Afternoon tea in Bermuda

[Sophie’smom]

We are on the Oct 7 NYC to Bermuda cruise. Has anyone been to afternoon tea in Bermuda ? The only 2 I could find were on a Saturday. If not tea, any lunch recommendations? Thanks

My wife and I loved Cambridge Beaches. Looks like they just brought back their afternoon tea for 2023

In Bermuda, I like to have Bermuda fish chowder (I am not a big fan of fish soups, otherwise). A popular food is the fish sandwich - served all over the island.

(Take into consideration the location and where you will be at tea time.)
Check out the following:

The first one is by the ship:
The Dockyard Pastry Shop
This cosy café is perfect for an afternoon tea that is budget-friendly. Swiss pastry chef, Joerg Rudolf’s café can be found at the edge of the Victualling Yard in Dockyard. Eat in their dining room or on the charming cobblestone terrace with shady umbrellas and privacy from hibiscus hedges. Their English Afternoon-Tea is simple and classic: freshly baked scones with jam and cream, sandwiches and Petit Fours. Bonus: They offer a variety of gluten-free sweets and pastries.
Daily from 2:00 p.m. to 5:00 p.m. – $26.75 per person. ($38.75 with a glass of champagne)
(Price in Nov 2022): $36.96 pp Add Champagne $47

High-end hotel:
The Conservatory, Rosewood Bermuda
Rosewood Bermuda offers an afternoon tea service with a Bermuda twist! Choose from a selection of sandwiches, ‘coronets’ such as the Premier’s chicken salad or local yellowfin tuna tartar, raisin and plain scones – which come with clotted cream, strawberry jam or Bermuda loquat jam – passion fruit meringue pies and strawberry tarts. The bar is also known for its craft cocktails and gin, so why not let afternoon tea roll right into happy hour? Daily from 1:00 p.m. – $48 per person

A Fairmont hotel, somewhere between the other two (edit: level, not geographically)
Crown & Anchor, Hamilton Princess & Beach Club
The grand pastel-pink Hamilton Princess was named after Queen Victoria’s daughter, Princess Louise, and has been a Hamilton landmark since 1885, so it is only fitting that they would serve tea fit for royalty. Their Lot 35 teas feature blends from around the world, including Princess Diana’s favourite: ‘Rose Congou’. Timeless choices of savory creations like roast beef horseradish and cucumber dill sandwiches are in the mix, alongside sophisticated salmon Blinis and melted brie and proscuitto costinis with a balsamic glaze. In addition to fluffy scones is a fabulous dessert selection to please all with strawberry cheesecake, passionfruit sable, caramel chocolate tarte and macarons. Fridays to Sundays • 3:00 p.m. – 5:00 p.m. – $55 per person or $75 includes a glass of Veuve Cliquot champagne.

The Conservatory at Rosewood is a bit nicer than the one at Hamilton Princess. Haven't been to Cambridge Beaches or Dockyard.

Enjoy your trip.
