High Tea of Aus 2019

Overview

If you've had one high tea, then you know what you're in for — right? That's not the case at W Brisbane's High Tea of Aus. It comes with a distinctively local flavour. As great at scones and sandwiches are (and then more scones and more sandwiches), this weekend feast takes its cues from Aussie favourites, although not as you know them.

Serving up meat pies, lamingtons and milo as part of its spread, the hotel is calling its dishes 'reimagined versions' of these trusty favourites — and you can't go wrong where all three are concerned. Keeping the theme going, other treats feature Toowoomba free-range eggs, Fraser Island crab and quandong.

Running every Friday, Saturday and Sunday for two-hour sessions between 11am–2pm, the high tea comes with unlimited tea for $55 per person, but can also include Veuve Clicquot Champagne, a martini or a strawberry sour — which'll cost up to $79 per person, including food. Bookings are necessary, and can be made online.
