Met two friends and her boyfriend for afternoon tea on Boxing Day. As they relied on me to choose a spot, I decided here as it was a holiday season and every hotel and mall afternoon tea places would have ridiculous long queues. However, I did make a reservation just in case.

Located in Central, this is the only Jean Hevin that had an eating area. The other shops are just for take away chocolates. Their restaurant area is actually behind the chocolate shop and up the flight of stairs.

It was wonderfully quiet so we had the place to chat away without screaming like in most other places. Menu had various sweet and savory dishes. They even had hot chocolate sets that included hot chocolate and a cake or croissants. We decided on an afternoon tea set for two, a quiche and a club sandwich to share. Club sandwich and quiche included a salad. Tea set included two cups of coffee and we added two pots of hot chocolate. One with chantilly cream and one with coffee. Total came to $774.

Quiche was ok. Crust was soft and crumbly. Quiche itself could have been a bit thicker. Salad greens were fresh. The little squiggles were balsamic vinegar glaze and was fantastic.

 Club sandwich was pretty good. Bread was toasted. Included ham, egg, tomato and lettuce. Included a salad.

 Baguettes came with the afternoon tea set. They were hot and chewy with a crispy crust. Tasted good. We wondered why we didn't get butter but then we noticed (after we finished eating the bread), there was jam and marmalade.

 Afternoon tea set ($328) was for two people. The duck breast on cracker was pretty good. Though the smoked salmon bilini was not that great as the bilini was a bit soggy. There were some lovely chocolates and a rich chocolate orange cake. Two macarons of two different flavors (chocolate and raspberry) were perfectly done. The two shot glasses with straws was a cold pumpkin soup which I liked but my friend didn't.

 I had a hot chocolate with coffee added. It was served in a tea pot. I liked it as it was rich in chocolate taste but not so thick, I couldn't drink it. There was just the right amount of coffee to give it a bit of kick.

 A great quiet place to meet friends. Or even a romantic gathering. Prices not overly expensive as dishes averaged $100. Nothing was over $200 with most dishes below $100. Pretty good value. Did not expect that.
