Updated: 3 days ago

Last updated: August 2026. I've personally visited many of the venues featured below and regularly update this guide as new high teas launch across Brisbane.


Looking for the best high tea in Brisbane? As the creator of High Cup of Tea, I've spent years visiting and reviewing high tea experiences across the city. Whether you're celebrating a special occasion or simply craving warm scones and a proper pot of tea, these are the venues I'd confidently recommend. Jump to:

Best high teas in Brisbane (my picks)


After visiting dozens of high teas across Brisbane, these are the experiences I'd recommend first depending on the occasion. 🏆 Best bridal shower: Belle Époque at Emporium Hotel


Perfect for: Bridal showers, hens parties and anyone wanting a touch of Parisian elegance.

Where: South Bank If someone asked me where to book a bridal shower in Brisbane, Belle Époque at Emporium Hotel South Bank would be my first suggestion. It delivers luxury with a distinctly feminine charm. Think elegant interiors, beautiful pastries and the kind of atmosphere that practically calls for a glass of Champagne.

The hotel's talented pastry chefs create exquisite sweets that are almost too pretty to eat, balanced with delicate savoury bites and warm scones. It's also one of my favourite places to revisit throughout the year, with creative seasonal high teas for occasions like spring, Christmas and beyond giving you a reason to come back again and again. Finish your visit with a wander through South Bank Parklands, or take in the city views from the Wheel of Brisbane before heading home.

🎨 Most creative high tea: Living Room Bar at W Brisbane

Perfect for: A contemporary high tea with creative flavours and stylish city views. Where: Brisbane CBD If you've been to a few traditional high teas and are looking for something completely different, this is where I'd book. Living Room Bar at W Brisbane doesn't just change the menu with the seasons; it often turns high tea into an interactive experience. I've decorated my own mini Mother's Day cake, painted an edible Easter egg and left wondering what they'll dream up next. That's exactly why I keep going back.

🧸 Best high tea for kids: Stamford Plaza Brisbane

Perfect for: Families, themed celebrations and introducing little ones to high tea. Where: Brisbane CBD

If you're introducing little ones to high tea, Stamford Plaza is where I'd book. While the hotel serves a beautifully traditional high tea year-round, it's the hotel's spectacular themed events that really set it apart. I've been to their Alice in Wonderland high tea, complete with costumed characters, live entertainment and a generous buffet, and it felt more like stepping into a storybook than sitting down for afternoon tea.

The relaxed format also makes it one of my favourite choices for families. Unlike a traditional plated high tea, kids can get up, explore and choose their own treats, making it a brilliant first high tea experience.


🫖 Best traditional high tea: Shingle Inn City Hall


Perfect for: Traditionalists, city explorers and anyone looking for a classic high tea with a side of nostalgia. Where: Brisbane CBD

If you're looking for a classic afternoon tea in one of Brisbane's most iconic buildings, Shingle Inn is hard to beat. Housed inside the heritage-listed Brisbane City Hall, it's the kind of place where the atmosphere is just as memorable as the afternoon tea itself. Think stained glass windows, walnut-panelled booths, old-fashioned sugar bowls that signal to the wait staff whether your table has been served, and wait staff dressed in traditional black-and-white maid uniforms.

The menu sticks to the traditional favourites (finger sandwiches, warm scones and sweet treats), but for me, the real highlight is stepping back in time. If you're visiting with little ones, the Teddy Bear Afternoon Tea adds a fun touch, making this Brisbane institution just as charming for kids as it is for adults. To round out your visit, book the fascinating Clock Tower Tour inside City Hall and enjoy panoramic views over Brisbane from one of the city's most iconic landmarks.

🧺 Best takeaway high tea: Dandelion & Driftwood

Perfect for: Homemade treats, cosy afternoons and local hidden gems. Where: Hendra If I'm organising a picnic, celebrating at home or surprising someone with afternoon tea, Dandelion & Driftwood's take-away option is my go-to recommendation.

The quality is every bit as good as dining in, with generous homemade treats that travel beautifully. It's one of the few takeaway high teas I'd confidently recommend without hesitation.


