Tea Lounge by Dilmah

An elegantly styled addition to the Hilton foyer, combining tea expertise with the ultimate in sweet and savoury teatime treats.

The 2018 edition of The List’s Eating & Drinking Guide is out now – only £7.95 (+p&p).

The luxury, Asian-styled tea lounge at the Hilton provides all the essentials of the traditional afternoon tea and much, much more. Dilmah – the Sri Lankan tea company with historic Scottish roots – gives this new venture its unique character. The tea menu standouts are natural Ceylon Ginger or Rose and Vanilla and from the t-cocktails a G&Tea concocted by the knowledgeable Dilmah-trained sommeliers should not be missed. Three different teas are matched to each of the three courses: savoury sandwiches and pastries, warm scones, and elegant cakes. Sandwiches include cocoa bread cucumber and smoked salmon, roast Angus beef in a minute sesame slider, and chunky, succulent pesto chicken wrap. The scone menu is an indulgent delight with a fruit and plain scone per person, clotted cream, jam and homemade lemon curd. Cakes are served from a stylish trolley in delicate and enchanting mouthfuls of the lightest sponges and hand-crafted patisserie. The tiny passion fruit tart on a sliver of the shortest of pastries provides a palate-cleansing finale to the parade of afternoon tea treats.
