The Tea Lounge

Awesome experience at The Tea Lounge at Hyatt Hotel, Canberra. We didn’t have a booking this morning, but they still managed to get us in really quickly. Elle was our table staff and she was friendly, helpful and very efficient. The food was beautifully tasty, presented well, and the savoury and sweets were equally delicious. The sparkling Rosè was very nice, and we loved the huge range of teas to choose from.

Such a lovely experience! Everything from the comfortable chairs (that even my older father with back issues was able to sit in for ages), to the kind staff that surprised me with a slice of cake when they overheard it was my birthday, made this experience well worth it.
We went for the Easter high tea, which had more than enough food (even needed a little box to take some home), the tea was yum (even from a tea hater) especially the French earl grey.
Some of the food was better than others (the banana pineapple roulade was not the best but the coronation chicken slider and berry & white chocolate panna cotta were the highlights).
Whilst the service was perhaps a little slow for some people, I liked not being bothered every two seconds and allowed time to just take in how nice the building was, but when we needed something the staff were professional and efficient.
I would approach the menu a bit strategically because the hot food does err on the cooler side, as other reviewers have mentioned, so just eat that first.

$68 per person for unlimited high tea, including barista-made coffee and GIANT teapots, was such a terrific experience. Spent a lovely few hours here; service was polite and efficient and food stations were regularly topped up. Would recommend to anyone keen to try out a high tea experience.

We had a wonderful catch up in the Tea Lounge, service was beyond amazing and the food was fantastic. I had never tried the normal menu before only high tea, the normal menu was so yummy, we will be back so that my husband can try that chicken!!
Thank you so much.

The Tea Lounge at the Hyatt Hotel serves a fantastic High Tea! The food was amazing and our server Binod was attentive, kind & very professional when attending to our needs. He made my family and I feel very comfortable and welcomef which made our experience such a pleasent one.

Absolutely awesome 2 hrs . Unlimited tea and some really mind blowing flavours. Sticky date pudding tea is definitely one to try . Food was delightful and we were absolutely full to the brim when we left . A complimentary glass of bubbles is also on offer ,try the pink one !!!!

Im so impressed for the quantity & quality of high tea set here… Great service and nice ambiance…

As coeliacs, it is always nice to find good food. The high tea at the Hyatt was spectacular: everything was delicious, and the bao bun was the best gluten free bread I've ever had. We would highly recommend it to anyone needing a gluten free gastronic celebration!

Excellent service and food. Well catered for the vegan in the group. We had a lovely time (ate too much!) but enjoyed it very much. Thank you to all the staff; top rate service.

Went to high tea to celebrate a friend's birthday. The setting is gorgeous, as is the food. One of our party had a food allergy, and the staff put together a special plate for them - no trouble at all.

Had a pleasant dinner during our stay at Hyatt. Amazing service, the server, Steven, was so helpful and friendly; I ordered nasi goreng and asked if they can make it spicy (as I love a good spicy nasi goreng), and my nasi goreng turned up spicy and yum! My husband ordered a caesar salad without anchovy, they also got it right. Double thumbs up for Steven for getting the order right and for the chef 👍👍

Awesome coffee and scones served with biggest smiles. Keep up the good work guys. See you next time.

Only had coffee after a show. Service was impeccable, and the coffee was good, too.

Great but expensive afternoon tea. The buffet is only on Friday Saturday and Sunday and it's the only way to enjoy the high tea experience. Great for out of town guests.

High Tea at the Tea Lounge is amazing. Nothing beats it in Canberra. Their buffet at the adjacent restaurant is worth trying too!

10 out of 10. Couldn't fault a thing for an excellent high tea. Had trouble eating all the serving. Eclectic range of teas. Highly recommended. Well worth the trip to Canberra.

I attended the Tea Lounge for a high tea with my family for my father's birthday. It is a beautiful, elegant space with the most decadent food. The staff who served me and my family, Riya and Binod, provided incredible service and were very accommodating to allergies. My father was even brought a birthday cake completed with a candle!
Although I have been to the Tea Lounge before, I would without a doubt say that the service and food/drink quality is the best I have ever experienced.
I would definitely recommend the high tea experience to anyone.

Staff were wonderful in finding us a table as we decided at the last minute (without a booking) to have high tea. Beautiful old worldly atmosphere with service to match. Amazing selection of savoury and sweets.

The scones were to die for and the service impeccable.💜😁

Great service by staffs and lovely Devonshire set. Loved the classical music too.
