With a glass conservatory style roof, hanging lamps and draped greenery, it’d be hard to find somewhere more aesthetic for breakfast, lunch, dinner or tea than the NoMad restaurant. It’s based in a hotel, and has a really bright and natural atmosphere – with some hotel room windows overlooking the space.

I went to the NoMad for afternoon tea and having had breakfast in the restaurant last year, I just knew the tea would be lovely. From kind and helpful waiters and waitresses to well-presented and tasty food , the whole thing was exquisite. I don’t eat much meat and there was even a pescetarian and vegetarian tea menu, alluding to the same as the ‘standard’ one – but with the necessary adjustments made.
It’s attention to detail like this which is so appreciated.

Mine had two smoked salmons, and on the bottom of both was a blue cheese scone, I’m not a huge cheese lover but my boyfriend said it was the best scone he’d ever had – so take from that what you will! We were offered an extra of any of our favourites which was also a really nice touch.
The next ‘course’ was my favourite – the sweet platter. (Image: Immy Share) .
