Will definitely come back at least twice next time I'm in Australia. They also make the absolute coolest looking custom cakes, wish they could send one to America for my birthday haha

Even though we had a reservation, there was still a little wait at the top. Once inside the historic room, you can marvel at the decorative lofty ceiling and ornate chandeliers.

Each person must select one set menu but they can be different set menus. There are also alcohol upgrades should you chiis Traditional High Tea Savory pastries - prosciutto thing, quiche Finger sandwiches, includes a spice eggplant, egg salad, ham and cheese, cucumber, curry and salmon (my favorite). Scone with jam and clotted cream. Pretty good - soft and warm on the inside. Sweet pastries Impressive quartet of blueberry, raspberry, choco cream and another dark red fruit tart. All are incredibly made with multi-layers and presented beautifully. Tea selection Each person can select either a green or black tea with different infusions. I tried the Irish whiskey cream - a very floral, assam blend with a flamboyant fragrance of whisky and cocoa. Undoubtedly a complex tea that commands a moment of silent contemplation to savor its flower garden aromas and flavors. Overall an elegant experience that I highly recommend because it complements the aura and history of the famous building (and modern shopping outlets). That's all...

At Tea is conveniently located at Duo Central Park, Chippendale (about 10 min walk from central station, near Sheraton Four Points). At Tea is a boutique Yum Cha restaurant, that is redefining your Yum Cha experience with matching teas. Everything is made to order, so you can pick at your tummy's content without waiting on the yum cha trolley to come around. We dined on a selection of dumplings: prawn hargow, xiao long bao, shumai, jiaozi and wonton soup. And enjoyed perfectly accompanied hot teas: orange pu'er and chrysanthemum & wolfberries and cold brews: Sydney sweetheart. We thoroughly enjoyed the tea and dumpling selection, my highlight was the chilli/xo sauce dumplings and fried chicken. This is one Yum Cha dining experience you'll want to treat yourself and the family to. Big thank you to @at_tea_duo for having me over

The place…read morewas surrounded by the park, and it would have been a very nice view if it wasn't raining that day. Free private parking lot, and the park grounds are easy to navigate through. I was a little shocked by the price, but the 3 tier food spread and the atmosphere are top notch. The ~$100 bill at the end didn't seem that awful, especially since we ended up walking away with our leftovers. That's right! Despite everything being portioned out as fancy finger food, we were still stuffed to the point of barely touching the dessert tier. I don't know how often their menu rotates, but we were served things like smoked salmon with cavier and lamb sausage rolls. This place is a nice treat, but with the cost, I can't say this would be a regular stop for me. As a tourist though, it was definitely great to experience.

The champagne and tea flowed really well. It was $45 for the high tea, and we went dressed up in our Victorian regalia to ensure that we got the actual feel of the whole era in one. The 3 tiered cake holders were just adorable and the bites to eat on it were just as succulent. Well worth a trip out here to socialise with some friends over a cuppa and enjoy the greenery. I do have to say however that I love love loved the tea cups. The china made my heart sing. Ahhhhh tea!!! My other love! They have free parking on site as well if you would like to drive out here. Alternatively there are buses that go past the estate.

Upon queuing I was so sure we wouldn't get a seat, but the friendly waiter instead asked if we want to sit outside, of course we said yes, that's the best seat in the house! With beautiful view overlooking the Lambloch vineyard on a beautiful day, I knew this is a start of something good. The menu was extensive. Choosing over their huge selections of delectable desserts was not a walk in the park. I wanted to try their soufflé but they run out, so I had the Portuguese Traditional Chocolate Mousse instead. The portion was generous. The mousse was soft and creamy, moorish without being too sweet which I prefer. We also had the Medley Tasting Plate. It's a plate with selections of Ferrero Rocher Gateau, Mini Lemon Curd meringue in a sweet pastry, Strawberry mousse & mixed berry compote topped with Strawberry, Black Forest scheibe topped with amorello cherry and a caramelised nut triangle tart. Perfect for someone like me who can't decide on one dessert. I have them paired with a glass of Lambloch Vineyard Diva Sparkling Wine. Heavenly! The kids had the Kids Chocolate Dipping Plate, which my kids were so excited about, because they get to dip strawberries, poco loco, marshmallows, snakes, Jelly Babies, honeycomb and banana lollies into Sabor's chocolate pod. It was priceless seeing the smile on the kids face and how much fun they had. So, I sit back with my Sparkling in one hand, breeze softly blow through my hair, taking everything in, the beautiful view, the precious time spent with family and for a moment time stood still. It was a beautiful way to end a trip to the Hunter.
