Situated in the house of the former curator of the Botanic Gardens, this busy little tearoom in the heart of the West End is a picturesque spot for a bite to eat. The outdoor patio overlooks beautiful Kibble Palace and is a lovely setting to enjoy one of the garden-themed afternoon teas. Choose from The Kibble, The Botanic or The Kelvin, ranging in price from £10.50 to £13.50. All include sandwiches, scones and baked goods in varying quantities. The soup and sandwich deal for £8.50 is good value for money and there are a variety of breads to sample including farmhouse white, Struan (from the Western Isles) light rye or gluten-free. You can’t miss the impressive range of cakes on display, so indulge in a big slice washed down with a cup of Matthew Algie coffee.
