"Seasons revived afternoon tea service under the watch of pastry chef AJ Thalakkat, who’s an expert on British tea pastries after working at the iconic Empress Hotel. A spread fit for Buckingham Palace includes dainty pastries served on a three-tiered tea stand with porcelain pots, a traditional Battenburg cake, scones, and petit fours. It’s tea time every Saturday from 11:30 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. ($105 with a glass of bubbles and $75 for kids 12 and under). Call ahead or reserve online." - Tierney Plumb, Emily Venezky

"You’ll find ex-pat Brits and devoted Anglophiles partaking in afternoon tea at the Four Seasons, and we love that this pastry-centered event is a proper tea service that makes you feel more like you’re in London than Georgetown. This is tea for formal, fancy occasions with a price tag to match ($55 for kids and $95 for adults), with bites inspired by the sweet and savory tastes of the British Royal Family. That means there’s seriously good Battenberg cake and plenty of scones, as well as Champagne and caviar. " - madeline weinfield
