Lobby Lounge at The Westin

Colonial District, the Quays & Marina Bay


The Westin's good-value seafood high tea is divided into three 'courses', with freshly shucked oysters and decadent lobster thermidor followed by bites like trio of sashimi and crab-salad sandwiches on pumpernickel with orange ginger mayonnaise. Your epilogue is a tray of sweet delights, from pistachio cherry cheesecake and truffle cupcakes to citrusy tarts and strawberries dipped in white chocolate and lemon.

Better still, upgrade your glass of French fizz to a bottle and spend a little longer soaking up that sea, skyline and Sentosa Island view. Book weekend sessions a fortnight in advance.
