Chicago Fairies, How About a Festive Afternoon Tea

Having tried afternoon tea at The Peninsula, Langham, LondonHouse, and The Drake, I confidently recommend the Four Seasons’ holiday tea — their food and drink quality outshines the first three, and the atmosphere is more elegant than The Drake’s. Perfect for a magical girls’ day out! 📜 The Menu I loved almost every item — except the quiche florentine (made with spinach and goat cheese, not my personal favorite). Must‑try highlights: 🥯 Lox Bagel | 🥒 Cucumber Sandwich | 🥪 Croque Monsieur | 🦃 Turkey Crostini All are fresh, light, and beautifully balanced. Since Jonathon Sawyer (a James Beard Award‑winner) took over the hotel’s culinary direction, the food quality here has soared! 🍾 Drinks Each set includes a glass of Champagne (or sparkling apple cider for non‑drinkers) plus your choice from their rare cellar tea selection. I picked Sakura Cherry Blossom Tea — delicately floral, with a slight astringency that softened perfectly with a touch of honey. 🔄 Refills Are Welcome! Like most afternoon teas, you can request unlimited refills of both savory and sweet items. Taste everything once, then go back for your favorites!
