This grand old historic Mosman mansion opens its doors to those looking for a spot of high tea, and they do it suitably well. The resident chef diligently talks guests through the savoury and sweet selections, most of which nod towards high tea classics. The savoury options change daily, and on our visit little mouthfuls of truffled risotto and mini smoked salmon brioches go down a treat. Even the classic cucumber sandwich gets an update with a light layer creme fraiche spread thinly on house-baked rye bread. The scones are light and fluffy with a hint of vanilla bean and the sweets including a passionfruit and chocolate mousse, macaroons and fruit tarts are all fresh and perfectly proportioned. Then there’s the tea, of course, with 38 selections on offer. Whether you sit inside the historic walls of Boronia Tea Room or take a seat on the veranda, there’s a good chance you’ll leave with a smile on your face.

High tea at the Radisson Blue is an elegant, subdued affair. There are no hen’s parties getting rowdy on sparkling here. It’s a hushed, accessible space where you can recover from a day in the city, or fortify yourself before one begins loansolution.com/payday-loans-co. Sink into a plush green armchair built for two and gaze out the enormous arched windows as one of the ten, traditional Twinings loose leaf blends brews in silver pots on your table. Service is eager and catering for dietary restrictions is especially easy as all the cakelets on the top tier of the slate tea stand are gluten free. That means tart raspberry jelly, lemon curd tarts and chocolate beetroot cake are all fair game. Sandwich triangles come with cucumber or roast beef and salmon roses arrive on soft white bread. It’s familiar, rich and filling fare. You’ll only feel the gluten-free pinch with the flat, crumbly scones that are not match for their tall, golden, wheat-based counterparts.
