The lovely new afternoon tea menu at a popular Cork city hotel is a culinary love letter to the River Lee. The River Lee Hotel has a new experience with a menu packed full of local produce and Cork treats. The Journey of The Lee afternoon tea is what the chefs at the loved Doyle Collection hotel are calling a "sensory celebration of the surrounding landscape and tranquil waters.
" And it's a great spot to pay homage, at The River Club overlooking the beautiful riverside. A tempting selection of treats include savoury sandwiches and desserts with ingredients that showcase Cork's rich food culture . Suppliers include Folláin Jam, Macroom Buffalo Mozzarella, Healy’s Honey and Franciscan Well Brewery.
The sandwich selection includes nods to Cork’s renowned local producers, including Twomey’s spiced beef with aïoli and pickles on Guinness bread, a delicate Ballycotton crab and dill on a navette bread roll and West Cork chicken pesto mayonnaise and Riverview egg mayonnaise with black truffle brioche. The handmade mini desserts include Barry’s Earl Grey tea macaron, Healy’s farm honey crémeux, paired with a delicate blue butterfly pea tea jelly, and the Franciscan Well Rebel Red caramel & milk chocolate mousse cake. The Journey of The Lee themed experience is available every Saturday and Sunday from 12 pm to 3 pm and is €45 per person - with a sparkling Champagne option.
