I went there for the first time and then the following weekend : that should tell you a lot about how much I liked the food!
A little corner of serenit(ea)!
In my perfect world, I will be surrounded by a lot of teapots of varying shapes and sizes. There will be cups of tea in different flavours waiting to be tasted, tea strainers, tea pots, kettles and the intoxicating smell of the dark brew everywhere.
