If an afternoon tea date sounds appealing, but the usual cakes and sandwiches feel a little too predictable, there is a chocolate-focused experience worth putting on the list. From 11 August to 31 October 2026, SAFRA members can enjoy 20% off Chocolat: A Cocoa Ritual Afternoon Tea at 1864 at Sofitel Singapore City Centre.
Located at Level 5 of Sofitel Singapore City Centre along Wallich Street, 1864 offers a more refined setting for an afternoon catch-up, celebration or simply a leisurely break from the usual routine. With the SAFRA member promotion, the experience is available at 20% off the usual price of $68++ per person, subject to the promotion’s terms and conditions.
The afternoon tea is served daily from 2pm to 5pm, making it particularly suitable for those looking for something to do during the late afternoon. Reservations are highly recommended because seating is limited, and the set is generally structured for a minimum of two diners.
A Chocolate Afternoon Tea With More Than Just Desserts
What makes Chocolat interesting is that chocolate is not treated simply as an ingredient for cakes and sweets. The menu explores cocoa in both sweet and savoury creations, giving diners the opportunity to experience familiar flavours in rather different combinations.
The experience features 10 thoughtfully composed sweet and savoury creations, accompanied by signature elixirs. For chocolate lovers, this means there is plenty to explore beyond the standard afternoon tea staples.
One of the creations to look out for is the Matcha Chocolate Mousseline with ginger and pickled pear. The combination brings together earthy matcha, chocolate and the sharper notes of ginger and pickled pear, creating something rather different from a conventional chocolate dessert.
Another highlight is the Ivoire Chocolate Crèmeux with passionfruit and pineapple. The smooth chocolate element is paired with tropical fruit flavours, giving the dessert a balance between richness and acidity.
For those who prefer their chocolate with a deeper and more intense character, the Chocolate Roulade made with Valrhona Guanaja 70% dark chocolate is another standout. The darker cocoa profile makes this particularly appealing to diners who enjoy chocolate that is rich and pronounced rather than overly sweet.
Savoury Dishes Make This More Interesting
The savoury selection is another reason this afternoon tea is worth considering. Instead of keeping cocoa strictly within the dessert section, the menu incorporates chocolate and cocoa into savoury preparations as well.
Among the creations are Braised Pork with Black Pepper & Mocha Emulsion and Cocoa Nib Crusted Madeira Cured Foie Gras. These dishes show a more unexpected side of cocoa, using it to complement meat and savoury flavours rather than simply adding sweetness.
That mixture of sweet and savoury is useful for diners who want an afternoon tea that feels more substantial. It also makes the experience something to talk about afterwards, especially when dining with friends who enjoy trying unusual flavour combinations.
Why the 20% Discount Makes It Worth Considering
At the usual listed price of $68++ per person, the 20% SAFRA member discount provides a useful saving for anyone already planning to have afternoon tea. Based on the stated price, the discounted amount before service charge and GST works out to $54.40 per person.
For two diners, that means the food portion of the bill would be $108.80 before the applicable 10% service charge and prevailing GST, rather than $136++ at the usual price. The actual amount payable will depend on the applicable charges.
For a hotel afternoon tea experience in central Singapore, that saving can make the difference between simply thinking about going and actually arranging a date.
It is also worth remembering that this is not a promotion where diners need to buy a large quantity of products to unlock a discount. The saving is directly tied to the afternoon tea experience, so it could work well for a planned catch-up, birthday treat, anniversary afternoon or a casual weekend indulgence.
A Good Reason to Plan an Afternoon Out
There is something enjoyable about slowing down for an afternoon tea rather than squeezing another meal into a busy schedule. The 2pm to 5pm serving window gives diners plenty of flexibility, particularly for those who want a late lunch replacement or an early evening treat.
The location at Sofitel Singapore City Centre also makes it convenient for people spending time around the CBD and Tanjong Pagar area. Instead of travelling out of the city for a special afternoon, diners can make an occasion of it right in central Singapore.
The setting should also appeal to those looking for something a little more polished than a casual café visit. Whether the plan is a quiet catch-up with a friend or a small celebration, an afternoon tea in a hotel setting naturally gives the outing a more special feel.
SAFRA Members Should Remember Their Card
The 20% discount is specifically a SAFRA Members’ Exclusive, so eligible diners should remember to bring a valid SAFRA Card or have their SAFRA e-Card available through the SAFRA mobile app.
The card or e-Card must be presented in person when ordering and making payment. This is important because the discount should not be assumed to be automatically applied simply because the reservation was made online.
Reservations should also be made in advance. The promotion states that seating availability is limited, and prior reservations are highly recommended. This is particularly important if diners have a preferred weekend date or want to visit during a busy period.
Diners can check the menu before visiting and make a reservation through the provided booking links.
Things to Check Before Making a Booking
There are several terms worth knowing before making plans. The afternoon tea is available daily from 2pm to 5pm, but the promotion is not valid on the eve of public holidays, public holidays and specified festive block-out dates.
The afternoon tea is generally arranged for a minimum of two people. Single diners may still be charged the base set rate for two, so anyone planning to dine alone should check the applicable arrangement before booking.
Prices are also subject to a 10% service charge and prevailing GST. The discount cannot be combined with other promotions, privileges, discount cards or promotional vouchers where applicable.
As with most promotional campaigns, the merchant also reserves the right to amend, add or withdraw the terms and conditions without prior notice. Checking the latest details before visiting is therefore a sensible step.
Is This Chocolate Afternoon Tea Worth Trying?
For SAFRA members who enjoy chocolate and are looking for a slightly different afternoon experience, the answer is certainly worth considering. The combination of 10 sweet and savoury creations, signature elixirs and a hotel setting gives this more appeal than simply ordering a chocolate dessert with coffee.
The 20% discount also gives diners a practical reason to make the trip during the promotional period. Rather than waiting for a special occasion, it could be used as an excuse to meet up with a friend, enjoy a relaxed afternoon with a partner or simply take a break and try something different.
The biggest appeal is arguably the variety. From matcha, ginger and pickled pear to tropical passionfruit and pineapple, followed by 70% dark chocolate and savoury cocoa-inspired creations, the menu offers plenty for diners to discover.
So, if a chocolate-themed afternoon tea sounds like the kind of indulgence worth making time for, SAFRA members can consider heading to 1864 at Sofitel Singapore City Centre between 11 August and 31 October 2026. With 20% off the listed $68++ per-person price, it is a good opportunity to enjoy a more leisurely afternoon while making the most of a member-exclusive saving.
