aboard the Pullman Restaurant, set in original Orient Express carriages. The experience is both a culinary and atmospheric delight, complete with silver service and a menu that pays homage to traditional Irish ingredients. Whether sipping Earl Grey overlooking Lough Corrib or sampling sweet treats inspired by local produce, Galway provides the perfect backdrop for an afternoon steeped in elegance and charm. For those who appreciate the genteel ritual of afternoon tea, Galway is a treasure trove waiting to be savoured.
