There are few moments as refined as the gentle invitation to slow down with tea, delicate treats, and warm conversation. At Fota Island Resort, this ritual is transformed into an art form.
Nestled in the tranquil beauty of Cork, every element of Afternoon Tea here is curated with grace, from the tea leaves to the light filtering through the windows, to the soft clink of fine china.
Step into the Fota Restaurant, where elegance meets comfort. As the offering arrives, you’re welcomed with a selection of gourmet sandwiches, each slice carefully chosen, each flavour purposeful. Then come the freshly baked scones, still warm, served with rich clotted cream and strawberry preserve for that classic indulgence. Cakes and pastries follow, delicate, intricate, irresistible. To accompany, the house‑blend tea at the resort is offered, a brew designed to complement the sweet and savoury journey before you.
Whether you choose the Traditional Afternoon Tea, add sparkle with the Prosecco Afternoon Tea , or savour something even more elevated with the Champagne Afternoon Tea , each option promises the same artistry, with an added touch of decadence for celebrations or special afternoons.
Afternoon Tea is served Sunday through Thursday from 1:00pm to 3:00pm, and on Friday and Saturday from 1:00pm until 2:30pm. Plenty of time to linger, to sip and to savour every moment. Prebooking is essential to ensure the utmost pristine and quality.
More than just tea and treats, Afternoon Tea at Fota Island Resort is an opportunity and an invitation to pause. To let the outside world soften. To relish elegance in every detail, the careful presentation, the attentive service, the whisper of nature just outside the window. It is, in short, a slice of luxury made accessible, a memory waiting to be made.
