I purchased an online voucher to high tea for two at Gardener's Lodge.
Situated in Victoria Park, this gothic-style rustic sandstone venue is one of the oldest buildings, built in 1888.
The cafe at the lodge is set up by an Aboriginal elder, Aunty Beryl. In conjunction with a menu filled with native Australian ingredients, the lodge is also an advocate for Aboriginal employment - providing employment and training for Indigenous Australians.
Top Tier:
- Chocolate Muffin - SO SO rich!!!
- Almond Slice? - Not quite sure what it was but, whatever it is, it was delicious
Bottom Tier
- Lamb Skewers with Mint Sauce?? - I think it was mint sauce, the lamb skewers were tender and full of flavour.

English Breakfast
Wattle Seed Pancake - I 'think' the topping is goat's cheese or ricotta.

We had a lovely meal, lovely view and good food! The voucher saved us quite a bit. Ended up being about $19.50 per person.
Your thoughts on High Tea?
Wow, the pancake looks great! =) I love high teas, but in Singapore, it is quite expensive!!
