Beautifully decorated and posh, it’s understandable if you thought the high tea offerings from this Versailles-styled fine dining restaurant would be costly.

Fortunately, they offer a range of menus for every budget (prices range from $19 to $68 per pax).

Their 1837 tea time menu, at $19 per pax, is not too shabby, comprising your choice of either two freshly baked muffins or scones served with TWG Tea jelly and whipped cream, or a pâtisserie from their trolley, and either hot or iced tea which you can pick from their extensive tea list. Fancy.

Price: $19 per pax

Take a trip down memory lane with your buddies as you savour their High Tea set, which will cost $32 for two.

Served in an attractive three-tiered bird cage, their set includes sliders, mini tarts, a range of assorted cakes and a pot of tea where you can choose from six of their house blends — such as their berry-infused “Beauty” tea and oolong with chamomile “Slow Down & Relax” tea.

True to its name, high tea at Arteastiq is certainly an artistic affair. Housed in a photogenic two-tiered gold cage, their Signature High Tea set — which will cost you $48 for two — comes with an assortment of intriguing sweet and savoury treats, like a chocolate cone with banana custard and foie gras terrine on toast with yuzu marmalade and crushed pistachios.

Beverages — you get to pick two of their specialty teas — are equally fascinating. We recommend the Chocolate Truffle tea for the adventurous, or the Osmanthus Oolong tea for those who wish to refresh your palette.
