Edinburgh is the city of hidden gems. Really hidden, and in plain sight. How many times have I gone down Frederick Street and completely overlooked the Alice in Wonderland tea room up a short, tucked away flight of steps? Once in on the secret, I simply had to sip tea with lady friends in this curious café.

With topsy turvy tables and tea that is divine, Curious Tea Rooms will be the place I dip into whenever I need a whiff of Wonderland.

P.S. little steps towards believing in magic.
