Willow Tearooms, Glasgow

The Willow Tea Rooms, located on Buchanan Street in the heart of Glasgow's famous style district, provide a unique dining experience infused with local history and culture. These tea rooms pay homage to Kate Cranston's original Ingram Street Tea Rooms and feature meticulously recreated spaces like the Ladies Luncheon Room and Chinese Room, also known as the White Dining Room and the Blue Room. These rooms showcase Charles Rennie Mackintosh's distinctive use of contrasting light and dark colors, creating an elegant and inviting atmosphere.

Open every day, the Willow Tea Rooms offer an extensive menu catering to a variety of tastes and dietary requirements. Guests can savor traditional Scottish Savory Dishes like Haggis, Neeps & Tatties, the Saint Andrews Platter, and Lapsang Souchong Tea Smoked Salmon with Avocado Toast. The dessert selection is equally impressive, featuring homemade treats such as Willow meringues, chocolate cake, and frosted carrot cake. For a more indulgent experience, the Tea Rooms also offer a popular traditional afternoon tea, accompanied by a selection of wines, champagne, prosecco, Scottish Beers, and Whiskys.

Moreover, the Tea Rooms accommodate special dietary needs through Miss Cranston's Free From Menu, which includes options for vegans, vegetarians, gluten-free, and dairy-free diets. If you want to take a piece of this iconic establishment home, the gift shop offers a diverse range of Mackintosh and Glasgow-inspired merchandise. It's the perfect spot for both locals and tourists looking for an authentic Glasgow experience.
