Gin High Tea at Hyatt Regency Sydney features a smorgasbord of sweet and savoury delicacies paired with G&T’s.

If you’re seeking a unique and playful twist on the classic experience, look no further than the Gin High Tea at Hyatt Regency Sydney. This innovative offering caters to both adults and children, boasting a delectable array of sweet and savoury treats paired with expertly crafted gin cocktails for the grown-ups.

At the helm of the High Tea is Head Chef Sven Ullrich. With an impressive 24-year career spanning renowned kitchens in Germany, Tokyo, Hong Kong, and Hawaii, Chef Ullrich infuses the high tea menu with a global perspective. His passion for flavour and presentation shines through in every bite.

The high tea menu features both classic and innovative dishes. Savoury delights include delicate finger sandwiches, freshly baked scones with clotted cream and jam, and a selection of canapés showcasing Chef Ullrich’s culinary creativity. But the real star of the show is the pairing of these treats with bespoke gin cocktails. We were particularly impressed with the way the gins complemented the delectable canapés. Imagine a perfectly seared scallop paired with a refreshing gin spritzer that accentuates the sweetness of the watermelon and the tang of the hibiscus salsa – a truly delightful combination!

The dessert table at the Gin High Tea defies expectations. Forget dainty portions – this spread is a veritable feast, brimming with an impressive variety of sweet treats. From delicate pastries and mousses to decadent chocolates and tarts, there’s something to satisfy every palate. What truly sets this apart is the sheer quantity, exceeding expectations without compromising on quality. Each bite is a testament to the chef’s artistry.

While the gin cocktails cater to adults, the high tea doesn’t forget about the younger set. A true highlight is the theatrical ice cream station. Served out of a cloud of theatrical smoke, a range of delectable toppings ensures there’s something for everyone to create their own perfect frozen treat. It’s a truly whimsical experience for children and playful adults alike!

The Gin High Tea at Hyatt Regency Sydney is priced at $95 per adult (which includes two botanical Gin & Tonics) and $55 per child and is incredibly popular, so booking in advance is highly recommended. With limited availability most days, it’s best to secure your spot well ahead of time. The high tea is served every Saturday at 2:30pm at Lobby Lounge, Hyatt Sydney.

The Gin High Tea at Hyatt Regency Sydney offers a unique and delightful experience. With its innovative pairings, generous portions, and playful touches, it caters to both adults and children.
