Getting High Tea Right

Patina is the restaurant inside Customs House, the heritage-listed building on Queen Street owned by the University of Queensland. Its Champagne High Tea is set up for birthdays, baby showers and long catch-ups.

What the Champagne High Tea at Patina includes:

Each guest gets a glass of Taittinger Champagne, plus espresso coffee or a French tea.
The savoury course brings canapés and ribbon sandwiches, followed by buttermilk scones with jam and mascarpone chantilly.
A tier of petite desserts and macarons finishes the sitting, which runs for about 90 minutes.
Terrace tables look across the Brisbane River to the Story Bridge.
The price starts from $92 per person, paid in full when booking.

Customs House also has private function rooms with banquet menus, which suit a bigger celebration than a high tea table.

On Tuesdays the high tea starts at 3pm.
From Wednesday to Sunday there is a morning sitting around 10:30am or 11am and an afternoon sitting around 2:45pm or 3pm.
Bookings need 24 hours' notice.
Ask for a terrace table if the river view matters to the guest of honour.
