Fashion High Tea at Pan Pacific Melbourne 23 Oct 12:04 PM (3 days ago)

Fashion High Tea at Pan Pacific Melbourne

Perched above the Yarra River with sweeping views of Melbourne’s glittering skyline, the Pan Pacific Melbourne once again proves it knows how to do spring in style. Its much-loved Fashion High Tea has returned for the Spring Racing Carnival season, running until 30 November in the elegant Pacific Club Lounge.

A collaboration between Executive Chef Trent Whelan and his talented pastry team, the menu is a playful yet refined ode to the city’s fashion and food scenes. Think couture-inspired desserts shaped like handbags and fascinators, delicate savouries showcasing local produce, and the choice to toast the afternoon with Veuve Clicquot Champagne or premium TWG teas and Vittoria coffee.

The delightful pastry chef Ava Diventri, who has been with Pan Pacific Melbourne for over a year, graciously guided us through the exquisite, tiered stand, introducing each element of the Fashion High Tea menu.

The experience opens with a parade of savoury delights, both warm and cold. The Serrano ham croquette with truffle aioli and a crisp shard of ham is creamy, rich and indulgent. The Cauliflower and Sebago potato pie is beautifully balanced, its pastry golden and light, while whipped goat’s curd and golden raisins add a subtle sweetness.

Among the cold savouries, the torn burrata with baby peas, asparagus, bush apple gel, candied macadamia and olive was a gentle, elegant start. The pastry base was perfectly thin and crisp, allowing the creamy burrata and delicate native fruit notes to shine, with the macadamia offering a light textural accent rather than a dominant flavour.

The mini lobster roll followed, its soft, buttery brioche held generous pieces of fresh lobster, complemented by big bursts of Yarra Valley salmon roe. A little more finger lime zest would have helped the citrus sing, but it remained a decadent and delicious bite.

The gin and citrus-cured salmon was a standout in both presentation and flavour. Served on charcoal bread that provided just the right texture to carry the topping, it balanced freshness and depth beautifully. The Geraldton Wax lent a gentle floral note, while the dessert lime added a bright citrus lift. Finished with glossy pearls of Avruga caviar, it was a refined, well-composed bite that was light, modern, and distinctly Melbourne.

Finally, the Milawa chicken and Granny Smith apple pinwheel was an instant favourite. The tender chicken and crisp apple made for a flawless pairing, sweet, savoury and perfectly balanced. It was one of those combinations you wouldn’t change a thing about.

The scones arrive warm and fragrant, a comforting interlude between savoury and sweet. The classic buttermilk scone is perfection, while the orange blossom, ruby chocolate and lavender scone introduces a gentle twist — the ruby chocolate lends a subtle berry tartness, though the lavender is more of a suggestion than statement. Served with strawberry and rose petal preserve, lemon curd, and clotted cream, this is a course to linger over.

For the patisserie selection, Executive Chef Trent Whelan and his talented pastry team take their inspiration straight from the runway. Each sweet is a miniature masterpiece.

The Floral Lace Macaron resembled a delicate pink fascinator, its honeycomb lace design curling elegantly across the shell. Inside, a layer of strawberry mascarpone offered creamy sweetness, beautifully balanced by a rose champagne gello that cut through with just the right touch of acidity – refined, romantic, and perfectly on theme.

The Soirée Stunner was a showpiece in every sense, a biscuit silhouette of a race-day lady adorned with a gown of salted hazelnut chocolate foam glistening in deep red and finished with a dusting of 24-carat gold. Rich in hazelnut flavour and silky in texture, it was both theatrical and indulgent, a true homage to the glamour of Flemington.

The Celestial Carry is presented as a bronzed, blush-toned handbag rendered in chocolate. Beneath its glittering surface lay layers of dulce and ginger crèmeux atop a burnt chocolate biscuit, delivering warmth, spice, and a velvety finish. A clear highlight and conversation piece of the tier.

