I love high tea and I was super delighted to be able to try the Afternoon Tea at St Regis. I have to say I was impressed. The decor was lovely and luxurious, and you definitely can have a relaxing afternoon whether you're meeting with friends or just looking to chill alone. They have a scones bar! There were 5 different flavours but I tried the truffle scone and the original scone. The truffle scone was divine! You get a strong flavour of truffle and it borders on the sweet/savoury for me.

I love high tea and I was super delighted to be able to try the Afternoon Tea at St Regis. I have to say I was impressed. The decor was lovely and luxurious, and you definitely can have a relaxing afternoon whether you're meeting with friends or just looking to chill alone. They have a scones bar! There were 5 different flavours but I tried the truffle scone and the original scone. The truffle scone was divine! You get a strong flavour of truffle and it borders on the sweet/savoury for me. Ask for the truffle cream to go along with it, you won't regret!
The assortment of jams you get to choose to pair with your truffles. I like the apricot jam.
Their 3 tier made me drool when it arrived at the table. The bottom tier was your usual finger sandwiches, but it was the 2nd and top tier that made me excited. The second tier had quiche and pot pie! The quiche was light and delightful, not too heavy to make you gelat. I was told they change their pot pie fillings frequently, so the filling I had was beef and it was awesome! Breaking into that crispy puff pastry to dig into the pot of salty tender beef goodness...sigh The top tier had pea soup and a ham and egg kind of pudding. The pea soup is good! You'll be surprised because I was expecting some yucky pea liquid but it was warm and aromatic and damn good!
For the Afternoon Tea, you also get to hit the buffet of desserts! How awesome is that! You get a variety of cakes, tarts, macrons (must try), crumble, etc. Take as much as you can eat! Plus wash it down with the lovely TWG teas they have available. The afternoon will fly by real quick as you enjoy yourself there!
