On a day that I decided to visit Ritz Carlton Café 103, specifically seeking to try their Matcha Afternoon Tea, unfortunately upon our arrival we were informed that the afternoon tea session for the day was coming to a close (I should have done my homework on finding out the operating hours...!). We were suggested to try the English Afternoon Tea one floor down instead, which was been served for an additional hour or so at The Lounge & Bar.

Having visited The Lounge & Bar several times before for lunches and drinks, I am quite familiar with the high-rise sea-view showcase as well as the ambience full of energy that never disappoints.
The English Afternoon Tea (set for two) was presented as 3-tier modern, contemporary. Savories and finger sandwiches placed at the top, with macarons and sweets in the middle tier, whilst the traditionally main attraction scones were found at the bottom. In terms of tea, Ritz has partnered with TWG, and there was a decent number of choices.
I would say, a picture speaks louder than words, so you can make your own visual judgment. Savory section was my favourite out of these three tiers, whilst I found the scones, served with cream butter and jam, a bit dry. Unfortunately, the Macarons and Canele also did not appeal, as I found both to be “soggy”.
Despite the lacklustre items from the afternoon tea set menu, it was overall still a rather enjoyable afternoon session. If you are looking to relax and lay-back in a luxurious 5-star environment, overlooking a tremendous view, and to be attended to by professional service, then Ritz is a safe choice. However, if you have high demand on the quality of tea and snack items, then I suggest for you to save your breath for your next trip to London!
