It’s Afternoon Tea Week! If a good ol’ chat session over a warm, soothing drink with a light dessert is your cup of tea, you’ve come to the right place. Elevate your usual merienda with these brew-tea-ful tea and pastry sets around Araneta City:

Le Bistro, ibis Styles Manila Araneta City (Level 5, Gateway Mall 2)

Grab your best friend, your lover, or even your mother for a High Tea Party For Two at Le Bistro for only PHP 999 nett! 

Transport yourself to the City of Love by availing the High SocieTEA set for a traditional Parisian spread. Coffee Eclairs, Fruit Tarts, Maritozzi, and Finger Sandwiches with a steamy, cozy pot of tea? Oui, s’il vous plaît!

Or perhaps you’d like an Asian twist to your afternoon tea? Give the Siam High set a try! Accompanying your pot of tea are these delightful Thai goodies: Coconut Gelato, Frozen Coconut Gelato Ball, Banana Coconut Macaron, Jackfruit Tiramisu, and a Maritozzo with Mango Mousse.

Sticky Sweet, World Kitchens (Level 4, Gateway Mall 2)

Feel like royalty with the Queens Tea Set at Sticky Sweet! A pot of classic, brewed tea, accompanied by some sweet (but not too sweet—the ultimate compliment for an Asian dessert!) mochi, surely makes for a deluxe afternoon tea experience.
