The perfection of a tradition.. Upon arriving, my wife and I are seated in exquisitely comfortable chairs at the beautiful and luxurious Le Salon at Windsor Court. A harpist begins playing a melody... and the ambiance is heavenly.
Our server welcomes us to our seating and displays notable professionalism and well-versed competency. The table is prepared neatly and with careful attention to detail.
The tea sandwiches are masterfully done and beautifully presented. From the caviar, to the smoked salmon, to the egg salad, to the lobster cucumber, and to the traditional cucumber, all are delicious.
We chose the Jasmine Tea, steeped perfectly and with a lovely perfume from the floral nature of this tea.
The scones were exceptionally well done and of perfect size, with excellent lemon curd, clotted cream, vanilla cream and jam as accoutrements. Delicious.
The dainty sweets were a beautiful final note to a fantastic tea service.
For the most exceptional tea experience in the New Orleans metropolitan area, Le Salon is known by locals as the definitive place to visit for such an occasion. Highly recommended!
Recently stayed at the Windsor Court with my wife. Had a wonderful buffet lunch in Le Salon. It was wonderful.
Came here while visiting New Orleans and had a lovely Sunday afternoon tea. They served a great standard high tea as well as a fully vegan menu, which was so lovely. The service, atmosphere and tea selection were all amazing.
Came here for a holiday tea and Paige was great! Super friendly and sweet! The little sandwich’s and scones are such a tasty treat. A must for the holiday!
I love afternoon teas, and the afternoon tea at Le Salon ranks in the top 2 as compared to afternoon tea at the Ritz Carlton in Virginia or teas in France, the UK, and Canada, or other places in the United States.
Make sure you book reservations at the Afternoon Tea in the lobby (on the right as you enter). It is available on Friday - Sunday 11 am - 2 pm. We made reservations for 1:00 pm to give us some time after the delicious breakfast at the Grill Room at Windsor Court and before we left to catch our plane.
There was live harp music (or piano music), and a wonderful genteel setting with comfortable couches and chairs. The harp music was very special and elevating, since it has been quite a while since I have heard it. I thought the strawberry pattern china and lace placemats were a perfect setting for the tea.
Tea includes a drink (wine, champagne, poinsettia - champagne plus cranberry juice), a pot of tea (menu in the pictures), lovely finger sandwiches (chicken curry, smoked salmon, crab on cucumber, egg salad) and two scones and desserts plus the normal lemon curd, Devonshire cream, whipped cream, and raspberry jam.
The waitress poured refills on the tea.
After all the sightseeing and walking around in the French Quarter and the museums, ending the trip to NOLA with a relaxing, soothing, elegant, and delicious afternoon tea was very memorable.
Lovely teatime with a great selection of teas and finger foods. They were very accommodating of a nut allergy I have. Lovely harpist played while we were there, setting the mood!
Having afternoon tea at Le Salon is an absolute must try experience especially if your staying at the Windsor Court. The room is beautifully filled with a nice mix of couches and tables, it is very elegant. The service was fantastic and the tea, sandwiches, and desserts were to die for! I couldn't recommend Le Salon highly enough. I am sure little girls and their mothers would love this place as well for special occasions.
We had a lovely time at tea! The finger sandwiches were delicate and delicious. The scones and accompaniments were generous. The petit fours were a nice finish.
Had the best time at le salon! Make sure to sit in Lisa’s section. She knows how to recommend tea and is so welcoming and lovely. Had tea with a friend and we were able to catch up and enjoy delicious sandwiches and pastries. Harp was playing the whole time and it was so cozy.
Always a treat! Le Salon is fabulous for gracious family gatherings and celebratory business meetings alike. The surroundings are comfortable and plush, the live harp or piano music lends a lovely backdrop to the conversation, and the service is impeccable.
We went for the Christmas tea and it was so fun! Our waitress was so kind and personable. The food was delicious too. Will definitely go again next time we are in town.
My friends and I attended high tea while on vacation. One of us had never done so before so we had a first timer with us. I like to do high tea whenever I travel to get new experiences and this one was top notch. The elegance of the environment, the level of class the server had, the elevated flavors of the food, the selection of amazing tea, and even the cocktail that came with the purchase of the tea was amazing. Our server heard me talking about how I always get Earl Grey even though something else might look good and she let us try her favorite tea on the menu. I ended up liking it even more than my own selection and my friend even bought a few bags of it to take home. The food offerings were amazing with good variety and quality ingredients. I highly recommend this experience to anyone looking for a nice afternoon snack.