Finally, the Golden Elixir glowed like a miniature vessel of sunshine, its passionfruit cream, blood orange, and lemon myrtle gel combining in a perfectly citrusy harmony. The flecks of gold leaf added a touch of opulence, closing the tier on a bright note.

Pan Pacific partners with Singapore’s TWG Tea, renowned for its luxury blends. The French Earl Grey is aromatic with citrus and blue cornflowers, while the Silver Moon – a green tea with berry and vanilla notes, is elegant and soft. Those seeking a more traditional finish will enjoy the Black Chai, Moroccan Mint, or Chamomile, while Vittoria Coffee is also available.

The Fashion High Tea is available every Saturday and Sunday, 12 – 4pm, until 30 November 2025. Packages start at $79 per adult, or $99 with a glass of Veuve Clicquot. Children’s high tea is $49.

Adding to the festive spirit, Pan Pacific Melbourne will host complimentary canapés and French sparkling in the hotel lobby on major race days; Derby Day, Melbourne Cup, Oaks and Stakes, making it the perfect prelude to Flemington’s festivities.

With its creative flair, polished service and sweeping city views, Pan Pacific Melbourne’s Fashion High Tea is where fashion and flavour come together in effortless elegance.

Spring High Tea, Firewater Grille, Duxton Hotel Perth 10 Oct 9:14 AM (17 days ago)

Spring High Tea, Firewater Grille, Duxton Hotel Perth

Before I talk about the delicious menu, I must mention the jaw-dropping chandelier in the hotel foyer. You can’t miss it, and trust me, you wouldn’t want to; it’s stunning!

A few short steps away was the entrance of the Firewater Grill, where I was immediately mesmerised by the angelic tones of the live harpist. My table was fortunately very close to her and the equally impressive water wall feature.

Sous Chef Lekhnath Thapaliya and Head Pastry Chef Marlon Calara

On my last visit, I had their infamous mocktail, the Strawberry Nojito, and just had to have it again as it’s so delicious and refreshing. However, there are also two fabulous cocktails on offer, G & Tea (with green tea) and Chambord Cosmopolitan, as well as bubbles.

The first tasty morsel to appear was the warm exotic mushroom tart with crispy leek and truffle oil, on a singular plate. It was quite simply the most delicious mushroom tart I’ve ever tasted and so deserved its own moment.

Then the three-tiered tower of tasty treats came out, and the presentation of each sweet and savoury was second to none. Bonus points for the inclusion of mini tongs for serving. I started on the middle savoury tier with the sous vide grain-fed beef tenderloin on a toasted brioche before moving onto the mildly spicy chipotle chicken & truffle bruschetta. The traditional Danish smørrebrød was rye bread topped with cream cheese and lashings of smoked salmon, yum! While the cucumber and radish carpaccio was an alternate take on the traditional cucumber sandwich and a refreshing end to the savouries.

It was then time to order my Silk Estate Purely Peppermint Tea for the traditional and raisin scones with clotted cream and berry compote. The Duxton still boasts some of the best scones around. Everything from the buttery crust and fluffy centre to the condiments was amazing.

The top and final tier showcased the remaining four desserts. Chocoholics will rejoice at the pistachio crunch with chocolate truffle and ganache, and the equally scrumptious chocolate dirty chai budino. A change of flavour followed with the fruity apple rhubarb upside down and concluded with the victorian pineapple frangipane, which also boasted the summer staple, coconut.

Spring High Tea, Firewater Grille, Duxton Hotel Perth

The Firewater Grille Spring High Tea at the Duxton Hotel Perth was everything I could hope for and more. The pretty-as-a-picture menu was further enhanced by the relaxing setting and white glove service.

It is available on Sundays from 1 pm to 4 pm, for $75, and extra for cocktails. The kids’ version for ages 3–12 costs $40. Bookings are essential.

For an afternoon of dainty desserts and superb savouries, you can’t go past the Duxton’s latest high tea offering.

