The service and food was excellent and the Conservatorium style restaurant is inviting. All of our food items in the high tea were delicious and all of the wait staff were extremely friendly. Canβt fault anything. We were lucky enough to be sitting near the window observing the rosellas on the bird feeder. Will definitely go again on our next trip to Melbourne.We had the best high tea at Fortnums Sassafras on Sunday 14 July.

I loved the fact that it has windows all over and gives a beautiful vintage vibe to dine in. The food was good as well. I would highly recommend to have a booking on public holidays or weekends. Otherwise might have to wait for a while. If they are busy, food might take around 20 minutes to arrive. Strawberry milkshake recommended. Positive vibes, good food, great ambience, friendly staff, ample of parking on and off the restaurant[...]We visited for the first time. Absolutely loved the place.
