Best Restaurants for Afternoon Tea in Celbridge

Eden is a huge asset to the hotel group! She was really welcoming, kind and courteous! We watched her Voice audition afterwards at home as my mam was delighted she sang her Happy Birthday not realising she was an excellent singer! The Voice’s loss is MHL’s gain. The food is good, but more variety in the dessert flavours would benefit. The sandwich bread felt slightly hard to touch, as if they’d been prepared earlier and left in the fridge uncovered. The serving set does not have matching teapots which is noticeable & individual spoons to accompany the scone condiments would be good additions. Overall enjoyable experience courtesy of Eden.

The food and service was great when serving the 1st & 2nd courses. When it came to the dessert they must have forgotten about us as we were left waiting for a menu after been asked if we would like to order dessert. In the end, we decided to forget about and left.

We had a really enjoyable afternoon tea experience in the beautiful Lord Mayors lounge at the Shelbourne Hotel.

Wonderful experience! The tea service is overwhelming. Very good food and really too much! The servers are delightful and know just when to check in. When the pianist is playing it is extraordinary. The regular lunch is also very good. The presentation and freshness of the food is noticeable. Enjoy!

The Grill is quite small, so I'd suggest you book in advance. We selected 2 different fish starters, which were beautifully flavored , served prompt with a smile. Opting for the Jasper Steak menu as our mains, both the fillet and ribeye were cooked to perfection. Being 8oz steaks, we were not over faced with giant pieces of meat, allowing us to eat well but leave not feeling too full to move. Highly recommend this restaurant if you can plan in advance.