A Sweet Visit to Marseille, France 29 Sep 11:25 AM (28 days ago)

Les Navettes Chocolat, Mille-Feuille & Apricot and Pistachio Tart

We had a chance to meet with Sylvain Depuichaffray at his pastry shop and tea room. Tucked away at 66 Rue Grignan, Depuichaffray runs one of Marseille’s finest pastry boutiques.

Sylvain Depuichaffray His career began in some of France’s top kitchens before he traded Provence for Sydney, where he helped open the Ampersand restaurant and later worked at Aria with Matt Moran, overlooking the Sydney Opera House. Returning to France in 2002, he honed his craft with Pierre Hermé in Paris before opening his own boutique in Marseille with his partner, Myriam.

Visitors will find a tempting selection of pastries, cakes, chocolates, quiches, and salads. Among the most popular choices is the Mille-Feuille, which changes seasonally with flavours such as apricot and hazelnut. Another favourite is the Apricot and Pistachio Tart.

Equally delightful are the Le Navettes Chocolat, inspired by Marseille’s traditional orange blossom biscuit, Le Navette. Depuichaffray’s version blends chocolate with almond pieces, orange blossom, and a delicate hint of aniseed.

Guide to Marseille’s Patisseries

Once you’ve savoured Depuichaffray’s creations, don’t stop there. Marseille is brimming with pastry treasures, from vegan delights to historic institutions. Here are some of the city’s best patisseries to add to your itinerary:

Oh Faon!
2 Rue Edmond Rostand, 13006 Marseille
Don’t let the cheeky name fool you, this is serious pastry. Oh Faon! specialises in vegan creations that prove butter and cream aren’t the only route to indulgence. Arrive early (opens 8:30am) and discover plant-based magic.

1860 Le Palais des Thés
9 La Canebière, Vieux Port, 13001 Marseille
Perfect for a central stop, this historic tea house pairs its extensive tea menu with delicate pastries.

Paëma
31 Avenue Pasteur, 13007 Marseille
A 25-minute stroll from the Old Port, Paëma is a modern pâtisserie where pastries are as photogenic as they are delicious. The boutique’s style is chic, contemporary, and utterly Instagrammable.

Dalloyau
9 Quai du Lazaret, 13002 Marseille (Les Terrasses du Port)
A centuries-old name in French gastronomy, Dalloyau offers Marseille a slice of Parisian refinement. Their macarons and éclairs are legendary, and the boutique’s location makes it ideal to pair with a shopping trip.

La Pépite
122 Rue Sainte, 13007 Marseille
Gluten-free, lactose-free, and organic, but full of flavour. La Pépite is perfect for late-morning explorers (doors open at 10:30am) who want to balance indulgence with wellness.

Marrou (Multiple Locations)
An institution since 1902, Marrou is more than a patisserie, it’s a gourmet hub with a tea room, deli, and cheese shop alongside pastries. The Opera House location is especially worth a visit for its lively atmosphere and history.

Marseille’s Pastry Scene

Marseille’s pastry scene is a delightful blend of old and new, where elegant French tradition meets Mediterranean flair. Start at Sylvain Depuichaffray, linger over tea at Palais des Thés, indulge in vegan surprises at Oh Faon!, or revisit century-old favourites at Marrou.

Paris may have the global pastry spotlight, but in Marseille, you’ll find world-class creations—with fewer queues and twice the sunshine.

Where to stay

The Babel Community Hotel Marseille Rooftop

I stayed at The Babel Community Hotel Marseille, no more backpacking for me; I travel in comfort now. If a home, hotel, and co-working office had a love child, it would be Babel. The Babel Community combines co-working, co-living, and hotel experiences. I stayed in an apartment that included an open-plan bedroom, kitchen, and lounge, complete with a dishwasher and washing machine/dryer. The facilities were incredible: a gym, yoga classes, and a rooftop restaurant and bar, all wrapped up in a clean, modern design. With multiple locations across France, it’s like travelling with all the practicality and comforts of home.

Special thank you to Marseille Tourisme for their help in guiding High Tea Society to discover the sweetest addresses.

