Kallista Tea Rooms

Contemporary

Rare is the teahouse that mixes convention with creativity; that holds the classic line of loose-leaf tea and baked treats (dark fruit strudel, lemon tart) but also serves roasted thyme-flecked mushrooms, magnificent roasted veg salads plumped with buckwheat, Turkish bread with three dips including cashew-coriander-carrot, and plate-busting all-day breakfasts. No wonder Sunday lunch here is a best-to-book affair. The long red-walled room holds a congenial energy, with kids and couches at one end, and tables with a leafy, birdy view at the other. And staff work the room well, making sure the bustle never turns to bedlam.