🏛️ Best Brisbane experience: Patina Restaurant at Customs House


Perfect for: Visitors to Brisbane, anniversaries and anyone wanting an iconic riverside setting. Where: Brisbane CBD

If I had interstate visitors who wanted to experience a quintessential Brisbane high tea, Patina Restaurant at Customs House is exactly where I'd take them. Sitting beneath the building's grand copper dome with sweeping river views, it offers a setting that's difficult to match anywhere else in the city.

The menu strikes a lovely balance between classic favourites and refined seasonal touches. For me, it's the combination of heritage architecture, river views and polished service that makes this experience so memorable. Of course, these are just my personal favourites. Keep scrolling to explore every high tea in Brisbane by category and find the perfect fit for your next celebration.


Luxury hotel high teas in Brisbane

If you're celebrating a milestone, these are the high teas I'd be looking at first. Brisbane's luxury hotels and elegant restaurants deliver polished service, beautiful settings and the sort of experience that turns afternoon tea into an occasion.

Bacchus at Rydges South Bank


Perfect for: Food lovers and milestone celebrations. Where: South Bank Bacchus at Rydges South Bank has become one of Brisbane's benchmark high tea experiences, and for good reason. If you're celebrating something special and want every detail to feel considered, this is one of the easiest recommendations I can make.

It's elegant without feeling intimidating and one of those places that leaves you planning your next visit before you've finished the last scone.

Motion Dining at Brisbane Marriott

Perfect for: Sophisticated celebrations and elevated city dining. Where: Brisbane CBD

Motion Dining brings a contemporary touch to the traditional high tea. Located inside Brisbane Marriott Hotel, the experience combines elegant presentation with polished service, making it a wonderful choice when you're looking to celebrate without venturing far from the CBD.

Lennons Restaurant and Bar at Hyatt Regency Brisbane

Perfect for: CBD catch-ups, stylish afternoons and modern luxury. Where: Brisbane CBD

Right in the heart of Queen Street Mall, Lennons Restaurant and Bar at Hyatt Regency Brisbane offers an elegant escape from the city's bustle. One of the reasons I keep coming back is the way Lennons embraces seasonal high teas throughout the year. Whether it's spring blooms, festive Christmas treats or limited-edition themes, there's usually something new to discover.

Whether you're celebrating a special occasion or simply taking a break from shopping, it's an easy choice for a luxurious afternoon in the city.

The Inchcolm by Ovolo

Perfect for: Boutique luxury, intimate celebrations and Art Deco charm. Where: Spring Hill

The Inchcolm by Ovolo feels unlike anywhere else in Brisbane. Housed within a beautifully restored heritage building, this boutique hotel pairs old-world character with contemporary style, creating a high tea experience that's both elegant and wonderfully intimate.

If boutique hotels are more your style than grand luxury chains, The Inchcolm feels wonderfully intimate.

The Garden Room

Perfect for: Long lunches, stylish celebrations and garden-inspired elegance. Where: Roma Street Parkland

Filled with natural light and surrounded by the lush greenery of Roma Street Parkland, The Garden Room is one of Brisbane's prettiest places to enjoy high tea. It's the perfect excuse to spend a leisurely morning wandering through the gardens before settling in for an elegant afternoon tea.

It's a lovely choice for those who appreciate a timeless afternoon tea experience in an understated setting.

Plates Restaurant at View Brisbane

Perfect for: River views, relaxed luxury and celebrating by the water. Where: Hamilton

As its name suggests, View Brisbane's greatest asset is its outlook. Overlooking the river but away from the bustle of the CBD, this elegant hotel provides a peaceful setting for high tea away from the city's busiest dining precincts.

Pairing classic favourites with attentive service and leafy river views, it's an excellent option for anyone wanting a more relaxed luxury experience.


Best heritage and historic high teas in Brisbane

Strangers' Restaurant at Queensland Parliament House


Perfect for: History lovers, traditionalists and celebrating a special occasion. Where: Brisbane CBD

There aren't many places where you can enjoy high tea inside one of Queensland's most important heritage buildings. Strangers' Restaurant in Parliament House combines grand architecture with a traditional afternoon tea that feels wonderfully timeless.

To make the experience even more memorable, pair your booking with a free guided tour of Parliament House. It's a fascinating way to explore one of Brisbane's most significant buildings before settling in for afternoon tea.


