The Peninsula Istanbul, Istanbul

“During my stay, I indulged in the afternoon tea experience and it was simply lovely. I enjoyed a good selection of finger sandwiches and pastries that were perfectly balanced, not too salty nor too sweet. The highlights were the warm scones served with clotted cream and the perfectly crafted floral tea. The atmosphere was enhanced by live jazz music while overlooking the fine Bosporus, making it an experience I cannot wait to repeat.” view full review
