What are the Best Luxurious Afternoon Tea in Dubai?

Discover the sumptuous wonders of Bijou Patisserie, located in the lobby of Sofitel Dubai The Obelisk. 'Le Goûter' is a French twist on Afternoon Tea, served in a sophisticated vault. Known for serving the best afternoon teas in Dubai, Bijou offers a true French experience, immersing guests in the world of teas and French patisserie, freshly prepared every day by our famous Chef Romain.

Bijou Patisserie's afternoon tea, named 'Le Goûter', is a remarkable fusion of flavors presented in a unique jewelry box. Beyond patisserie, we offer breakfast delicacies, takeaway options including our signature cannelés Bordelais, and an exclusive aperitif menu with bespoke cocktails and artisan wines. The quiet, authentically French ambiance of Bijou invites you to enjoy a complete experience.

The setting might appear less opulent than other venues in Dubai, with a café-style space, floor-to-ceiling windows, and light furnishings. However, this is part of its charm. The afternoon tea offering reflects this freshness and modernity. Bijou is ideal for couples, friends, and families, providing excellent service, enjoyable hot drinks, and some of the finest cakes in Dubai.

His sweet creations extend beyond regular afternoon tea staples, including raspberry and tarragon, and pistachio and yuzu flower tarts. For savory lovers, the truffle egg mayonnaise sandwich is a must-try.

The setting for afternoon tea is luxurious and refined. The array of small, colorful, and well-presented finger sandwiches complements the sumptuous sweets. Traditional scones served with seasonal fruit preserves, alongside exquisite tea selections like the flavorful Ceylon tea, conclude this delightful afternoon indulgence.
