We are staying at the Fairmont Hotel and we’re tempted by the pictures of the afternoon tea at the anti:dote. We decided to book after being approached by a member of staff who knew we were interested. We enjoyed it immensely; the staff were kind...enough to exchange all of the items containing fish as I do not eat fish at all. We were seated promptly on our arrival, the ‘tea chest’ arrived really quickly and it was delightful. The savoury treats were varied and just small enough not to feel over-faced. The scones were light and the jam was tasty. The sweets were divine - it was really hard to choose a favourite. Service was unobtrusive but efficient and we would highly recommend. The only thing that I would like to see would be white linen on the tables and pastry forks for the cakes.More

Good menu for the hi-tea and a fantastic service by Franz. They use TWG tea selection, which we absolutely loved. The hi-tea theme changes every month which makes us want to come back again soon.

Spent the festive weekend at the Swissotel, which itself was great. We intended to only have our “departure drinks” at Anti:Dote. Yet, Mr Hong Yun (Otherwise known to his regulars at HY) took such great care of me and my guest, that we ended up...spending the afternoon there. HY took the effort to get us a table during the mad-rush lunch hours. He patiently explained the drinks available to us, and due to his enthusiasm and hospitality, we stayed to drink and dine all afternoon long! This is a place, I would return to, in the very near future…More
