Afternoon Tea at the Mirror Room, Rosewood Hotel, London

Afternoon Tea at the Mirror Room, Rosewood Hotel, London


We went for afternoon tea/lunch at Rosewood Hotel's Mirror Room for my dad's birthday. Everything was lovely! I could not have picked a better place to celebrate my dad's birthday. Not only is the venue stunning, the staff are super friendly and  helpful and the restaurant is very child friendly.
 
 
 
 
The food was exquisite and the afternoon tea was just as advertised and tasted even better than expected. The pastries are really works of art and are ever so light and fluffy. Absolutely delicious.  The sandwiches and scones from the afternoon tea were divine.
 
 
 

 
 

I chose to have club sandwich rather than the afternoon tea and it was probably one of the best club sandwiches I ever had (no joke but no one ever seems to get the club sandwich right!)
 

 
 

I want to reiterate again that the service was fantastic and I feel so bad that my little baby made a tiny mess around her chair! However, the staff were ever so nice about it!
I will definitely be going back there!
 
 
 
 
In addition to the lovely Mirror Room, I think Rosewood is such a pretty hotel for pics (though I don't think my photos do justice to the real thing!)

Orso Restaurant, Covent Garden

Orso Restaurant, Covent Garden
27 Wellington Street, London WC2E 7DB

I found this restaurant in Bookatable app as I was looking for Italian cuisine. The restaurant has friendly staff and the food is lovely and very homely as well as being quite authentic. The pasta was amazing and a la dante. The starters were delicious and the chocolate and caramel torte was one of the best I ever had I think!





The restaurant is very reasonably priced for the location and totally worth it. Also, very important, the toilets are so pretty and VERY clean! 






Would definitely go again


Style of the day



After dinner we took a stroll through Covent Garden and of course stopped to get chocolates at Hotel Chocolat

I also found the prettiest floral swing to take pics in!

 
 
 

For the night, I wore a star pattern dress from Denim & Supply by Ralph Lauren and coupled it with black boots and a red quilted handbag (both from Chanel)

Saturday afternoon in Mayfair & Piccadilly



I love taking walks in London when the weather is nice so on Saturday I thought I would walk from Mayfair to Piccadilly and round the day off with some lovely afternoon tea at Richoux in Piccadilly.


Davies St



I started my walk on Davies Street and strolled in to Grays Antique Centre, an antiques arcade, where I found some gorgeous snuff and miniature boxes. Worth having a look even if you don't buy anything - they have such pretty things!



Walking further on, you will come across Wild Thing Flowers,  which is probably one of the prettiest flower shops in London and they have some amazing blooms!




A little further on and you come across some funky Easter décor at Hedonism Wines - seriously just go to check out the décor if nothing else and the funky swings outside!

Burlington Arcade


I then walked to Bond St and through Burlington Arcade to Piccadilly. Burlington Arcade is probably one of the prettiest places in London with the gorgeous bespoke shops and of course, Laduree, where you can grab yourself some yummy macaroons! However, they do not like being photographed!




Fortnum & Mason


Of course, you have to have a quick wander in Fortnum & Mason when in Piccadilly. They have some yummy Easter chocolates and lovely Easter décor so check it out!



Afternoon Tea at Richoux


I finally rounded the afternoon off at Richoux for some afternoon tea.  I had fabulous dark chocolate torte with my tea and some gorgeous scones and finger sandwiches! It is such a bustling restaurant with  great atmosphere. The afternoon tea is lovely and deliciously indulgent!
