TEA GUILD MEMBER
The Willow Tearoom
Stunning modern designs including tall silver chairs in futuristic styles and mirrored friezes are a talking point when guests first enter these smart tearooms.
Located above a jewellery shop in this famous street, The Willow goes back to 1903 when Charles Rennie Mackintosh created a series of tea shops for owner Kate Cranston. The food served here is more than a match for the striking settings, and afternoon tea is a popular ritual with the city's many tourists.
Enjoy a selection of sandwiches, scones with preserves and cream, a choice of cakes and a delicious pot of loose leaf tea or a decent coffee.
