THE ART OF AFTERNOON TEA

Sat & Sun | 2:00 pm—4:30pm

Afternoon tea at The Dining Room is a quiet celebration of Sydney’s beauty. As you take your seat by the window, the harbour stretches out before you, the Opera House gleaming in the afternoon light. A glass of champagne marks the moment, while a tiered stand inspired by the Harbour Bridge arrives, filled with delicate pastries and savoury creations.

THE FOOD

Every pastry is shaped, folded and finished entirely by hand, each layer is given the time it needs to become something special. Every morsel is made only for you, crafted to be savoured slowly so its textures and flavours unfold at the same unhurried pace as the afternoon itself.

This is where time seems to slow with every glance outside the window, while conversations drift as easily as the ferries gliding back and forth across the harbour. Champagne, soft light and a tiered stand of delights create a serene escape made for unhurried weekends and effortless indulgence.

THE EXPERIENCE

THE INSPIRATION

Executive Chef Tyson and NSW Pastry Chef of the Year 2025, Patrick, shape afternoon tea around the flavours and stories of Australia’s seasons.

Tyson’s savouries highlight ingredients sourced from local growers and coastal producers, creating a menu that feels distinctly tied to the land and harbour beyond the windows.

Patrick’s pastries echo this philosophy, celebrating native botanicals, seasonal fruit and artisanal Australian dairy in delicately handcrafted forms.

Together, they reinterpret the tradition of afternoon tea as an unmistakably Australian experience—fresh, seasonal and deeply connected to the place it is served.
