Start Mum's High Tea celebration with a glass of Australian pink bubbly and your choice of fine tea. The High Tea experience becomes distinctly local once the tiered platters arrive, topped with sweet and savoury delicacies unlike any other restaurant in the city. Blinis topped with prawns, delicate petit fours, mini pastries and tartlets and more.
