It was a fun time being a tourist in London again. But even better when my brother-in-law knows so much information about the places like a travel guide which is where it led us to The Parlour at Fortnum & Mason in London. We were craving dessert and with all the walking we had done, we needed a sweet treat to keep us going. Also, it was a perfect opportunity to look around the shop too. Luckily, we were seated quickly in the diner-style restaurant where tables were turned over as soon as they were free.
What we had:
๐จ Build your own sundae
๐จ Scoops of champagne sorbet and raspberry ripple
๐ฅค The Honeycomb shake
Looking at the menu, you can select hot and cold, sweet and savoury desserts so you can take a pick of what you may fancy. I decided to build my own sundae which included scoops of salted caramel and vanilla with salted caramel sauce and caramelised popcorn. As you can tell, this was a fabulous sweet dessert with my favourite flavours. The scoops of ice cream were soft and melted very easily. You don’t realise how filling it is when you’ve had half of it.
Whereas my brother-in-law had scoops of champagne sorbet and raspberry. He loved the taste of the champagne sorbet since it was very light with a strawberry flavour. This melted quicker than the raspberry ripple. This dessert doesn’t overindulge in alcohol and makes it ideal for a daytime dessert to have.
My sister had the honeycomb milkshake that had salted caramel and vanilla ice cream with honeycomb, honey and cream. It was thick in texture with every slurp bringing the goodness of the milkshake. This is one for you if you don’t want to eat a sundae or waffles that they do. It’s best to have this milkshake in the Parlour rather than to-go.
You can visit The Parlour at Fortnum & Mason, you don’t need to book in and queue up for a seat.
