High Tea Melbourne | Afternoon Tea at The Windsor

Afternoon Tea

High Tea experiences are abound in Melbourne, but The Windsor is the only place to hold the distinction of 142 years of Afternoon Tea service. Join us in continuing this ritual – with a twist from the Windsor’s creativity – with our Afternoon Tea in the One Eleven dining room.

The Experience
Includes our dessert buffet on weekends

Step into a world where time slows. Begin with a cocktail - an ESPRESSO MARTINI or our ENGLISH BREAKFAST MARTINI perhaps, before we bring out a glass of CHAMPAGNE or French sparkling wine. The tiered stand follows - sweet and savoury treats, ribbon sandwiches, freshly baked scones and your choice from 11 specialty teas.

Our menu refreshes with the seasons and caters to a variety of dietary needs. On weekends, it includes our DESSERT BUFFET, featuring petite desserts and a decadent CHOCOLATE FOUNTAIN.

EXPLORE THE MENU

Reservations are open 150 days in advance. The Windsor reserves the right to amend the menu and pricing without notice. Please inform us of dietary requirements when booking.

Children's Afternoon Tea
A modern twist on nostalgic Australian childhood favourites

Created specially for guests aged 12 and under, our Children's Afternoon Tea reimagines Australian childhood treats - Golden Gaytime, Wagon Wheels, Milo-inspired delights, Vegemite scrolls and more! 

On weekends, we roll out the DESSERT BUFFET. Petite sweets and a flowing CHOCOLATE FOUNTAIN with strawberries, marshmallows and things to dip in. The chocolate fountain is also available on weekdays during the school holidays.
