Celebrate your special occasion with friends and family with these top 5 high tea experiences in Perth.

  • The George - 216 St Georges Terrace; (08) 6161 6662

    Adults, in groups of up to 30, will enjoy a menu of sweet and savoury delicacies including freshly baked scones with exotic jams and Chantilly cream, French macarons, petit sandwiches and beautifully balanced tartlets.

    A high tea isn't complete without a range of premium teas poured into the finest fine bone china. Take your pick of 8 teas, from peppermint and chamomile from Egypt, green tea with jasmine, handpicked from the Chinese countryside, and masala chai, earl grey, and vanilla, from the lush fields of Ceylon.

  • Peninsula Tea Gardens - Tranby House, 2A Johnson Rd; (08) 92728894
  • The Peninsula is unique amongst the high tea experiences in Perth, with guests escaping the city to enjoy an afternoon in a natural oasis beside the Swan River. The garden setting is inspired by the vast country estates of England and France, but blossoms with Australian native flowers. The dining room is also richly decorated with antiques and artwork.

    The Parisian afternoon high tea continues the social repast introduced during the reign of Queen Victoria in the 19th century.

    Begin with delicately cut sandwiches of ham and egg with dijon, garlic herb chicken with avocado and sour cream, roast beef with horseradish and cream cheese, and the classic combination of smoked salmon with cucumber and dill mayonnaise.

    Continue with warm scones, topped with lashings of strawberry preserve and whipped cream or French-style cakes and petit fours.

    Vegetarian gluten-free selections ensure all guests can indulge.

    Of the 10 teas, highlights are the Kenilworth, a high-grade Orange Pekoe with scents of soft roses, Buddha's Tears with pearls of hand-rolled jasmine and silver needle white tea, and Barbado Dream, a caffeine-free burst of fruits with vanilla..

    Peninsula's high tea is $38.80 on weekdays, $42.80 on weekends with BYO champagne and complimentary corkage.
