Fortnums Restaurant & Wedding Venue

Dandenong Ranges tearoom favourite with legendary gluten-free scones and sweeping garden views.

A Sassafras village gem with a vintage conservatory feel. natural light streams through old-style windows and small chandeliers add warmth. The outdoor verandah draws kookaburras and rosellas, creating a genuine Dandenong Ranges escape equally lovely for a leisurely lunch as for a celebrated occasion.

Dedicated gluten-free menu with GF scones so well-executed most guests cannot tell the difference; private garden room for weddings and events; outdoor verandah with visiting native birds; high-tea sittings (typically 11:30am and 2:30pm); seasonal menus including Christmas in July.

English-Australian tearoom traditions are the core identity. Devonshire teas, scones with jam and cream, and a high-tea service that honours the heritage form in a Dandenong Ranges setting.

Reasonable for the quality and setting. most reviewers consider it fair value, particularly for the high tea experience. Some dissent that mains are pricey relative to portion size, but the atmosphere adds substantial perceived value.
