Hilton Hotel in Surfers Paradise is just over a decade old with a crisp, classy and comfortable interior.

Ms Margot’s Bar & Eats was created as a place for guests to relax, indulge and connect. The Signature High Tea menu items are inspired by guest’s favourite dishes from the Hilton’s all-day dining menu. So that means, if you love the High Tea as much as we did, you can order bigger portions!

Our host Yuriko was amazing. She was friendly, attentive and makes a mean hot chocolate. Ten stars Yuriko!

The Signature High Tea menu was a mix of traditional and modern dishes. All items are made fresh daily on site.

I am a fan of Bao, so it was great to see this on the menu. The S & P Soft Shell Crab was perfect for the Surfers Paradise and Queensland climate.

The most interesting dish was the Haloumi, Honeycomb, Fig and Aioli. Such a great combination of salty, sweet and refreshing flavours. Loved this combination on my palate.

Scones with Cream and Berries were light and fluffy. The Raspberry Jam was pure berries and delicious.

Petit Four included classics such as Tiramisu and Lemon Curd Tart. The texture was light and fresh with a huge flavour punch.

The Salted Caramel Truffles melted in your mouth. We could have easily ordered a box of these to take home.

We had a look around following foyer of the Hilton Surfers Paradise. There was a lot of impressive art on display by David Hart. Yes, the son of renowned artist, Pro Hart.

If you are in the neighbourhood or planning a trip to Queensland, make sure you add Ms Margot’s Bar & Eats High Tea to your itinerary.

Angie got her passion for high tea, in particular scones from her Nanna. She would stay at her house regularly and they would bake scones, pasties and cakes for hours. Angie’s scones are quite popular amongst her friends. She says they need to be traditionally made though – kneading the butter and making a well for the milk! Not cream and lemonade thank you! She is a self-confessed tea snob and loves a great quality tea. She says it’s lovely, soothing and there’s nothing like a pretty tea cup.
