Bottomless High Tea

Overview

One of the OGs of Melbourne's bottomless brunch scene has teamed up with a clever culinary mate, dialling things up for an even more extravagant dining experience than usual. South Yarra's House of Lulu White, along with Ladybird Cakes pastry maestro Gina Tubb (Vue de Monde), has launched a decadent new Sunday series — a generous sweet and savoury high tea spread matched with free-flowing drinks.

From 2–4pm each week, you can make a date with a porcelain tea stand brimming with handmade bites. There are finger sandwiches and brioche buns to kick things off, starring fillings like smoked salmon with cucumber and horseradish cream, and poached chicken with pickled celery and yuzu mayo.

Expect sweet sensations aplenty, too; perhaps a fluffy G&T-inspired marshmallow (designed to pair with the venue's signature lavender gimlet), fluffy strawberry and champagne cupcakes, Chambord-soaked pineapple sponge and buttery croissants.

To wash it down, you've got a choice of bottomless bubbles or cocktails, with 90-minute sittings clocking in at $85.
