L'espresso

An excellent place for afternoon tea. Do not want to share too much or else it would be full house everyday and I cannot get a seat anymore.

Was there to support the Irelandfunds high tea initiative. Good place and been a long time since I last visited...pre Covid19! I love the scones and crème bulee...Rest are pretty standard. I love the Crispy duck and vegetables roll with mango Aioli from the Irish box selection..of sweets best tasting to me was Bailey's cheesecake. An afternoon we'll spent..chilling and for a good cause!

Aside from the heightened safety measures (window shopping for buffet items), the experience is pretty much the same as before the pandemic. Quite a good way to spend a lazy Saturday afternoon.

With a reputation as a choice destination for high tea, or British English afternoon tea, since the 1970s, L'Espresso in Goodwood Park Hotel is a cozy cafe by day, a chic lounge by night, and an overall relaxing and welcoming place. Positioned in the central space of the Goodwood Park Hotel lobby, L'Espresso is unmissable, whether for the neatly lined rows of comfortable furnishings, the buzzing crowd queuing or dining here, or for the attractive eye-catching display of dishes which look so appetizing. . Ambience at L'Espresso is relaxing and luxurious, with an elegant splendor. The large dining hall occupies most of the lobby, with wide lounge seats flanking low tables on the gleaming marble floor. A full-length glass panelled wall brings in ample natural light and a view of the landscaped gardens of the hotel, which flank the main pool. Though positioned as 'high tea', it's more accurately a buffet style, with the rows of dishes displayed attractively along the buffet line. . Service at L'Espresso is professional and attentive, with a discreet bearing. Crucially, staff are observant and proactive, clearing away empty plates throughout your meal, ensuring you always have table space for more. They demonstrate good product knowledge on the dishes and beverages, and are efficient at fulfilling requests. I feel they accord each guest personalised attention, and really make you feel welcome. The queue to be seated can be a little disorganised though. . Food at L'Espresso draws on British English high tea cuisine, as well as classic Modern Singaporean hawker favourites. Unlike other high tea elsewhere, they offer a buffet line, with an equally wide range of sweets and savouries, all decently executed and worth going for seconds (or more). As a buffet, portions are unlimited, though each serving is typically small and dainty in size, great for sampling. Still, it's difficult to eat everything available, as it's just too much. Prices are reasonable and great value, budget SGD $72 per person.
