From The Ritz-Carlton to Anti:dote at the Fairmont, here are some of the best afternoon teas here in Singapore

What’s not to love about afternoon tea? If it were up to us, we’d quite rather be gorging on scones, savouries and pastries every day of the week. There’s nothing quite like whiling the afternoon away, peacefully sipping on a hot cup of tea whilst heartily indulging the palate – and these are the most decadent and sumptuous afternoon teas the city has to offer. And although the no-dining rule has just been rolled out, we still have our eyes fixed on these menus.

Anti:dote

Anti:dote is back with a new afternoon tea menu, Seasons of Impressionists Afternoon Tea, which is available until 1 May. Working with ARTiSTORY, the current menu reflects Van Gogh’s most notable artwork, Sunflowers. You will be seated in a picture-perfect setting, surrounded by sunflower ornaments, fresh sunflowers and a replica of the painting. Enjoy a special cocktail, Colourful Yellow, or a mocktail, Bulb Fields, as well as teas with distinct flavour profiles, such as Sweet Innocence and White Silk Tea. The treats, which come in a pristine white chest, are a mix of savoury and sweet . Highlights include the Sunflower Praline Pot, Blackcurrant Pate, Smoked Salmon Sandwich, and their signature raisin scones. You can further enhance your experience with two hours of free-flow tipples, with the option of Laurent Perrier Brut for S$75 or Mot & Chandon Rosé Impérial for S$90++ per guest.
