Be it a fancy three-tier stand of desserts, or an all-you-can-eat afternoon tea buffet, there are endless options when it comes to an afternoon tea in Singapore.

Gather your girlfriends, get dressed, click your heels, and be on your way.

From the artistic tea lounge Arteastiq to a chichi session at The Landing Point at Fullerton Bay Hotel, read our Guide to Singapore’s Best Afternoon Tea to find out where you can enjoy a hearty afternoon tea with bang for your buck.

ANTI:DOTE

Possibly the most commonly photographed afternoon tea set, Anti:Dote at Fairmont Singapore has won over members of the high society with its irresistible artisanal gourmet.

Unlike the typical buffet spreads and floral tiered cake stands, dainty treats are actually presented above and inside a jewelry drawer chest.

Start your afternoon tea with black truffle scrambled eggs or steamed Hong Kong dim sum, before digging into the succulent lobster rolls, mini cheesecakes and addictive butter cookies etc.

Price: S$15++ per child, from S$48++ per adult

ARTEASTIQ

An afternoon tea at Arteastiq is a great way to combat fatigue after a long day. Conveniently located in the heart of Orchard Road, Arteastiq’s elegant interiors will definitely win over any lady’s heart.

An afternoon tea set for two includes two specialty teas and a two-tier stand of light sweets and savouries. We love their refreshing iced fruit teas, particularly Pomelo Tea and Lychee Tea that would be served in pretty clear glass teapots. Sip away in style or get your hands dirty at their in-house painting room. At an additional cost (from S$28 onwards), you can unleash the budding artist in you and take home your painted canvas.

An oasis of calmness in the middle of Singapore’s Central Business District. The Lobby Lounge at The Westin Singapore never fails to make us feel relaxed upon stepping in.

The Westin Singapore has just launched one of the bests – if not the best – afternoon tea sets in Singapore. Highlights of the Seafood & Champagne Afternoon Tea include a whole Poached Canadian Lobster, two freshly shucked oysters, Lobster Rolls, Soft Shell Crab, Éclairs, Chocolate Ganache Cake, Tarts, as well as two glasses of Veuve Clicquot Champagne. It is well-priced at S$85++ for two – which is a real steal for the sheer quality that you will be getting.

While the idea of a typical English afternoon tea with freshly baked scones, finger sandwiches and tea is always appealing, we have to say that the new afternoon tea set by the Lobby Lounge at The Westin Singapore is in a league of its own.

The two-course Afternoon Tea set includes a WHOLE Poached Canadian Lobster and two freshly shucked oysters served with a choice of three sauces.

There is also a beautiful three-tier platter which contains many savoury delights such as Lobster Rolls, Tuna Fried Beancurd (Tau Pok), Soft Shell Crab with Avocado Salsa and Salmon Tartare with Pine Nuts, Horseradish and Pickles. Oh, there is also the Spicy Prawn, Mango and Pomelo Fresh Roll. And that’s just the savoury part.

No afternoon tea is complete without some sweets. And sweets you shall have. Look forward to an array of petite desserts which includes Éclairs, Chocolate Ganache Cake, Key Lime Tarts, Mixed Berries Tarts, and fresh Strawberries coated with Chocolate and Pistachio Chocolate.

The Seafood and Champagne Afternoon Tea is S$85++ for two persons; holy, that’s inclusive of two glasses of Veuve Clicquot Brut Yellow Label for you both! It is available daily, from 2.30pm – 5pm at the Lobby Lounge, Level 32 of The Westin Singapore.

If you love champagne (who doesn’t?), top up an additional amount of S$45 for a bottle of Veuve Clicquot Brut Yellow Label and pay S$130++ for two persons. In case you are wondering, the price is inclusive a bottle of Veuve Clicquot Brut Yellow Label and afternoon tea for two persons. Yipe, you are welcome.
