Laguna Kitchen & Bar at Park Plaza 

 

When it comes to Cardiff's hotels, Park Plaza always comes out on top in the fight for the best afternoon tea! Not only do they provide a delicious selection of cakes and desserts, but they also offer a choice of themed afternoon teas, depending on your individual tastes. Alongside the traditional option, Laguna Kitchen also offer a 'Gentleman's' tea, complete with mini venison burgers and Yorkshire puddings. One of their most popular, however, is the Hendricks 'G & Tea', which swaps the traditional beverage for a refreshing cocktail!
