The Taj is fit for a Queen (aka Mother's Day)
By Queen, I mean, of course, MOM.
Although our reason for Afternoon Tea at the Taj recently were for a reason other than Mother's Day, I'm recommending this age-old custom to those of you looking for a Mother's Day outing.
Afternoon Tea has never been more elegant than at the French Room at the Taj in Boston. Located at the corner of Newbury St. and Arlington St, the Taj overlooks the beautiful (and especially lush at this time of the year) Boston Public Garden.
Once seated, service is gracious and attentive with beautiful live music wafting through the elegant high and chandeliered ceiling.
The Taj Royal is $38 and comes with finger sandwiches, canapes, tarts, scones, dipped strawberries, with clotted cream and lemon curd.
The tea selection ranges from white, green, black, oolong, herbal and chai, so there's definitely one for everyone. Reservations are recommended and be sure to wear your most floral clothes. We sure did.
HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY!

High tea is positively one of my absolute favorite things to do. This will probably be a treat for the next time my sister visits!
Mine too Clair...that, and breakfast!! :) Hope you and your sister have a grand time when you go!
how fun!! Those little sandwiches look yummy :)
I've been wanting to go to a real legit tea house. I need to find some in my area soon. Love the photos Smita. You really captured the elegance of the place.
Thanks Christine and Jaime! :)