The Kitchen at Old Government House


Perfect for: Garden lovers, history enthusiasts and relaxed weekend catch-ups. Where: Brisbane CBD

Old Government House offers a quieter, more relaxed take on high tea. Set within one of Brisbane's most significant heritage buildings at QUT, it's an easy place to lose an afternoon, especially if you follow your tea with a stroll through the surrounding gardens and riverside precinct.

Historic Ormiston House

Perfect for: Garden lovers, history enthusiasts and leisurely afternoons. Where: Ormiston

Historic Ormiston House approaches afternoon tea a little differently. While Devonshire tea is available most weekends, full high tea events are reserved for special occasions like Christmas in July, spring celebrations and other seasonal events throughout the year.

The experience is well worth planning around. After your high tea, explore the beautifully preserved homestead, wander the gardens or let the kids burn off some energy on the expansive lawns overlooking Moreton Bay.

Reid's Place

Perfect for: Romantic celebrations, intimate catch-ups and garden lovers. Where: Scarborough

Hidden among lush cottage gardens, Reid's Place has become something of a local favourite for its warm hospitality and charming setting. The high tea combines homemade sweet and savoury treats with an atmosphere that feels relaxed, personal and far removed from Brisbane's larger hotel venues. It's the kind of place where you can happily lose track of time over another pot of tea. It's one of those places where you arrive for high tea and end up staying much longer than planned.

The Chef's Manor | Anstead

Perfect for: Foodies, special occasions and those looking for something a little different. Where: Anstead

Set inside an elegant private manor, The Chef's Manor elevates high tea into a refined dining experience. Expect beautifully presented savoury bites, handcrafted pastries and attentive service in an intimate setting that feels exclusive without being overly formal.

If the food is just as important to you as the setting, The Chef's Manor deserves a place near the top of your list.

Wellington Point Farmhouse

Perfect for: Relaxed weekends, bayside outings and rustic charm. Where: Wellington Point Combining historic character with a welcoming café atmosphere, Wellington Point Farmhouse is a lovely choice for those looking to escape the city's bustle. Pair your high tea with a browse through the on-site farm shop, where you'll find locally grown strawberries, fresh produce and handmade goodies before taking a stroll along the nearby waterfront.


Best boutique high teas in Brisbane

Sometimes it's the smaller venues that leave the biggest impression. From charming cottage cafés to intimate tearooms and independently owned favourites, these boutique high teas offer warm hospitality, homemade treats and plenty of character. If you'd rather skip the grand hotels in favour of somewhere with a more personal touch, start here.

Room with Roses

Perfect for: Traditional high tea lovers, city shoppers and celebrating special occasions. Where: Brisbane CBD

Hidden upstairs in Brisbane Arcade, Room with Roses feels like stepping back in time. This long-running favourite has earned a loyal following for its classic high tea, complete with delicate finger sandwiches, warm scones, and handcrafted sweets, all served on vintage china.

After browsing the heritage arcades and boutique shops below, settle in for a leisurely afternoon that feels worlds away from the bustle of Queen Street Mall.


The Magnolia Kitchen Brisbane

Perfect for: Pretty pastries, intimate celebrations and sweet tooths. Where: Ascot Magnolia Kitchen is proof that the smallest venues often deliver the biggest surprises. If beautifully decorated cakes are your weakness, this charming café is well worth seeking out. Freshly baked scones, thoughtfully prepared savouries and picture-perfect sweets come together in a setting that feels personal rather than polished.

Whether you're celebrating a birthday or simply catching up with friends, it's the sort of place where homemade touches make all the difference.

French & Mor Cafe

Perfect for: Parisian-inspired afternoons, stylish catch-ups and lovers of French pastries. Where: Milton If you've always loved the idea of high tea in Paris, French & Mor Cafe comes pretty close without leaving Brisbane. Expect buttery pastries, delicate sweets and beautifully presented savoury treats served in an elegant café setting that feels effortlessly chic.

If you love your high tea with a distinctly French twist, this boutique favourite is well worth a visit.

Forget Me Not Café

Perfect for: Garden lovers, baby showers and relaxed celebrations. Where: Graceville

Forget Me Not Café is one of those places that encourages you to slow down. With charming décor, homemade treats and a welcoming atmosphere, it's the sort of café where catching up over another pot of tea never feels rushed.

