Best High Tea in KL
Nothing else quite says fancy or luxury than an afternoon spent eating miniature treats piled up on tiered trays just to finish it off with a pot of tea.
Previously a British tradition for the wealthy to spend their time between lunch and dinner, high tea has become a more accessible dining experience for everyone to enjoy.
Although many of the high tea sets offered in KL can cost up to RM150 & above, Teh Talk have just the guide for you to indulge in the best high tea in KL for under RM100!
1. The Lobby Lounge, The Ritz-Carlton
Starting this list off with somewhere fancy, The Lobby Lounge at The Ritz-Carlton offers all the opulence of a quintessential high tea package but at a reasonable cost.
Enjoy freshly baked scones, pies, quiches, finger sandwiches & handcrafted desserts among the plushness & grandeur setting of The Ritz-Carlton.
But the winning point of this high tea package is the assortment of unique tea blends they have on offer. With over 40 tea blends to choose from, you can taste blends from China, Japan or South Africa for only RM25 a pot.

4. Delectable by Su
If you’re bored of the hoity-toity three-tiered stands that are the face of high teas, why not go for something a little different? Perhaps a high tea set served in a glasshouse, or on a wooden tray!
Intrigued? You should be!
Delectable by Su puts their own twist on high tea by serving mini burgers, edible terrariums & cookies instead of typical pastries and cakes.
Funnily enough or maybe an intentional pun, Delectable by Su is located in a building named Glasshouse at Seputeh.
So go on, fulfil your hipster’s take on afternoon high tea dreams by eating treats out of a glasshouse in a glasshouse!

5. Carcosa Seri Negara
What better way to fully embrace this British tradition by doing it in a proper colonial building from old Malaya times (pre-Independence)?
Colonization doesn’t seem too bad after all, hey?
Unlike our grandparents & great grandparents who had no choice but to follow the English ways, Carcosa Seri Negara gives a choice between an English Afternoon Tea set or a Malay Tea Set. The choice is yours, my friend to be a white man’s puppet or to make your ancestors proud…
Jokes aside, Carcosa Seri Negara served as a hotel for British occupants during the Colonial period. So enjoy delicacies such as English scones, Salmon Croissants and of course a delicious steaming pot of tea.
Or for more localized taste buds, munch on local kuihs & mini snacks while still surrounded by vintage & classic British architecture.

Address: Carcosa Seri Negara, Taman Tasik Perdana, Persiaran Mahameru, 50480, Kuala Lumpur, Kuala Lumpur
Opening hours: Monday – Sunday: 3pm – 6pm
