Getting High Tea Right

There's no walk-in trade at Yugen Tea Bar. The South Yarra room on Chapel Street opens purely for private bookings, which means a high tea party never shares the dark, sculptural space with strangers, and the in-house kitchen and bar take care of everything served. The essentials for organisers:

High tea arrives as a shared mix of savoury and sweet bites, a modern spin on the tiered stand.
Up to 20 can sit down together, or the room can be set for a cocktail-style crowd.
Everything edible and drinkable comes from LK Hospitality Group's in-house team.
Half-hour add-on sessions cover pastry, oysters, a cheese-and-tea match or matcha and Japanese tea.
Each event is planned one-on-one, and a walk-through of the venues can be arranged first.

Chapel Street threads through South Yarra, Prahran and Windsor; at number 605, Yugen Tea Bar shares its home with Yugen Dining and Omnia Bistro, and suits showers, birthdays and small team celebrations in the Inner South.

A sit-down set-up for up to 20 keeps everyone together for toasts at a shower or birthday.
The cocktail layout suits guests who would rather wander and chat.
In both, the savoury and sweet bites are shared rather than plated individually.
The menu and drinks are settled with the venue's own team ahead of the day.

Half-hour workshops to bookend the tea

Matcha and Japanese tea – a quiet, tasting-led opener.
A cheese-and-tea match for guests who like comparing notes.
Oyster shucking basics, for a more boisterous hands-on moment.
A pastry session alongside the kitchen team, a good shared task for a bridal shower or work group.

Common Questions About High Tea Suppliers

Will other guests be at Yugen Tea Bar during our high tea?

No. The tea bar doesn't run as a cafe at all, so each booking has the room exclusively.

How large a high tea can Yugen host?

Seated, up to 20 guests; for a looser feel the room can be arranged cocktail-style so people move around.

Can we add an activity to a South Yarra high tea?

Yes – four guided themes of about 30 minutes each: matcha and Japanese tea, a tea and cheese pairing, an oyster-shucking introduction, or pastry with the kitchen team.

How do I start planning a high tea at Yugen Tea Bar?

Send an enquiry via the website form or the venue's email; the events brochure is downloadable online, and the events team shapes the booking with you from there.
