Step into the enchanting world of festive indulgence at Hotel Chadstone's Altus Rooftop Lounge for the Festive High Tea.
Christmas shopping just got a whole lot sparklier!
As one of Santa’s longtime helpers, I can personally attest to the marathon of a pre-Christmas shop at Chadstone. While there is absolutely no better venue to find gifts that cater to all members of the family, it can be a massive undertaking with most of Melbourne also there. So what better way to add some joy to the day than breaking up your outing with a delicious feast, comfy chairs, a little peace away from the hustle and bustle – and a fortifying caffeine or champagne beverage? A perfect chance to unload the trolly, regroup with your shopping besties and compare notes.
High Tea at Altus is a wonderful treat, and their Christmas themed spread ticks all the boxes. Of the selection my favourite savoury items were slow cooked Wagyu beef pies and the beetroot cured Tasmanian smoked salmon on Macha bread with cream cheese. Delicious!
And for the sweets, the salted caramel & ginger petite gateau Santa sleigh, along with Santa’s hat (a brule chocolate tart topped with dark chocolate, raspberry mousse and coconut marshmallow) were the standouts for me.
High Tea is served with coffee and a range of delightful TWG teas. And you can also upgrade to include a glass of chilled Veuve Clicquot Champagne.
Make your Christmas shopping outing a day to remember for all the right reasons with a festive treat to yourself at Hotel Chadstone.
