1 AFTERNOON TEA MENU SERVED DAILY FROM 2PM UNTIL 6PM The very English custom of taking afternoon tea is thought to found its roots in the 19 th century by Lady Anna, the seventh Duchess of Bedford. Lunch in those days were rather early and dinner was not served until late in the evening. Every afternoon, the Duchess found that she was slightly famished and started asking to enjoy a pot of tea with some light refreshments. She began inviting her friends to join her and very soon, having the tea in the middle of the afternoon became a fashionable thing to do. Here at the Lobby Lounge, in the Ritz Carlton Dubai, we are taking the afternoon tea to a whole new level, tailor made to each individual for a true memorable and ultimate experience.
