Make Your Tea Time 10x Fancier With This List Of High Tea Places In Chennai
The English Tearoom
The Brew Room
If you’re looking to host a fancy high tea party, The Brew Room can do it for you. You can curate the menu by choosing tea and coffee of your choice along with scones, tea cakes, and fresh vegetarian and non-vegetarian sandwiches. Make sure you book the space two days in advance.
Flower Power Tea Room
Exuding British elegance with pretty pastel decor and delicate porcelain tea ware, Flower Power Tea Room offers a great high tea experience. With options for both solo visitors as well for 1+1’s, you can indulge in a scrumptious spread comprising sandwiches, scones with blotted cream and strawberry jam, mini cupcakes and cheesecakes along with tea of your choice. Make sure to book a table before heading there.
Lobby Lounge
Leela Palace’s Lobby Lounge offers its own interpretation of a high tea menu (and we love it). Spread across English Hi-Tea, Indian Hi-Tea and Champagne Hi-Tea (comes with 2 glasses of house champagne along with tea, coffee, and typical English Hi-Tea accompaniments), you can choose what suits your palate the best. We personally loved the Indian Hi-Tea Menu that comes with sweets and savouries like Karachi halwa, samosa, paneer puff, rolls, and sandesh.
Tea Lounge
With a sumptuous Champagne High Tea menu, Taj Coramandel’s Tea Lounge hosts a drool-worthy spread that includes hors d'oeuvres, scones, macaroons, teacakes, petit fours and a selection of Chennai’s street fare.
