Sweet Set 2019

Overview

Fitzroy's Grub is teaming up with some of the sweetest folks in town for a series of extravagant weekly high teas. After a sold-out run last year, Sweet Set will again treat punters to an eight-course menu in Grub's upstairs space every Sunday afternoon from July 14–September 1.

Each week will include four savoury creations from the Grub kitchen paired with with four sweet numbers from a rotating lineup of Melbourne's best pastry chefs. Expect native ingredient-spiked hot chocolates and rich cakes from Mörk, pastries and doughnuts aplenty from Penny for Pound and some next-level baked goods from All Are Welcome's Boris Portnoy, who used to be the head pastry chef at Michelin-starred restaurant Meadowood in the Napa Valley.

The whole thing costs $69 per person, and includes a glass of Puncheon prosecco and either a pot of tea or Market Lane coffee.

Sessions will run at 11.30am, 2pm and 4.15pm each week, and we suggest getting your friends on board now — these pastry parties sold out last year. We promise not to tell your dentist if you promise not to tell ours.
