Mother’s day is just around the corner, so we’ve rounded up Brisbane’s best high teas your mum is bound to love.
Because everyone knows the best gift you can buy is one you can eat.
W Brisbane | Brisbane CBD
Pink, pink and MORE pink! The W Brisbane’s ‘wonder woman’ themed high tea is the perfect way to celebrate the wonder woman in your life. Indulge in red velvet cupcakes, pink scones and even throwback to the old days of proudly showing off your terrible artwork with a ‘paint your own’ light and creamy buttermilk bavarois sablé tart.
Wash it down with a glass of Veuve Clicquot Rosé Champagne and a special ‘Wonder Woman’ cocktail topped with Chambord whipped foam!
Tickets are $125pp and are available here.
Emporium Hotel | South Bank
Make Mum feel like the queen she is with an afternoon of sweet and savoury treats at Emporium Hotel. Choose between the indulgent Belle Epoque or the classic Piano Bar, and treat her (and you!) to truffle chicken and smoked salmon sandwiches, followed by scones, caramelised pear tarts and a gold inspired vanilla madeleine with caramel chocolate glaze. Because your mum is gold.
A wide range of tea, coffee, wines and cocktails are also on offer including Emporium’s special ‘Mum’s Holiday’ cocktail made with guava nectar, coconut water, white rum, coco loco, passion fruit puree and passion fruit liqueur.
Tickets are from $60pp and you can secure yours here.
Patina Customs House | CBD
It doesn’t get more glamorous than high tea at the beautiful heritage listed Customs House. But, if you can’t celebrate Mother’s Day on Sunday 8th, don’t worry, as this gourmet high tea is available every Sunday.
Munch on dainty smoked salmon blinis with sour cream and salmon pearls, a capsicum, eggplant, zucchini, basil and goats cheese roulade, mini Queensland spanner crab and celery buns, and assorted handcrafted petite macarons.
