Mad Hatters High Tea

Overview

If there's someone who knows how to do high tea right, it's the Mad Hatter. And, for just two weeks this April, he's taking over Altus Rooftop at Hotel Chadstone. Step out of your ordinary, predictable day — and into a topsy-turvy world where things aren't quite what they seem. You'll be treated to a feast of delightfully creative bites, backdropped by breathtaking views of the city.

The deliciousness starts with savoury delights including Lilydale chicken, lathered in smoked apple gel and couched in buttermilk brioche; salmon cured with beetroot and layered with Beechworth honey cream cheese; and a slow-cooked beef brisket pie.

But it's dessert where the Mad Hatter really shines. Look out for the White Rabbit sablé biscuit filled with a fun mix of bubblegum marshmallow and salted caramel, and the stunning gianduja cremieux chocolate pyramid cake. Also among the sweets are a salted caramel bombe infused with pistachio and passionfruit, and orange and white chocolate scones. The final touch is the magical pink potion – a brewed concoction made with forest berries and topped with berry pearls. There's a kid-friendly menu, too.

Bookings (which are a must) are available any day of the week between Friday, 4 April, and Sunday, 20 April. There are multiple seatings per day — but just be sure not to be late for your very important date.
