As this Bangkok Hotel Afternoon Tea news report highlights, the autumn update is designed to work well for those settling in for a leisurely afternoon of coffee, tea, pastries and sophisticated Italian-inspired bites.
L’Autunno Brings Italy to Afternoon Tea
The L’Autunno Afternoon Tea is Ms.Jigger’s Italian interpretation of the traditional afternoon tea ritual. Rather than simply relying on familiar sandwiches and cakes, the restaurant has created a menu that moves confidently between luxurious ingredients, contemporary techniques and flavors associated with autumn.
The experience is priced at THB 1,590 for two persons, including two choices of coffee mocktails, coffee and tea. Guests looking to add a celebratory touch can opt for the THB 1,990 package, which includes two glasses of sparkling wine together with coffee and tea.
L’Autunno Afternoon Tea is available daily from 11:30 a.m. until 5:00 p.m. from 1 September to 30 November 2026.
Savoury Bites Take an Indulgent Turn
The savory selection offers several ambitious combinations. Carpaccio al tartufo pairs beef carpaccio with truffle cream, fresh black truffle and walnut, while Flan di mela e fegato d’anatra brings together foie gras, apple flan and vanilla-roasted pineapple.
Frittata allo speck combines a speck roll with onion and courgette omelette and caviar. Seafood also receives plenty of attention, with Tartare di gambero e burrata featuring red prawn tartare and burrata on an oat cracker, while Astice ai funghi combines lobster medallion with porcini mushroom espuma.
One of the more unusual savory creations is Lingua al lime, featuring tempura beef tongue with lime yogurt and shallot jam, adding another layer of contrast to a menu built around rich flavors and unexpected pairings.

Autumn Sweets with an Italian Accent
Desserts continue the seasonal theme with some particularly intriguing combinations. Sugolo e cioccolato features grape pudding, chocolate, Chantilly cream and corn biscuit, while Meringa alle amarene combines cocoa nib meringue, mascarpone cream and amarena cherries.
Perhaps one of the afternoon tea’s biggest talking points is Melanzane al cioccolato, which pairs dark chocolate with aubergine. Maritozzo alla zucca, meanwhile, fills the familiar Italian bun with balsamic pumpkin mousse, bringing a distinctly autumnal ingredient into the spotlight. Veneziana alla crema completes the listed sweet selection and further strengthens the Italian identity of the experience.
A Seasonal Reason to Return to Ms.Jigger
The autumn launch forms part of Ms.Jigger’s wider effort to keep its dining experience evolving throughout the year. By refreshing its à la carte dishes and lunch offerings while introducing a dedicated seasonal afternoon tea, the restaurant is targeting different dining occasions without losing its underlying Italian character.
For Bangkok diners and hotel guests, L’Autunno offers more than a conventional afternoon tea. Its combination of black truffle, foie gras, lobster, red prawns, pumpkin, amarena cherries and even chocolate with aubergine gives the experience an adventurous edge, while the choice of tea, coffee, mocktails or sparkling wine allows guests to set their own pace.
With L’Autunno running until 30 November 2026, Ms.Jigger is giving Bangkok diners three months to discover its interpretation of an Italian autumn. The combination of imaginative savories, unconventional desserts and a relaxed afternoon setting could make the seasonal offering one of the restaurant’s most distinctive reasons to visit before the year draws to a close.
