Our selection of the best addresses to host an afternoon meeting over tea

Riaan Jacob George
Dubai's Best Afternoon Teas

In the glitzy city centre of Dubai, there is no dearth of lunching and dining options. The Middle Eastern business hub is also considered to be one of the world’s F&B capitals. Corporate travellers are always on the lookout for suitable spaces that lend themselves to meetings. Afternoon tea is, thus, a preferred choice for many professionals to host meetings in the quiet comfort of a hotel cafe, lounge or bar. Here are some of our favourite places in Dubai where you can negotiate a deal, or make a presentation as you sip on your favourite first flush.

LA FARINE CAFÉ & BAKERY 

JW Marriott Marquis Dubai 

This ultra-chic space boasts an upbeat vibe thanks to its pop-colour decor, but retains certain age-old teatime traditions like tiered sandwich platters, scones and pastries. Head over to La Farine for the aptly named "Salon de The Experience" where you start with a host of savouries like Truffled Egg Vol Au Vent, and the all-time favourite Coronation Chicken Brioche. Choose from a host of pastries ranging from financiers and eclairs to tartlets and cheesecakes, followed by a round of scones with cherry jam and lemon curd. A selection of gourmet teas from around the world is included.

Price: AED 140/ INR 2,600 per head.
