Beautiful castle looking restaurant where you can have high tea. The high tea was pretty good with some tasty salty treats and cakes. Looked really pretty as well. The charcuterie board was ok, but I would def recommend the high tea instead as it was more unique and better value for money.
Also, I believe my wine was spoiled - it tasted and smelled funny, and even the color looked off. I asked the waitress about it but I don’t think she understood me because of the language barrier.

Stewed lamb shank is so tender and falls off the bone. The desserts, soup and freshly baked bread accompanying the main course were good. Earl Grey tea with the high tea set was refillable. Savoury snacks in the high tea were all great. The sweet snacks were adorable except a little too sweet for our liking. We like the place and ambience here.
Great and prompt attentive service especially by the lady in coat, serving us bread. Free flow drinks available. Only improvement is to reduce the sugar in the nescafe machine for matcha latte as it is way too sweet. Coffee was okay as no...
