Experience

The Raffles Afternoon Tea Experience

The refined ritual of Afternoon Tea began, like Raffles Singapore, in the 19th century. Once a British aristocratic tradition, it travelled to Asia during the Golden Age of Travel and remains cherished today. Savour delicate finger sandwiches, home-baked scones, exquisite cakes and seasonal treats, elegantly served on a silver stand with curated teas and champagnes.
