Brighten up your socials with a tête-à-tête in this elegant setting. The Rose Veranda has been an institution for high tea since 1991 and this latest take will keep you coming back time and time again.
Begin your afternoon tea experience with a platter of savoury petite bites and artisanal sandwiches, along with a choice of four main courses served tableside.
While away the rest of the afternoon sipping on a fine tea blend and scoffing an endless selection of handcrafted cakes from the free-flow dessert bar. There’s everything from sliced cakes and delicate tea cakes, to classic pound cakes. (And we hear that the Rocher almond dulcey glaze is worth saving space for!)
The high tea experience starts from $68 per person, including a pot of signature tea, and is available from Friday to Sunday, 12pm to 5pm. You can also choose to skip the savouries and head straight for the dessert bar for $38, including a pot of tea.

La Dame de Pic for a lunch at Raffles
This elegant restaurant at Raffles marks the Asian debut of three-Michelin-starred chef Anne-Sophie Pic. The contemporary-chic restaurant features a soft, graceful palette that’s reminiscent of Anne-Sophie’s favourite colours and materials – think pastel shades and natural elements like leather and wood.
At La Dame, the combinations of flavours and powerful tastes are intended to evoke the emotions. The iconic Berlingots, for example, is a signature creation of pyramid shaped pasta parcels inspired by the chef’s favourite childhood sweet of the same name, while the White Millefeuille is an inventive monochromatic dessert that’s presented as a seamless white cube. You can enhance your ladies’ lunch dining experience with a tailored wine and sake pairing or curated non-alcoholic beverage selection of teas, kombuchas and infusions.
