Mad Hatter's High Tea at Stamford Plaza | Cnr Margaret & Edward Streets, BRISBANE QLD 4000
Mum
came to visit me last week, and with Easter just around the corner, I
thought it would be a wonderful idea to take her to Stamford Plaza
for their Mad Hatter's High Tea.
Inspired
by Alice in Wonderland, the two-hour high tea starts at 3.30pm during
the Easter holiday period and is held in the hotel's lobby, which is
probably not the best location if you are after a relaxing and
enchanting affair, as there is a constant flow of passersby.
I
was really looking forward to the “down the rabbit hole”
experience but it was unfortunately nowhere near as good as I had
expected.
The
extremely slow service was paired with average food, which included
coloured sandwiches, cracked macarons, two easter chocolate eggs that
could easily be bought in packets from your local supermarket, cold
pea soup and two little bottles of pink lemonade. We waited 15
minutes to get someone's attention so that we could ask for the tea
menu. Tea was poured into our cups, but we weren't allowed to keep
the teapot at our table, which meant that to get the cups refilled,
we had to get the wait staff's attention again and eventually, we
just gave up as our waitress had a less than friendly look on her
face.
So
yes, at $49 per person, I was less than impressed with the high tea
experience at Stamford Plaza.
Total
Bunnie Dollars Spent: $98.
Think it all looks pretty good.
