QT Canberra has partnered with Space Kitchen to offer a high tea experience that is both luxurious and whimsical.
Located in the QT Lounge with Lake Burley Griffin and Canberra views, you will indulge in a feast for the senses. Starting with the in-house expertly prepared savoury delights, the selection on the day we visited included wagyu bresaola over potato rosties, duck liver parfait with grilled grapes, beetroot and fennel tarts, poached Queensland prawn sandwiches and LP’s mortadella sandwiches.

The savoury delights are expertly prepared and delicious
The cake trolley tempts you with limitless slices of four cakes from the imagination of Space kitchen. The Black Forest cake is a springy chocolate sponge filled with a rich chocolate mousse balanced by a cherry gel and vanilla crème. The Vegan Biscoff has a rich caramel and Biscoff forward flavour without being overpowering. Space Kitchen has taken strawberries and cream, lemon curd, and blueberry puree and balanced the flavours with a vanilla sponge – the result is the Unicorn; that cake we all knew we wanted but couldn’t quite conjure how to make it into one. The QT’s Signature Red Velvet is a red chocolate sponge filled with cream cheese and vanilla mousse – you will be thankful that you can have an infinite number of slices as you return for a second and third slice.

You will be able to choose from twenty-eight premium loose-leaf teas, each carefully selected to complement the flavors of the food. For those who prefer something a bit more celebratory, you can add a glass of sparkling wine, champagne or tea inspired cocktails with a bottomless upgrade.
