Copa brings a fresh take on the traditional afternoon tea, making it one of the most refined yet approachable experiences at Shangri-La Jeddah. Guests can enjoy a set menu designed for two, filled with savoury bites such as lobster in a soft milk bun, smoked salmon with caviar, egg mayonnaise with shiso cress, and roasted chicken on focaccia.

The sweet selection features a mix of globally inspired pastries, from a coconut mousse with tropical compote to a strawberry mousse on velvet sponge, and a camel milk pistachio cake. Paired with premium teas and a calm setting, it’s ideal for a quiet catch-up, a small celebration, or simply a mid-day treat at Shangri-La Jeddah.

Shang Palace is one of the signature dining spots at Shangri-La Jeddah, and its Dim Sum Brunch brings both comfort and creativity to the table.
