It was a bit of a gray day, but the view still looked spectacular.
The husband. Musing over the last time we stood in this exact spot three months earlier.
Elegant china.
Tasty savories - scones, curry triangles and cheese tarts.
The sandwiches and delicacies came wrapped in a napkin to protect them from the predatory kookaburras. The waitstaff told us they liked to target the sandwiches... we laughed and started to eat up. True to the warning, a kookaburra swooped in and snatched a sandwich off a plate and took off before I caught a good look at it. Stealthy little bugger. Seriously impressive sandwich-stealing ninja skills.
The sandwiches - a mere moment before the kookaburra stole one.
Beautiful teas in polished tea pots. Mine was called "blueberry muffin" and indeed tasted like its namesake.
A very civilised way to spend a public holiday.
Amazing view from Georges Head.
Ooh, gunners barracjs has been at the top of my 'high tea' list for so long! I can't wait to try it! How scarey that the kookaburra swooped in and snatched the sandwich!
ReplyDeleteOh man this looks amazing, I'm a sucker for high tea. Thanks for the warning about the kookaburra!
ReplyDeleteBoth locations of The Tea Room are wonderful and Gunners' Barracks have beautiful views to boot. Congrats on your recent marriage!
ReplyDeleteOh wow! I'm always on the look out for good high tea venues in Sydney (The Observatory is great).
ReplyDeleteGreat review, I'm adding this to my ever-growing list. And congrats on your mini-anniversary!
The view there is pretty spectacular! Did you get wedding flashbacks whilst you were there?
ReplyDelete@Forager, I did get flashbacks! It was lovely being there and reliving it :)
ReplyDelete@Christie - thanks! It's my fave high tea, make sure to book far in advance and ask for a balcony seat.
@mademoiselle delicieuse - thank you! I agree, both locations are fantastic.
@Rose - I'm only sad I missed photographing him! Be prepared and you'll get fab photos.
@Betty - it has a long wait list, so book now! The kookaburras are worth the visit alone ;)
