A Timeless Tradition with a Modern Twist

Afternoon Tea has long been a hallmark of sophistication, and here at the Kempinski, it’s elevated into something truly extraordinary. Served in the refined Kempinski Bar & Lobby, this experience marries the comfort of tradition with the flair of innovation. It’s the perfect treat for our guests—whether you’re a weary traveller seeking respite or a local craving a touch of indulgence amidst the stunning St. Moritz scenery.

From the moment you settle into a plush armchair, the attentive staff make you feel like royalty. A tiered stand arrives, brimming with culinary treasures, and the aroma of freshly brewed tea fills the air. This isn’t just a meal; it’s a story of flavours, textures, and moments to savour.

 

Savoury Bites: A Feast for the Senses

The savoury selection is where the Kempinski’s creativity shines, offering a delightful array of bites crafted with the finest local and seasonal ingredients.

• Profiterole with Foie Gras Mousse, Apricot, and Affila: Imagine a delicate choux pastry, light as a cloud, cradling a rich, velvety foie gras mousse. The sweetness of apricot dances with the peppery freshness of affila cress, creating a bite that’s pure decadence.
• Tartelette with Lobster Tartar, Celery Stalks, Blood Orange, and Coriander Mayonnaise: A crisp tartlet shell holds a refreshing lobster tartar, its subtle sweetness enhanced by crunchy celery and a burst of tangy blood orange. A dollop of zesty coriander mayonnaise ties it all together—a symphony of sophistication in every mouthful.
• Brioche with Grilled Zucchini, Pomegranate Seeds, Fried Basil, and Tofu: For our vegetarian guests, this is a revelation. The smoky grilled zucchini meets the juicy pop of pomegranate seeds, while crispy fried basil adds a playful crunch. Creamy tofu rounds it off, proving that luxury knows no bounds.

 

 

Sweet Delights: A Sugary Journey

The sweet offerings are nothing short of enchanting, each treat a miniature masterpiece designed to captivate.

• Coconut Mousse with Coconut, Pineapple, and Lime: This airy mousse whisks you away to a tropical paradise. The creamy coconut melds with juicy pineapple, and a hint of lime adds a refreshing zing—perfect for brightening your afternoon.
• Chocolate Tartelet with Dark Chocolate, Raspberry, and Caramel: A chocoholic’s dream, this rich dark chocolate filling sits atop a crisp base, paired with tart raspberry coulis and a drizzle of golden caramel. It’s indulgence you’ll want to linger over.
• Almond Financier with Almond, Apricot, and Verbena: Delicate and fragrant, this nutty almond cake is sweetened with apricot and kissed with the subtle herbal notes of verbena. It’s elegance in every bite.
• Lavender Madeleine with Lavender, Honey, and Lemon: A twist on a classic, these buttery madeleines are infused with floral lavender, sweetened with honey, and lifted by a touch of lemon. They’re a soft, comforting hug in pastry form.
   

Scones: The Heart of the Experience

No Afternoon Tea would be complete without scones, and ours are baked fresh daily, served warm to melt in your mouth. Accompanied by classic toppings—tangy marmalade, rich chocolate spread, and velvety clotted cream, they’re a nod to tradition that warms the soul. Slather on your favourite and let the simple pleasure take over.
 

A Tea for Every Taste

To wash it all down, choose from an exquisite selection of fine teas, each hand-picked to complement the menu’s vibrant flavours. Whether you fancy a robust Darjeeling, a soothing herbal blend, or a delicate green tea, our tea sommeliers have curated the perfect pairing for your afternoon indulgence.
 

A Personal Touch: Why Our Guests Love It

I’ll let you in on a little secret: this isn’t just about the food. It’s about the feeling. One guest recently told us, “It’s like stepping into a world where time slows down, and every bite is a treat.” Another raved about the “impeccable service and stunning views,” calling it a highlight of their St. Moritz holiday. That’s what we aim for creating memories that linger long after the last crumb is gone.
