Indulge in a decadent High Tea at Nick & Nora’s Melbourne — a 1930s-inspired experience that artfully blends cocktails, canapés, and Art Deco charm.
Drawing inspiration from the legendary fictional duo Nick and Nora Charles of The Thin Man fame, the venue brings their glamorous soirées to life with a modern twist.
From the moment you enter, the venue’s Art Deco design and opulent ambiance transport you to another era. Subtle details, such as classic movie dialogue playing in the restrooms and the lush interiors, make every corner of this space a delight to explore. The atmosphere is elegant yet inviting — perfect for socializing over expertly crafted cocktails.
Guests are welcomed with a glass of NV Chandon Brut, followed by the signature Lady of the Law cocktail, a vibrant blend of Beefeater Gin, Limoncello, lemon, and strawberry syrup.
Chef Juan Campos has curated a Modern Australian High Tea menu that features impeccably crafted canapés. Highlights include the Serrano croissant with rocket and truffle mayo — rich and satisfying — and the charred octopus tostada, elevated with black bean purée and salsa roja. Other standout offerings include the cucumber bao with pickled cabbage and the prawn ciabatta roll with tom yum mayo.
Dessert lovers will revel in the selection of petit fours, a sweet finale that pairs perfectly with the cocktails. Indulgent treats like the raspberry and white chocolate tart, banana chocolate cake, coconut tiramisu, and raspberry brownie offer a decadent end to the experience.
Service at Nick & Nora’s is attentive and knowledgeable. The staff guide guests through the menu with expertise and enthusiasm, ensuring every element of the High Tea feels thoughtfully curated and indulgent.
Nick & Nora’s High Tea is a celebration of decadence and style, seamlessly blending fine cocktails, exquisite canapés, and an atmosphere steeped in Old Hollywood glamour. Departing from tradition, it swaps scones, finger sandwiches, and tea for an innovative array of savoury and sweet delights.
High Tea is served every Sunday and is priced at $75 per person, where every sip and bite feels like a toast to the golden age of glamour.
There’s also an extensive cocktail list crafted by world-class bartenders, irresistible canapés featuring oysters, caviar, cheeses, and cured meats, as well as substantial bites, this experience is truly unforgettable.
