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 140 years of Afternoon Tea service. Join us in continuing this ritual – with a twist of the Windsor’s creativity – with our Afternoon Tea in the One Eleven dining room.

The Experience

Step into a world where time slows and take part in Melbourne’s longest-established tea ritual since 1883. Begin your experience with a flute of French sparkling wine – or perhaps Champagne – before settling in to tiers of sweet and savoury treats, ribbon sandwiches, freshly baked scones and your choice between 11 specialty teas, including our exclusive Windsor Blend.

Our menu is seasonal, offering fresh, vibrant selections that change throughout the year. Please check the menu for our current offerings. We also cater to a wide range of dietary needs, including coeliac and gluten-free, ensuring everyone is able to partake in this cherished tradition.

For those joining us on weekends, a sumptuous buffet of cakes, petit desserts and a decadent chocolate fountain will be available for all to enjoy.

Reservations for Afternoon Tea open 150 days in advance. The Windsor reserves the right to change the menu items and prices without prior notice. Advance notice is required for guests with dietary requirements.