High Tea at Brackendale Tea Co, Blackwood, SA 28 Sep 11:44 PM (28 days ago)

High Tea at Brackendale Tea Co

Owner Anthea Brockbank has brought her passion for baking and tea to life creating the tearoom with an undoubtably traditional feel. Details have not been missed at the Brackendale Tea Co; from the traditional fine bone China trios to the gold cutlery to the background music being played.

Anthea has been surrounded by tea most of her life visiting tea regions from India to the United Kingdon. She has immersed herself in tea traditions, tea making and how to serve tea.

My guest has previously been to Brackendale Tea Co on numerous occasions. She said they do the best tea in South Australia, as they serve it correctly with the infuser and timer. You know when to rest the tea creating the perfect taste.

They make their own tea with over sixty blends to purchase from choc mint to organic wild lavender to sassy hot black ginger.

On the day we were served Tier 3, Brackendale’s Royal Tea which included a Glass of non-alcoholic Etch Sparkling, warm Brazilian Cheese Puffs, Finger Sandwiches, Scones, homemade Jam and Cream, Petit Fours and tea and coffee.

Tier 3 began with Etch sparkling which was refreshing without any added sugar and alcohol. It was served with Brazilian Cheese Puffs. I cannot remember the last time I had cheese puffs. They were very cheesy and smooth. Delicious!

Anthea knew my passion for the traditional butter and milk scone and made them especially for the day. They were soft, buttery and fluffy served with their homemade raspberry preserve and vanilla whipped cream.

The chocolate brownie was dark and moist. I really liked the richness and bitterness of the cocoa compared to others that taste cakey and milky.

I do love a lemon tart and this one from Brackendale Tea Co did not disappoint with the tartness of the lemon shining through in a refreshing way.

The savoury portion of the high tea were finger sandwiches which were fresh, with tasty traditional fillings.

All the items except for the macarons were made onsite fresh with local South Australian ingredients.
It was an exceptional High Tea with excellent service. I look forward to coming back very soon to support the family-owned small business. I will slowly work my way through the extensive tea menu!

A Fresh Take on Spring Afternoon Tea at The Langham, Melbourne 26 Sep 12:31 AM (last month)

Spring Afternoon Tea at The Langham, Melbourne

Located on the podium level, Aria Bar & Lounge overlooks the hotel’s grand marble staircase and glittering crystal chandeliers. There is a live piano player tucked discreetly at the end of the lounge, filling the room with soft melodies. On our visit, the pianist shifted into Happy Birthday as cakes with glowing candles were brought out to those celebrating, and surrounding tables joined in, creating a warm, convivial atmosphere, the perfect setting for a Saturday or weekend indulgence.

This season’s menu, designed by Executive Pastry Chef Markus Bohm, blends tradition with refreshing spring flavours.

Spring Afternoon Tea at The Langham, Melbourne

The savoury tier begins with three sandwich selections. The chicken, celery, chives and lemon thyme on spinach bread offers a light herbaceous profile, the lemon thyme lifting the chicken filling nicely. The Asian coriander, lime and tuna on white bread was bright and zesty, the citrus notes balancing the richness of the tuna. The grapefruit and cucumber on tomato bread was perhaps the most refreshing of the trio, delivering a clean, palate-cleansing bite. While the bread leaned a little on the dry side, the fillings themselves were flavourful and well thought out.

Warm savouries added a touch of comfort. The arancini with Cumberland sausage, rosemary, onions and mustard mayo was hearty and satisfying, with the rosemary adding depth. The grilled haloumi, truffle mushroom and onion jam roulade was moreish and earthy, the truffle marrying beautifully with the sweetness of the onion jam.

No Langham afternoon tea would be complete without scones. Served warm, the vanilla scone offered a delicate fragrance and light sweetness, while the raisin scone, though not usually my preference, won me over with its wonderfully soft texture and subtle, fruity flavour. Both were presented with house-made strawberry preserve and indulgent clotted cream on the side, allowing you to add as much of each as you desire for a perfectly classic pairing.

