[Brisbane] Decadent high tea at Club Sofitel

Sofitel
249 Turbot Street
Brisbane QLD 4000

High tea available daily from 2pm to 4pm. AUD38 per person.

Host at Club Sofitel located on level 30.

Gastronomic delights presented in an artistic purple tower.

We were served 3 person's share of food. Princess is 4 (and under) and got complimentary food.

City skyline view from level 30.


Bubbly is included with refills, not sure how many times though.

Princess get a glass of juice.


High tea is not completed with a pot of tea.

We were served Ronnefeldt English Breakfast tea. Tasted funny. Macam air longkang, eeyer.

Top left to right: chocolate cup filled with custard and strawberries, cream swan puff and Opera gateau.

Bottom left to right: pistachio macaron, cupcake topped with pashmark (persian fairy floss) and lemon meringue tart.

Savoury, we have sandwiches (egg salad and ham & fig jam) and also scones (plain and raisin) with cream and strawberry jam.

All pastry items were delectable except the puff which is a bit dry and the scones were stone cold.

Especially good was the Opera gateau. Big King ate 2 pieces despite bursting from all the other food. Princess ate most of her share @_@.

I look forward to trying out other high tea offerings in Brisbane.
