High Tea In The Blue Mountains

High teas are a great way of bringing friends and family together for a special—and utterly delicious—treat. The best high teas are ones that serve up drool-worthy food within a relaxed (and child-friendly!) setting, and each of these high teas within the beautiful Blue Mountains region does just that. From the big names like the renowned Hydro Majestic to smaller, quaint offerings, this range of high teas will have you booking a day trip to the Blue Mountains in no time!

1. Hydro Majestic High Tea

The beautiful Hydro Majestic Hotel in Medlow Bath is one of Australia's most iconic historical hotels, and they serve one of Australia's most popular high teas. Thanks to an air of understated elegance, jaw-dropping panoramic views that drink in the stunning Megalong Valley vista and plush, charming furnishings, there really is no better spot for a memorable Blue Mountains high tea. 

Served on a three-tiered silver stand in the stunning Wintergarden Restaurant, a Hydro Majestic high tea comes with a selection of finger sandwiches, petit pastries, freshly baked scones with all the trimmings and a whole lot more. Speciality teas and coffees are unlimited, and there's also the option to upgrade to a glass of something sparkling.

It's no secret that Fairmont Resort & Spa is something of an ellaslist favourite and their delectable high tea options put the cherry on top in our eyes.

The kids' high tea includes a selection of finger sandwiches, mini pancakes, pastries and sweets, with resort icon Dani the Duck.

4. Bygone Beauty's High Tea

High teas don't come much more traditional than those served at Bygone Beauty's Treasure Teapot. A stalwart of the Blue Mountains high tea scene, the range of delicious treats is served by a top-hatted waiter in tails, with all the grace of silver service. Guests will enjoy finely rolled crustless sandwiches, an assortment of homemade tea cakes and biscuits, topped off with homemade baby scones with freshly whipped cream and strawberry jam and accompanied by your choice of house tea or coffee. For a 'supreme' experience, the Traditional High Tea Supreme comes with bubbly in crystal flutes upon arrival with mini quiches, sausage rolls and vegetarian roulades, in addition to the above. Yum!

Oh, and FYI, Bygone Beauty's offer a BYO champagne option for just $3.30 corkage per person—which makes for an ultra-decadent experience!
