For a sweet and satisfying weekend afternoon, Millennium Seoul Hilton’s delicatessen Cilantro Deli offers an afternoon tea set, under the presence of its pastry chef.

On Saturdays and Sundays, 2:30 to 6 p.m., guests can enjoy some afternoon tea, including sandwiches, boutique cakes and fruit tarts, accompanied by coffee, tea or juice of choice.

While the menu may seem ordinary, the delicatessen added a fun twist to it, by having the pastry chef prepare the foods next to the guests’ tables. The chef will plate the foods on the sides of the tables. The hotel expects the live plating to bring joy to diners as it is an “edible work of art.”

The afternoon tea is priced at 40,000 won per person. For reservations, call Cilantro Deli at (02) 317-3064.
