No trip to Singapore could be complete without a trip to Raffles - a real slice of colonial England right in the heart of Asia. We went to the Tiffin Room for tea and it really was an experience we'll always remember. It's a throwback to a more genteel era - and one which we'd probably do well to go... More

We had high tea with family while visiting Singapore and always love having high tea. This was class all the way, the was very good and tea enjoyable. The special champers is nice but not cheap, then again this is not your every day high tea so go for it. The entry is a little weird but all in all,... More

High Tea at the Raffles is a unique experience, probably just a once-only but still a lovely room with pleasant staff and some nice but not wonderful food. You need to book months ahead and then queue in the heat outside with all the other punters, not so salubrious. Visitors were kept separated from hotel guests which was belittling but... More

the atmosphere and ambiance is really great, set in the 100+ years old colonial building. The afternoon tea itself was fairly average. Sandwiches made with white sliced bread, the cakes were nice but neither pretty or interesting. The tea was served in tiny pots and if you don't like the strength served then you have to ask for a tea... More

I had read many reviews about the Tiffin Room, but never paid any heed to them since wasn't too keen on Indian cuisine. Made reservations for a special evening with the wife. We made dinner reservations about 3 days prior to the appointed evening and was pleased to receive timely and courteous responses from the staff confirming my reservation. They... More

We had High Tea here as a treat. It is not cheap but that is the case everywhere you go these days. Raffles has a very special something about it. The high ceilings, the white walls, the echoes of a colonial era long gone transport you to a more genteel era. In the more than 30 years since I first... More

Alright so it's full of Japanese tourists..it's clean and crisp and colonial..the food is designed for the British palate..the waiters are smart and starched..but where on earth is there a better tea to be had anywhere

We had High Tea here and it was beautiful, the scones are to die for, the sandwiches are delicious and the cakes are yummy. The staff were awesome and were always coming round to make sure we had enough to eat and drink, if you have a spare hour or so in Singapore give this a go.

Although the choice of cakes was less than last time I visited High Tea in the Tiffin Room at Raffles Hotel is still good value. Add a glass of Champagne to make it even more special. Staff are very attentive and frequent top ups of tea / coffee and food is provided. Setting is beautiful and the Harp music adds... More

Whether its high tea in the afternoon, or a delicious curry dish in the evenings, this is the place to go.
