If you’re looking for an excuse to get all dolled up, why not explore Perth’s oh-so-sophisticated high tea scene? We’re talking scones with jam and cream, crisp cucumber sandwiches and dainty decorated cakes – honestly, what more could you want? The British tradition of high tea originated among England’s most affluent during the 1840s. It was during the latter part of the 19th century that the tradition was embraced by both the upper and middle classes. Fast-forward to this day and age, high teas have taken the city by storm and varied experiences await. Sit back and relax within Haven Lounge's sun-filled courtyard for a seasonally-themed affair, journey through regional Western Australia via Cape Arid Rooms' spread, and go for quite literally a high tea on C Restaurant's 33rd-floor dining room. Either way, here are Perth’s best high teas that are sure to make you feel fancy and festive, much like a character from Bridgerton taking tea in the drawing room. 🍽️ The coolest cafés in Perth🍝 Perth's top restaurants right now☕️ Where to find the best coffee in Perth
