The Tea Room @ QVB

One of the thing that I really wanted to do while in Sydney was to try the high tea and since we have not much of agenda for Friday the last full day in Sydney before heading back to Brisbane, decided to book for tea at The Tea Room @ QVB. Heard good reviews of the place and was looking forward to the experience.

Thach has to be dragged to afternoon tea with me as the idea of spending a good amount of money for tea is too much of a decadent lifestyle for him. But since no one else is there, he pretty much does not have any choice! 

The interior of The Tea Room is exquisite. The decoration reminds me of the classic Victorian style where I wished I was dressed in high waisted full skirt with collar to enjoy tea in such a beautiful environment. The wait staff has the air of grace without being pretentiously pompous.

The tea set used was beautiful, almost too pretty to be eaten out of. One can imagine an afternoon on the lawn sipping on tea and nibbling on the pastries and cakes and scones. But I would rather choose my coffee over tea, sorry even during afternoon tea! I think the wait staff was a bit amused by this, but of course, nothing was uttered. The food was overall good. Especially love the scones that were warm and added with the clotted cream & preserve it was just wunnerful. The macarons were of course, not as tasty as Zumbo's but the rest of the pastries were rather delightful as well.

Quaint china, ain't it?

overall, a wonderful experience of relaxation after a day out roaming in the city and I think that the husband secretly indulged in that experience too!
