This is the one to go for if you’re more of a sweet-tooth than someone who likes savoury bites, for out of the 11 items served, only 3 are of the latter category. The rest are patisseries like traditional Stollen, Dark Chocolate Ganache Yule Log, and Chestnut Chocolate Tart.

Priced from $60/person, the Atlas Festive Afternoon Tea is a hand-made-to-order set of 6 savoury and 9 sweet items including Lobster Crostini, Foie Gras Parfait, and Santa’s Strawberry Custard Pie - all placed prettily on an exquisite gold tiered stand.

You’ll be spoiled for choice with their 21 tea selections, but we suggest going straight for the Orange Mulled Wine Tea - a limited-time Christmas special with a kick of spice, inspired by the traditional Christmas drink.

If you’ve ever attempted to book seats for Atlas’ afternoon tea in the past - even the regular version - you’ll know how highly sought after they are. Alas, all seats for this festive edition seem to have been reserved already, but hold up - it won’t hurt to call the restaurant and try to get your name on the waiting list. If anyone makes a cancellation, you might still stand a chance!
