The 5-star hotel, Cinnamon Lakeside, has several restaurants to choose from, with a variety of cuisines. But one little known service here is that of high tea. They serve up tea, with a bit of time-travel! Think tiered, gleaming stands filled with colourful pastries, delectable snacks, macaroons, and more. Wash it all down with cup of steaming tea. High tea at the Cinnamon Lakeside Hotel is an experience that takes you back to the Victorian Era. And in sync with that forgotten time, high tea here is about decadence and indulgence.

You enjoy the treat as you look over the still waters of the Beira Lake. The delicious food, the impeccable service, the soothing smell of a fresh brew wafting through the air, together with a fantastic view makes this an unforgettable experience.
