It's expensive, but reasonable compared with what you'd pay in a Michelin starrred place in the UK....

I did not really rate the afternoon tea at the Burj ... we had to ask for more scones and more tea .. they were really stingy with things. If you want to see the inside of the Burj and enjoy the views then it is okay. It is a nice thing to do when you have friends and family in town. I go for afternoon tea at Al Qasr quite a bit in the winter months. You can sit outside and enjoy beautiful views of the Burj etc. One of the best afternoon teas is the The Ritz Carlton. |

Yes, the one at Al Qasr is much better.

One of my fave places in the UK for tea is the Thatched Cottage in Fordingbridge, New Forest... Totally eclectic. Worth a visit. Pretty little town, too.... perfect for a Sunday stroll. |
