Top Ten High Tea’s in Dubai

So nominating the best of the high teas in Dubai was an unrealistic task but I have eaten a lot of scones and cupcakes at some of the finest spots in Dubai, so this seems literally like a cakewalk to me, now that I am done. Adding to the elegance and extravagant here are some of my top choices for the Best Afternoon Experiences in Dubai:-

Sky View Bar, Burj Al Arab – Nobody can deny that having an Afternoon tea at Burj Al Arab is not just a leisurely thing but also something you would associate with prestige; their Sky View bar offers a phenomenal view of the Dubai Skyline with a three-course menu apart from the stunning savory and dessert stand. Consisting of a few obligatory Scones, Pastries and Mini sandwiches this Sky High High Tea is one of the most lavish and elegant afternoon tea places, with a view and some live entertainment.

Grosvenor House, Rhodes W1 – Want to see how the traditional British lot would like to have their afternoon tea? Head to the Michelin star restaurant of Gary Rhodes where the Classic British theme dishes and freshly baked scones would be an excellent start to your time here. The British Chef’s influence is pretty evident here and can be seen through most of the dishes especially the famous Coronation Chicken Sandwich. This place is a little extra special to me as the High Tea, unlike other restaurants, is served only on the weekend.
