My favourite place for tea is having another awesome promotion. To mark its second UAE National Day in Dubai, Fortnum & Mason will be offering a series of specials to customers in its first standalone store outside of the UK.

On 2nd December, guests will be able to enjoy their meals in either the elegant Restaurant & Tea Salon or The Parlour, where kids will eat for free. Specialties created for the occasion include a National Day coloured Battenberg cake and a special Ice Cream Sundae.

With its passion for food and speciality in refined dining experiences, Fortnum’s offers stunning views over the Burj Khalifa. Its menu brings together the finest ingredients to create a wide range of options for breakfast, lunch and dinner.

On National Day, guests can also enjoy the Dubai Tea Blend introduced earlier in the year to celebrate the opening of Fortnum & Mason Dubai. Crafted by its celebrated Tea Masters, the Dubai Tea blend is a modern twist on Dubai’s traditional “chai nana”, combining the fresh flavour of peppermint leaves with crisp green tea and sweet aromatic rose petals – and perfectly reflecting Middle Eastern flavours.

The extensive deluxe food and drink offerings, beautiful setting and National Day treats make for a perfect celebration with loved ones.

A wide range of gifts are also on offer for UAE National Day; throughout its 308 year history, Fortnum & Mason has been synonymous with gifting. Perhaps the most renowned gifts are Fortnum’s Hampers, their signature treasure chests of delicious and delightful things. Fortnum & Mason boasts an impressive range of these highly desirable hampers, filled with specially selected delicious and luxurious goodies to guarantee a happy and successful occasion.

This week was awesome as I spent some quality time my awesome editor from MADAME magazine at the new 9,400 sq ft Fortnum and Mason store and café next to The Address Downtown Dubai. The iconic British brand opened its second store in Britain last year, after having a single outlet for nearly 307 years and now they have ventured into Dubai….so we in Dubai are extremely lucky to the brand right at our doorstep (I can say that now that I live in Downtown)

As expected, the store had its usual iconic hampers, teas and preserves but we also loved the stock of scented candles and soaps. The ground floor is more of a retail space, similar to the London stores’ food hall.

Upstairs, The Tea Salon is inspired by the Diamond Jubilee Tea Salon in Piccadilly and its here both me and Catherine became trendy models for the official photographer as we sampled the exotic Royal blend tea and enjoyed the beautiful views of the Dubai Fountain.

We decided to burn some calories from the delectable pastries by taking the stairs to the 3rd floor Ice Cream Parlour, which is touted to offer the finest ice cream in the world. This I have to try on my next visit and will strive to think of better ways to burn calories after I have my Fortnum & Mason indulgence with my little British diva next weekend.
