Afternoon Tea at The Windsor
THE BRITISH TRADITION OF AFTERNOON TEA IN MELBOURNE
High Tea was traditionally an early evening meal - a supper of sorts - enjoyed in the late evening. Afternoon Tea however, is enjoyed in the afternoon: an assortment of sandwiches, scones and delectable desserts, had naturally, with tea.
A 140 Year Tradition
High Tea places are abound in Melbourne, but The Windsor is the only place to hold the distinction of 140 years of Afternoon Tea service.
We have hosted generations of families in our beautiful historic dining room, and welcome celebrations - from birthdays to bridal showers, baby showers and wedding anniversaries.
Afternoon Tea at The Windsor is served on two silver stands - one of ribbon sandwiches and savouries, and the other of delectable desserts, scones and housemade jam - all made in our pastry kitchens in the morning.
To complement this, we include a flute of sparkling wine or Champagne, and the opportunity to savour several of our specialty teas.
DAYS OF SERVICE: Afternoon Tea is held from midday to 4.30pm, Wednesday to Sunday, and every day of the school holidays.
PRICE: From $89 on weekdays & from $109 on weekends. Children and senior pricing is available.
