Best Restaurants for Afternoon Tea in Warehouse District

Did the Food And Wine Experience and it was really amazing. Great pairings. Nicole was tops.

Afternoon tea at the Ritz Carlton NOLA is always a treat. The Devonport Lounge is a very nice setting to enjoy this service, and a professional harpist provides a classy and subdued soundtrack. Our primary server was truly outstanding, but there seemed to be one in training who maybe struggled a bit with English and hadn't yet learned the ropes properly. The teas are wonderful, with a good selection and a teapot that probably serves 6-8 full cups of tea. While the scones were not warm, they were very good and of quality, perfectly paired with the house jam and lemon curd. The only issue I could highlight was that the tea seatings where quite far from the harpist, which made both hearing and seeing her play problematic. And since there is a thoroughfare from a hotel entrance to the lobby, we had experienced a lot of foot traffic which also detracted from our experience. We will, however, continue to do afternoon tea with the Ritz whenever we are in town.

Always a memorable expended great charm and elegance.

First time for tea and I can’t wait to go back! The scones and clotted cream were my favorite!
