Afternoon Tea at Jean-Georges restaurant in London puts a playful, contemporary twist on this time-honoured British tradition. Allow us to whisk you away on a sensational journey through taste and texture in the heart of London city centre – with a few unexpected surprises along the way.

Jean-Georges at The Connaught sets a bright and lively scene for an Afternoon Tea with a twist. The experience begins the moment you step into this stylish neighbourhood restaurant in Mayfair. Curated art from Louise Bourgeois adorns the walls and floor to ceiling windows, with their stained-glass accents by Jean-Michel Othoniel, give you the perfect vantage point to watch the world of Mayfair go by. Then, it’s time to open the menu – its playful illustrations by Jean Jullien hinting at the bold flavours and witty surprises soon to unfold…

Begin your taste adventure as you discover a selection of exotic teas – or, a glass of champagne, if you want to add some sparkle to the afternoon. Then it’s on to the finger sandwiches, where classic British combinations meet Jean-Georges’ passion for bold South East-Asian flavours. Think cucumber with a hint of mint, oak smoked salmon, and turkey and tandoori yoghurt in Mediterranean bread, all home-made daily.

For a touch of tradition, their cakes are accompanied by English scones prepared to a time-honoured recipe. These are served warm from the oven, ready for spreading with Cornish clotted cream and homemade strawberry jam.

Few sounds are more reminiscent than freshly-brewed tea being poured into a china cup. But what are you in the mood for? Keep things traditional with fragrant black teas such as Earl Grey, Darjeeling and Assam. Or explore their artisan green teas from small plantations in Japan and China, such as fuji-yama, jasmine pearls and the subtle vanilla tones of Thé à l’Opéra. And if you like your tea soothingly theine-free, there is fresh mint, chamomile, canorino or mild, flowery rooibos red to enjoy.

Celebrating our 24th wedding anniversary at Jean-Georges at The Connaught in Mayfair was truly a memorable experience. My wife and I decided to mark this special occasion with their Afternoon Tea, and from the moment we arrived, everything felt elegant, welcoming and carefully curated. The restaurant itself offers a stylish yet relaxed atmosphere, with beautiful contemporary design, floor-to-ceiling windows and an energetic Mayfair ambience that perfectly balances luxury with comfort. The Afternoon Tea experience here gives a creative twist to a classic British tradition, combining traditional elements such as warm scones with clotted cream and delicate finger sandwiches, alongside more modern flavours inspired by Jean-Georges’ signature style. What truly made our visit special was the exceptional service. Almost the entire team congratulated us on our anniversary, and we felt genuinely cared for throughout the afternoon. A very special mention goes to Adviola, who was attentive to every detail and made sure we were comfortable at all times. We would also like to thank Chef Ramíro and the kitchen team for their thoughtful hospitality and the outstanding quality of the food. The Afternoon Tea itself is an experience worth enjoying... not only for the quality and variety of the dishes, but also for the creativity and presentation that elevate it beyond the traditional. The setting is refined yet lively, and the overall service adds a personal touch that makes a celebration feel even more meaningful. For anyone looking for a sophisticated Afternoon Tea in London, especially for a special occasion, Jean-Georges at The Connaught is a fantastic choice. A beautiful atmosphere, generous selection, and truly fantastic service made our anniversary unforgettable.

One of my favorite hotels in London so decided to try their afternoon tea 🫖 I think it would be better if it was daytime but I booked the 16:30 one so it was already dark outside. The sandwiches were okay but nothing extraordinary, except the egg and truffle one and the one with the turkey which were delicious ! I had the Lemongrass & Ginger tea because I was sick and it seemed like the healthiest option and it was okay just arrived a bit cold. The service was super slow and they took their time preparing every thing. The staff was very kind though and there was live music a harp playing which was nice but it stopped often so they was silence. They gave us a small sugar pastry in between which was nothing remarkable and it seemed pointless. Then it was time for the desserts which were very nicely presented and there was a wide variety. I was glad that everyone got their own dessert tower and they took very good care of gluten free people. The scones were the best ! So warm and soft and fresh and the strawberry jam wow ! Best one I’ve had ! The clotted cream was a bit too hard and thick not easy to spread. From the desserts I absolutely loved the Blood Orange Cheesecake ! But the rest were not my taste, I’m not a chocolate person and they were too dark and bitter for my taste, also don’t like lime stuff. It is unlimited refill so I suggest you go with an empty stomach and really hungry. They don’t give you bags to take home though 💔 The price is also alright for this. No hard feelings it was a good afternoon tea but I’ve been to many so I am very strict with my reviews and like to give advice on what to change to become better 🎀

Jean-Georges at The Connaught is a refined yet surprisingly relaxed dining room — elegant without the stiffness you sometimes find in Mayfair. The large windows overlooking Mount Street give the space a beautiful energy during the day, especially at lunch. The menu blends French technique with Asian influences; try the crispy salmon sushi or the black truffle pizza if you want something playful but perfectly executed. The ingredients are fresh, the flavors balanced, and presentation thoughtful without being overdesigned. Service is polished and professional, though at times a bit distant — efficient rather than warm. It’s worth mentioning that the atmosphere can get quite lively in the evening, so for a calmer experience, a weekday lunch or early dinner is ideal. Tip: ask for a table by the window if available, and don’t skip dessert — the warm chocolate cake is one of the best in London. Jean-Georges is where you go not just to eat well, but to feel quietly indulged.

My friend and I went out for her birthday dinner, and the experience was 10/10. The food and the ambience were amazing. Shoutout to the staff and for the lovely waitress Carolina who made the service and evening unforgettable.

Dinner at Jean Georges at The Connaught looks great and the service is polished but the food landed in the “good, not special” zone for me. The best thing I had was a small complimentary soup from the chef genuinely excellent, and I wish it were on the menu. Nice room, worth a try if you’re nearby.
