“How would it be if you came and had tea with me?” – Mr. Tumnus
Christmas is just around the corner and The Imperial Hotel has launched a brand new whimsical afternoon tea, just in-time for the festive season.
Prepare to have your tastebuds transported to another land with the newly crafted Narnia-themed Afternoon Tea menu, served with an ‘‘Always Winter, Never Christmas’ cocktail.
The new menu features savoury elements which celebrate seasonal and local flavours such as a Cork spiced beef and smoked salmon from the English market, a selection of finger sandwiches and scones.
Clever references to the beloved Chronicles of Narnia books are found in abundance in the sweet tier which features intricate desserts such as:
‘Candle in the Dark’ – Hazelnut Sponge, Maple Mousse, Pear Compôte, & Hazelnut Crisp on Chocolate Sablé
‘Winter’s Crown’ – Pistachio Cake, Orange Mousse & Orange Jelly on Vanilla Sablé
‘Snowy Christmas Tree’ – Almond Cake, Dark Belgian Chocolate Mousse with a Cherry Gelée
‘Edmond’s Delight’ – Decadently dusted Turkish Delight sweet treat
This out of this world afternoon tea experience is priced €49 per person with the festive cocktail (non-alcoholic version available on request).
You can check out the full Afternoon Tea Menu here, and head over to the Imperial Hotel website to make your booking.
