Guests settle in for an afternoon of sheer indulgence with a degustation-style High Tea experience. A progression of late lunch into afternoon tea, enjoy traditional sandwiches, a selection of buttermilk and fruit scones and a choice of main course served to your table on exquisite Noritake China. Then be treated to the decadent Rialto Precinct Dessert Trolley, featuring heavenly cakes from the kitchens of renowned local venues such as Vue de Monde, Le Petit Gateau and Merchant.

Melbourne High Tea

The moment you walk into InterContinental Melbourne The Rialto, guests step into the high society world of the Clarke Sisters. These ladies would often be found spending lavish afternoons swapping stories over fine china teacups. Miss Emma Clarke married Patrick McCaughan who commissioned the original Rialto building which is now the west or Rialto wing of the hotel. After Miss Emma’s untimely passing, the undeterred Patrick went on to marry her sister Miss Margaret Clarke. Miss Margaret had a beautiful daughter Caroline with whom this tradition of decadent High Teas continued.
