PALM COURT — Restaurant in George Town

Tried the 3-5pm high tea deal here and enjoyed it so much. It’s definitely a place you go if you want to feel a little rah rah while you chat to a friend over some really good cakes and sweet items, decent savory selections and very worthwhile mini scones that included nanas 🍍jam next to the cream and regular strawberry.