The dessert tier was the true highlight of the afternoon. The strawberry and lime turret featured a soft lime cloud top over a vibrant strawberry base, offering a refreshing citrus lift. The apricot and peach délice tart, adorned with a touch of gold leaf, felt particularly luxurious. The combination of apricot and peach was light yet layered, while the gold detailing elevated the presentation.

The standout of the afternoon was the rose and lychee dome, exquisitely fragrant, silky smooth, and infused with an elegant rose flavour that lingered on the palate without overpowering. Delicate yet indulgent, this dessert was as much a visual delight as it was a culinary one.

Equally striking was the Amarascata cherry. Glossy and red, glazed to a mirror shine, it was designed to look just like a real cherry, complete with a tempered green chocolate stem. Cutting through the glossy shell revealed a rich chocolate mousse centre, indulgent and velvety, a showstopper in both presentation and taste.

Guests can enjoy a glass of Taittinger Cuvée Prestige or an alcohol-free alternative, Kylie Minogue Sparkling Rosé, alongside bottomless barista coffee and the Ronnefeldt tea selection. I opted for the Masala Chai, a robust black Assam tea infused with warming spices, the perfect complement to the sweetness of the desserts.

The Spring Afternoon Tea at The Langham, Melbourne is a refined yet inviting experience, one that balances luxurious surroundings with a sense of occasion. From the live piano music to the thoughtful seasonal menu, it’s an ideal way to celebrate, indulge, or simply escape for a couple of hours in the heart of Melbourne.

Vanilla scone and raisin scone with double cream & strawberry preserve

Escape to Saint-Tropez High Tea at Haven Lounge, The Westin Perth 25 Sep 12:37 PM (last month)

Escape to Saint-Trope High Tea

Nestled in the heart of Perth’s CBD, the Haven Lounge at The Westin Perth has long been a favourite among High Tea Society reviewers. With its earthy tones, plush seating, and modern elegance, it’s the kind of place where you feel instantly special just by walking in. The ambience is stylish without being stuffy, perfect for a leisurely afternoon of indulgence.

The new Escape to Saint-Tropez High Tea curated by Pastry Chef Sarah Rix, who kindly walked us through the menu with the kind of passion that makes you want to eat everything twice.

Let’s start with the savouries, shall we? The Beef Daube in puff pastry was a standout. Slow-cooked to perfection, rich, and wrapped in flaky pastry that practically melted in the mouth. It’s comfort food with a couture twist.

The Smoked salmon roulade with dill crème fraîche and roe was delicate and fresh, while the Chicken, tarragon and capers sandwich added a herby zing.

And then there’s the Pissaladière, a caramelised onion and anchovy tart that’s a nod to Provençal tradition. Anchovy sceptics, be brave. It’s worth it.

And now, the part you’ve been waiting for: the sweets. Each one looks like it belongs on a Côte d’Azur postcard.

The Tarte Tropézienne, a brioche soaked in orange blossom syrup and filled with orange cream, was the pièce de résistance. Fragrant, fluffy, and utterly indulgent.

The Almond praline with vanilla crémeux was rich and nutty, while the Lemon and lavender financier offered a floral, citrusy lift.

The White peach macaron was as delicate as it sounds. And let’s not forget the fig scone, served with whipped cream. Petite in size but big on flavour, it was fresh, fruity, and a delightful twist on the traditional.

All high tea options come with unlimited tea from Seven Seas Tea in Margaret River and coffee. You can also upgrade your experience with a glass of Rosé or Moet & Chandon.

We’ve reviewed many high teas across Perth and the Haven Lounge consistently ranks among our top picks. The seasonal menus keep things fresh, the service is impeccable, and the setting is ideal.

The Escape to Saint-Tropez High Tea is a delightful blend of French flair and Western Australian hospitality. It’s a little slice of luxury without the jet lag, and frankly, who needs the hassle of airport security when you’ve got orange blossom brioche and fig scones right here in Perth?

Escape to Saint-Tropez High Tea is available at The Westin Perth’s Haven Lounge until the 9th of November 2025.
