The English afternoon tea is a time-honoured tradition that dates back to 1885 – now presented at Palm Court which also offers a selection of ethnic Asian inspired dishes and casual international fare for all day dining while Sarkies is a perennial favourite for its splendid buffet-spread of Malaysian and international delights. For refreshing and well-made cocktails or the perfect pint, the new Farquhar’s Bar is the place to be. Whether cosily seated indoors, semi-formal dining, outdoors at the seafront verandahs or poolside, there is something to suit every taste and fancy at the E&O.
