Sip, Savour, and Smell the Roses! Blush & Bloom High Tea celebrate the timeless beauty of roses.
Indulge in a sensory journey as Melbourne Marriott Hotel introduces its newest culinary experience: Blush and Bloom High Tea, a tribute to the delicate form, flavour, and colours of roses. This winter, be our guest as we celebrate the timeless beauty of roses.
The daily high tea (serving noon to 3.00pm) takes place at the hotel’s Essence Restaurant, on the corner of Exhibition and Lonsdale Streets Melbourne, and delivers teatime with a twist. Serving three tiers of blooming delights the menu includes rose and hibiscus macrons, rose and forest berry pana cotta, classic prawn brioche roll garnished with rosy pink salmon roe, as well as everyone’s favourite, freshly baked scones with rose and strawberry jam and clotted cream.
The delicious menu was curated by Melbourne Marriott Hotel’s Head Chef Swami Nandan whose impressive resumé includes some of the world’s most famous restaurants, such as Michelin-starred Benares Mayfair and Noma as well as Gordon Ramsay at Claridge’s.
Swami said that he wanted to find unique ways to pay homage to the warm hues of the enchanting flower.
“It’s about creating a well-rounded menu that offers a range of flavours whilst also paying homage to the timeless beauty of roses – who doesn’t love getting roses, they are such a symbol or care and devotion.” Swami said.
Melbourne Marriott Hotel’s Blush and Bloom High Tea experience is perfect serving for two people and includes hot and cold dishes plus delicious pastries and petit fours. Accompanying the menu is a carefully selected menu of six signature teas for guests to choose from including rose with French vanilla, Italian almond tea, brilliant breakfast tea or refreshing Ceylon green tea with lychee and ginger. The team have also partnered with Tea Blossoms Australia to serve three different Blooming Teas, served in glass tea pots, that deliver a captivating and theatrical touch to the experience.
