9 Best Places for High Tea in Singapore to Elevate Your Breaks [2024]

Life before the Covid-19 pandemic seems to be coming back to us slowly but surely. While the shift has meant ease of restrictions, it has also come with a growing movement back to the office for most of us.

Among other things, this probably also means a clearer delineation between workdays and weekends. With what little time you’re given to celebrate being off work, it’s time to maximize the pleasure you can get during these precious moments.

What better way to heighten your mini-holidays than with the best places for high tea in Singapore?

1. Royal Palm Meat & Dine

This high tea restaurant uniquely offers a fully halal menu, with dishes that integrate flavours from across Southeast Asia and the Middle East.

Check them out to enjoy unique tastes while basking in the relaxing ambience of the surrounding tourist-worthy areas.

With their one-for-one high tea deals, here you can get the elevated experience of classy dining without having to burn a hole in your pocket.

2. The Oatberry Café

Oftentimes, people with dietary restrictions tend to have a hard time being able to balance their needs and the ability to have exciting food experiences by virtue of there being few sufficiently inclusive options.

At this high tea cafe, this conflict gets resolved with their wide array of vegan options that also include gluten-free and allium-free dishes. Dine here to get a taste of fancy dining without having to worry about allergies!

3. ATLAS

This high tea restaurant is a must-visit for its uniquely posh setting, among other things. With its high tea menu that offers European style dishes that are both sweet and savoury, this place is perfect for a short getaway that will transport you to an Orient-Express type experience.

With their vegetarian and gluten-free menu, you needn’t worry about being unable to find something for everyone.

4. Colony

Most of us have probably learnt quite a bit about colonization from our time in school. Beyond the academic discourse though, the whole notion of the colonial experience seems to be hard to picture outside of a vague and abstract sense.

At this high tea eatery, you can enhance your understanding of what the period might have been like through their highly immersive experience that involves colonial flavours as well as ‘live’ food stations!

5. JUMBO Seafood

This restaurant should be a place you aim to pay a visit to just for its award-winning chilli crab that calls out to any true blue Singaporean.

Dining well is amazing. Doing so to support a worthy cause is even more satisfying. At this high tea restaurant, you can be part of a much-needed solution by attending their annual Purple Afternoon Tea to contribute funds for programs that empower women.

Get a satisfied stomach with their traditional three-tier English high tea while also having a full heart from knowing that your expenditure will be put to good use.
