High tea with a twist!



I saw this over at MadeByGirl and fell in love! What a vibrant way to enjoy high tea. I adore all the prints in those fabrics and the furniture is divine. In Sydney, our high tea venues tend to be quiet demure and serious. Sydney could do with a touch of this boldness!! Who needs to be boring when life can be this colourful? This is how eating cakes should always be .... Kellie xx

    That's amazing! I'm not sure I could live among all that pattern, but I'd be utterly delighted to visit it.

    Totally Fabulous place. Saw an article in the US mag 'Romantic Homes' (I think) a few months ago. Stunning decor and you can only imagine the food!!!

    I think it's too pink and there are so many elements...I can't distinguish one style, but I love that cup of tea ^.^

    What fun... you are right only the very serious high teas here. Although that is sort of fun too as not your typical Sydney outing. x Julie

    Wow I could pretend I was Alice, & the mad hatter could turn up for tea!!! Would I find a mouse in my tea pot & a rabbit telling me I'm late? Yummy room, love the picks, it would make a great place for a young girls birthday tea party, shame I don't live in Sydney my daughter would have loved it have a great weekend Kellie :)

    Sydney DOES have a wonderful high tea venue - 'the Victoria Rooms' in Darlighurst.
    It may not be as bright and vibrant as your post, but it is an amazing place that I can highly recommend. Like a colonial club with a very cheeky twist. They also have an astrologer who does your chart whilst you sip and munch away on heavenly treats! Worth a try!
