How we read reviews →Melbourne institution for grand high tea. tiered stands, scones and 12 loose-leaf teas.
A grand Victorian-era tea room. old-world elegance with a live jazz soundtrack on busier sittings; reviewers call it classy and historic, though several note the room can run cold and the decor needs restoration.
Three-tier stand service, 12 loose-leaf teas including Lapsang Souchong, complimentary sparkling wine, a weekend dessert buffet with chocolate fountain, and kitchen staff who have custom-made dishes for allergy and diabetic guests.
A traditional British-style high tea format, run continuously at this historic Melbourne hotel for decades. several long-time guests compare today's service against visits from a decade or more ago.
Split verdict on value at roughly $90-$110+ per head. many reviewers call it worth the price for the occasion and setting, but a vocal minority found the food underwhelming and service slow for the cost.
