Lennons Restaurant & Bar

Where better to experience one of the best high teas in Brisbane than an inner-city, five-star hotel? Lennons Restaurant & Bar‘s high tea shifts with the season. The current iteration, Season of Sunshine, is all about Queensland’s fresh summer produce. Think pineapple meringue, complemented by raspberry scones with infused raspberry chantilly and Bowen mango choux, alongside savoury favourites such as smoked salmon with dill cream crumpet and pea & mint arancini.

Fancy going beyond tea? Add on a refreshing Yuzu Tea Cooler or Lennon’s Restaurant & Bar’s Pavlova Blossom cocktail.

Patina at Customs House

If ribbon sandwiches and savoury canapes have your heart, Customs House is the place to be.

The champagne high tea at this iconic heritage-listed Brisbane building is second to none, with handcrafted French teas and petite desserts starring on the menu.

High tea is served on Patina’s restaurant terrace with views overlooking the Brisbane River, so it’s simply perfect for a Sunday afternoon!

Bacchus

Bacchus’ delicious high tea blends traditional afternoon tea dishes with an array of incredible Asian flavours. Think miso praline, jasmine mousse, mini banh mi’s and chamomile ganache.

Every element of each dish has been perfected, from the caramel within the desserts to the corned beef in the classic Reuben sandwiches. This one is something special!

Sitchu Tip: Bacchus also offers a great option for the kiddos at a reduced rate of $45 per child.

Tucked upstairs in the heritage-listed Brisbane Arcade, Room With Roses is a classy and nostalgic nod to the true high tea experience.
