There’s something truly special about indulging in a beautifully presented high tea in the lead up to Easter, and the Pan Pacific Melbourne delivers exactly that with their Easter Chocolate Indulgence High Tea.

Held in the private Pacific Club Lounge on level 4, the experience begins with a warm welcome from the attentive staff. The lounge itself offers a refined setting perfect for a intimate and unhurried catch-up. With views of Melbourne’s skyline, comfortable seating, and a layout that gives each group plenty of space, it felt like a true escape from the city’s bustle.

We were never rushed. Our hosts offered the perfect balance between attentiveness and allowing us the freedom to savour each moment. Between the TWG tea (my personal favourite!) and a glass of Veuve Clicquot, we happily lost track of time.

The presentation of the High Tea is stunning. The monogrammed three-tiered stand and bespoke tableware designed especially for the Pacific Club Lounge elevate the entire experience. They have really thought of every detail.

As for the food, there were plenty of Easter-themed delights to savour. The standout for me on the sweet side was the pink apple, rose and frangipane bunny – whimsical and delicate. On the savoury end, the Serrano ham croquette with truffle aioli and a crispy Serrano shard was an absolute flavour bomb.

If I were to make one small suggestion (and this is very much personal preference), I’d love the option of a plain scone alongside the flavoured variety. And while I appreciate the artistry of white chocolate, I’d have enjoyed a touch more dark or milk chocolate across the petit fours.

Families will be pleased to know there’s also a generous and fun Kids’ Easter High Tea option available, making this a great Easter treat for all ages.

All in all, the Easter Chocolate Indulgence High Tea at Pan Pacific Melbourne is a beautifully executed experience – elegant, intimate, and indulgent. A delightful way to celebrate Easter in Melbourne.
