Fall Afternoon Tea

With fall settling into Washington, DC, The Potomac Hotel is giving afternoon tea a seasonal refresh with a menu built around autumn flavors, warm spices and indulgent pastries.

Served at The Lounge, the new Fall Afternoon Tea pairs elevated savory bites with festive sweets, including a Pear and Brie Tart with Pistachio and Truffle Honey, Autumn Curry Chicken Salad, and a Maple Harvest Crostini with roasted squash, goat cheese, walnuts and sage.

On the sweeter side, guests can expect a Banana Hazelnut Éclair, Brown Butter Choux, Bourbon Pecan Tart, Chocolate Flourless Bar and Pistachio Raspberry Marjolaine. The service is rounded out with a Salted Toffee Banana Scone served with Devonshire cream, orange curd and apple jam. 

It’s a cozy new way to spend a fall afternoon in the capital, whether stopping in for a leisurely weekend tea or looking for a seasonal gathering spot.
