Acacia Tea Salon

Yangon


This colonial-style tea salon, patisserie and restaurant occupies a chic whitewashed mansion. There's a takeaway section stocking all the lovely cakes, biscuits and savouries made here. For an indulgent time, treat yourself to one of its afternoon teas (K20,000 to K35,000).

The Moroccan room, covered in warm-coloured soft cushions, is a lovely chill-out space.