Devon Pixies

Perfect for: Country-style baking, relaxed weekends and catching up with friends. Where: Dayboro

Devon Pixies embraces everything people love about a traditional tearoom. Expect freshly baked scones, homemade cakes and classic finger sandwiches served in a cosy setting where the focus is firmly on comfort and hospitality. It's a lovely choice if you appreciate simple pleasures done well.

Covent Garden

Perfect for: Floral surrounds, elegant celebrations and Instagram-worthy afternoons. Where: West End

With my British roots, I've always had a soft spot for Covent Garden. Inspired by London's famous dining and entertainment precinct, this West End café brings a little English charm to Brisbane with floral surrounds, affordable high tea and a wonderfully relaxed atmosphere. Better still, it's only a short walk from Soak Bathhouse, making it easy to turn your high tea into a wonderfully indulgent afternoon.

Le Bay Café

Perfect for: Bayside catch-ups, relaxed afternoons and coastal charm. Where: Wynnum

Just a short stroll from the waterfront, Le Bay Café is my local go-to when I'm craving a relaxed high tea by the bay. Right beside Bayside Cinemas, it's easy to pair afternoon tea with a movie afterwards.

The Captain's Parrot Café

Dovetail Social

Perfect for: Modern café lovers, creative menus and casual celebrations. Where: Highgate Park and Norman Park

Dovetail Social offers a fresh take on traditional high tea, but its biggest draw is that the entire café is gluten-free. If dietary requirements have ever made high tea feel off limits, this stylish neighbourhood favourite proves you don't have to compromise on flavour or presentation.

Sassafras of Paddington

Perfect for: Scenic drives, cosy afternoons and old-fashioned hospitality. Where: Paddington

A visit to Sassafras of Paddington is as much about the destination as the high tea itself. Nestled away from the city, it's the sort of place where homemade treats, friendly service and a slower pace of life take centre stage. Come hungry, take your time and enjoy the drive—this is one of those places that's worth making a day of.

FAQs about high tea in Brisbane


What is the best high tea in Brisbane?

If you're celebrating a special occasion, I'd recommend starting with Bacchus at Rydges South Bank or Belle Époque at Emporium Hotel. For something more traditional, Room with Roses and Shingle Inn City Hall are excellent choices, while W Brisbane is my pick if you're after a creative twist.

How much does high tea cost in Brisbane?

Most high teas in Brisbane cost between $45 and $80 per person, although luxury hotels and Champagne packages can exceed $100. If you're looking for great value, there are plenty of boutique cafés and community venues offering high tea for less.

Which Brisbane high teas cater for dietary requirements?

Many Brisbane venues now offer gluten-free, vegetarian and vegan high tea options with advance notice. Dovetail Social is a standout for gluten-free bites, while most luxury hotels can accommodate dietary requirements if advised when booking.

Yes. Most venues require bookings, particularly on weekends and during popular occasions like Mother's Day, Easter and Christmas. I'd recommend booking at least two to four weeks ahead for luxury hotels and themed events.

What's the difference between high tea and afternoon tea?

Despite the name, most venues in Brisbane actually serve afternoon tea, featuring finger sandwiches, scones and pastries. Traditionally, high tea was a more substantial evening meal eaten at a high dining table, but in Australia the term "high tea" has become the most commonly used name for the experience.

Stamford Plaza regularly hosts themed family high teas that are fantastic for children, while Shingle Inn City Hall offers its Teddy Bear Afternoon Tea. Many venues also offer children's menus during school holidays and special events.

Belle Époque at Emporium Hotel is my top pick thanks to its elegant interiors, Champagne upgrades and beautifully presented pastries. W Brisbane and Bacchus are also popular choices for celebrations.

Are there any takeaway high teas in Brisbane?

Absolutely. Whether you're planning a picnic, celebrating at home or surprising someone special, several Brisbane venues now offer takeaway high tea packages. Dandelion & Driftwood is one of my personal favourites, but there are plenty of other great options across the city too.

👉 Read my full guide to the best takeaway high teas in Brisbane for my favourite picks and where to order.


What's the dress code for high tea?

Most Brisbane high tea venues are smart casual, although luxury hotels tend to encourage guests to dress up for the occasion. While there's rarely a formal dress code, afternoon tea is the perfect excuse to wear something a little more special, particularly if you're celebrating.
