Award Winning Afternoon Tea in Brighton

Please note, leading restaurant guides issue awards to restaurants based on dining from a full menu and will not normally consider afternoon tea when deciding how highly to rate a restaurant. Therefore the above restaurants are not ranked, although it's a safe bet that any restaurant serving award winning food in Brighton is also likely to provide some of the best afternoon tea in Brighton! Please also note that for the restaurants listed above, afternoon tea may be offered within the parent hotel/venue the restaurant resides in, rather than in the restaurant itself.

Brighton, a vibrant seaside city nestled on the south coast of England, is not only renowned for its historic pier and bustling lanes but also as a delightful destination for afternoon tea enthusiasts. The city's eclectic mix of traditional and modern tea rooms offers something for every palate, whether you prefer a classic scone with clotted cream and jam or a more contemporary twist with fusion flavours. Nestled charmingly by the coast, many of Brighton's venues allow visitors to pair their afternoon tea with both the comforting sights of the sea and the charm of the city streets. Among the most notable venues is The Grand Brighton, a splendid Victorian-era hotel that has long been synonymous with indulgence. Its afternoon tea is served in the grandeur of its opulent lounge, offering tiered trays filled with finger sandwiches, homemade cakes, and scones. For those seeking a more whimsical experience, Metrodeco, a quirky 1930's Parisian-inspired tea room in the Kemptown area, brings a unique touch with its themed teas and decadent teas paired with exotic loose leaf blends. While in Brighton, a true afternoon tea lover is spoilt for choice, with everything from the most luxurious tearooms to intimate hidden gems tucked away in the Lanes.
