La Farine

The lime green seats that punctuate the dark decor give the area a playful yet smart feel. A cup of zingy berries is brought along to start, followed by a three-tiered selection of sandwiches and cakes. Classics such as cucumber and cream cheese sandwiches are given a modern twist – the bread being fully wrapped in a thin slice of cucumber. Service is efficient and tea is unlimited, so waiters come around when you’re running low to ask if you’d like another. It retains the classics of a traditional afternoon tea, but adds a great modern twist. And when you consider the amount you get at this afternoon tea, it’s certainly value for money, although more for the sweet-toothed.
