More infoIf tea at the Empress is the chandeliered headliner, the Pendray is its quieter, candlelit cousin: a Victorian tea house in an 1890s mansion, five minutes from the Inner Harbour, with an indoor fireplace doing all the ambiance work. Expect delicate china, classical music, and a tiered stand of scones and clotted cream. Book ahead, dress up one notch, and plan to linger.
Book the seating in advance and ask for a table near the fireplace, not the window. Work the tiered stand bottom to top, save the scones, clotted cream and that little pot of jam for last, and order a pot you've never tried so you've got something to debate. Give it the full two hours, classical music and all, then walk it off with a slow loop of the Inner Harbour five minutes away.
