Overview

High teas are back in a big way, with QT Sydney getting in on the action with the help of renowned patissier Adriano Zumbo. Launching on Saturday, August 2, a brand-new QTea High Tea Menu is jam-packed with indulgent creations that delve far beyond the traditional, served in the suitably luxe surrounds of the hotel's NY-inspired Gowings Bar & Grill.

This high tea is divided into sweet and savoury selections, with those on the sugary side of life spanning options like A Rare Pear — macadamia cake layered with pear vanilla cream — and fun-loving Zumbarons — Adriano's signature macarons prepared in a myriad of playful flavours.

Over to the savoury assortment, expect harissa prawn rolls, mac and cheese croquettes and Thai chicken sambos adorned with tangy lime dressing. Of course, this opulent feast comes with free-flowing loose-leaf tea, while you're welcome to pair lavish cocktails and champagne with your bite-sized morsels.

Spanning 90-minute sessions with bookings available every Saturday and Sunday from 11am–3.30pm, Adriano Zumbo will also be in the house himself for two special sittings on Saturday, August 9, and Sunday, August 10. This might be your only chance to get the inside word on what makes his Zumbarons so magical.
