Indulge in French Luxury with High Tea at the Sofitel Sydney Wentworth.
Each year, the highly anticipated Archibald Prize for portrait painting famously inspires Sofitel’s pastry team to create a new art-inspired High Tea. In honour of this years’ exhibition, our High Tea experience is influenced by the Packing Room Prize 2023 winning portrait, Clown jewels – by artist Andrea Huelin, featuring her subject Cal Wilson. The Archibald-inspired High Tea menu takes inspiration from the colourful and joyous painting whilst marrying traditional high tea treats with fanciful French touches.
This years’ limited-edition High Tea menu, features savoury bites and minis, including Tasmanian smoked salmon blinis with finger lime and crème fraiche; quiche with smoked duck and porcini; classic French-style chicken pithiviers; and slow roasted truffle beef mini baguettes, wasabi pea and caviar, followed by traditional scones with house-made strawberry jam. A final tier of petit fours, cakes and pastries focus on Parisian-inspired sweet delights such as classic French Opera cake with layers of almond sponge, potent coffee syrup, French buttercream, and chocolate ganache; jewel-coloured Macrons made in-house with delicate flavourings; the Sofitel Sydney’s signature Wentworth cheesecake; French ‘religieuse’ crème pâtissière-filled choux pastry flavoured with raspberry; Bordeaux-style vanilla cannelés; and finger lime lemon meringue petite tartes. High Tea at Sofitel Sydney Wentworth is complemented by an assortment of premium Silver Jubilee by Dilmah teas or barista coffee.
Boasting a unique European style space, guests can soak up the beauty of the surrounding garden courtyard ideally located in the heart of Sydney’s CBD.
