“The train may not have left the station but, nevertheless, we embarked on an exquisite taste journey that wasn’t just romantic, but one of the best dining experiences i have had in a very long time”, Lucinda O’Sullivan, 2016
Now serving Afternoon Tea in the opulent surroundings of the Pullman Restaurant at Glenlo Abbey Hotel every Saturday. A unique dining experience, offering panoramic views over Glenlo Abbey Estate and Lough Corrib in the distance.
Set in two, gorgeously-restored carriages that once travelled to destinations as exotic as Monte Carlo and St. Petersburg - and even featured in Sidney Lumet’s 1974 movie, ‘Murder on the Orient Express’, starring Albert Finney and Ingrid Bergman - these Galway girls form Ireland’s most unusual hotel dining rooms.
Background ‘clickity-clack’ and hooting noises lend an authenticity to the experience and the romance is sustained by discreetly piped music of the 1940s and 50s.
Served from 1pm - 4pm and bookings are advisable. Choose from a Classic Afternoon Tea; €24.50pp, a dainty assortment include freshly baked scones, Kylemore Abbey jams, seasonal sandwiches, and decadent pastries, macaroons and cakes served with loose leaf tea, herbal tea selection or freshly brewed coffee or indulge with a Champagne Afternoon Tea from €35pp.
