"For the ultimate luxury afternoon tea experience, a visit to the 5* Merchant Hotel in Belfast’s City Centre is a must. The traditional afternoon tea is served with a selection of finger sandwiches, delicate pastries and scones with clotted cream."

"Best Places Around the World for Afternoon Tea: The Merchant Hotel - If you ever find yourself in Belfast, Northern Ireland I highly recommend heading to the Merchant Hotel to enjoy their fine afternoon tea for yourself."

Elaine McArdle

"The afternoon tea was really beautiful and the hotel setting was spectacular. The afternoon tea servings were generous, enough so that we came out with a box of goodies that we couldn’t finish. Our server was helpful and gave us excellent service throughout the afternoon."

Zoë McCullough

"Afternoon tea at the Merchant Hotel is the ultimate treat in Belfast City Centre. Served in the traditional way with finger sandwiches and pastries on a silver tea stand, Afternoon Tea is served daily and accompanied by music at the weekend."

Lynne Crowther

"If you have a special occasion, or simply want to spoil yourself, book this experience. I definitely want to go back!"

Laura Thomson

"As you can imagine, we had a lot of food to get through and one dessert in we had to admit defeat but The Merchant kindly boxed up what we weren’t able to finish so we could enjoy it later at home. If you are visiting the city or just want to treat someone special, (or yourself!) I would definitely recommend booking a place for Afternoon Tea."

Kathryn McGowan

"The ideal birthday present (we usually start hinting three weeks before); The Merchant’s Afternoon Tea is quite simply one of the most pleasant ways to spend an afternoon."
