Afternoon Tea
There's nowhere better to savour a delicious traditional Afternoon Tea than The Montague, overlooking peaceful gardens in the heart of London or in our beautiful Leopard Bar.
Our Afternoon Tea includes a scrumptious selection of warmly baked plain and raisin scones, delicious cakes, and freshly hand-cut sandwiches including egg and mayo, smoked salmon, chicken, cucumber, and cream cheese. We ensure we pay proper respect to this special ritual while offering some intriguing variations on the original, with a delicious 'Prince & Princess' option for the little ones.
