The Victorian Secret
The Victorian Secret is our go-to for light brunch, delicate high tea and perfectly baked sweet treats. Visit early in the morning and relax in the picturesque gardens while indulging in The Queen Victoria - two poached eggs, bacon, rocket, grilled tomato, crisp rosti and creamy hollandaise sauce. Before you leave, pick up some of their famed macarons. Available in a rainbow of flavours, these soft and crumbly treats are totally worth it.
