At the top end of Toorak Road in South Yarra, Mr L’s offers a stylish setting for a leisurely Sunday High Tea.

With its polished interiors, welcoming staff and relaxed atmosphere, it’s the kind of venue that lends itself well to catching up with friends over a glass of sparkling wine and a tiered stand of treats.

Designed by Chef Deepak Mishra, who is well known for his work developing high tea menus across Melbourne, the experience combines classic high tea elements with contemporary flavours and native Australian touches.

Among the sweets, the Petite Cheesecake with strawberry gum and berry salsa was a standout. Delicately balanced and not overly rich, it offered a welcome contrast to some of the sweeter elements on the stand. Equally enjoyable was the 70% Belgian Chocolate Whipped Ganache Tartlet, where the dark chocolate, hazelnut praline and salted caramel combined for a decadent finish.

A glass of sparkling wine is included with the service, alongside bottomless specialty tea, and this adds considerably to the overall value proposition. At $72 per person, the offering feels accessible for a special occasion, celebration or simply a leisurely Sunday afternoon treat.
