Thematic Afternoon Tea

New Orleans Afternoon Tea

Experience the sweet Southern charm and rich flavours of America’s iconic culinary staples, as the thematic Afternoon Tea takes a jaunt to the city of New Orleans, a cultural melting pot home to some of America’s most distinctive cuisine. Exclusively from 1 September to 30 November 2021, feast on traditional savoury fare and sweet treats born out of Louisiana’s Cajun, Creole and French influences.

Tuck into New Orleans’ traditional savoury delights including the quintessential New Orleans Muffaletta Sandwich, a famously hearty New Orleans invention packed with cured meats, provolone cheese, and olive dressing between fresh Italian bread; and the Omni Reuben, a New Orleans-style take on the classic Reuben sandwich with corned beef, roasted beets, swiss cheese, cabbage and toasty, grilled rye bread.

Heighten your teatime indulgence with a unique assortment of delightful, classic New Orleans desserts, such as New Orleans Beignets, a doughy yet crispy pillow of deep-fried fried choux pastry sprinkled with powdered sugar; melt-in-your-mouth Pecan Pralines, a sweet and crumbly candy loaded with toasted pecans; and Chocolate Bread Pudding, a delectable transformation of dried bread into a flavourful chocolatey custard.

All thematic afternoon tea reservations have to be made and indicated at least one day in advance.
