What a day! This afternoon we were invited to the Four Seasons Hotel Los Angeles at Beverly Hills to enjoy afternoon tea in the Windows Lounge. Pinkies up, because this dining experience definitely made me feel like a queen.

Available every day between 12-5pm, this collaboration between the Four Seasons and world-renowned cultivator of fine food Bateel just launched and will be available through the end of summer.

Our waitress started us off with some dried fruit and pomegranate and date bubbly while we perused the menu options.

We ended up selecting the Bateel Luxury menu which features a rich Arabian twist on the historic tea experience, giving us an amazing taste of ma’amoul pastries, the cutest mini tea sandwiches, a gorgeous fruit salad, aromatic jams, and our choice of tea from a selection of 15 loos leaf rishi tea options.

Being at the Four Seasons is always an experience, especially if you’re visiting the one in Beverly Hills! With the way everyone treats you like royalty, you might as well be visiting a castle. Just look at this spread of savory and sweet goodies…

Among the varied selection of bites which included honey and date scones, baklava, grilled halloumi tea sandwiches, and hummus tea sandwiches, my two savory favorites were the curry chicken and lobster salad sandwich. From the sweets, the chocolate eclair and dark chocolate raspberry were hands down the winners.

Big thanks to the team at the Four Seasons for inviting us to give this seasonal menu a try!
