I took some out of town friends here for high tea, and we were just stunned by the atmosphere. Victoria Room has the most incredible decor and all the booths are fairly private. A warning - don't eat beforehand! The food was fantastic but there was a lot of it. In fact, the only thing that left a bad taste... More

This is a lovely large space decked out with unmatched antique furniture. It's supposed to reflect the British Raj but personally I think that's stretching it a bit. It's quiet during the week, but rammed and very noisy at weekends so be ready to shout. The seating is arranged in islands of chairs and sofas, with a more formal dining... More

I recently spent a lovely few hours with a group of girlfriends having the High Tea. I had been here before with a friend and we sat at the table and chairs but this time there were 8 of us so we booked the leather lounge chairs and it was lovely. The ambience is beautiful so oldy worldy. The staff... More

Went there of a Sunday afternoon with a group. We had our reservation sitting on the leather lounge chairs and armchairs (they also have dining tables too). Upon arriving it was incredibly dark inside - you know there's atmosphere and then there is just "I cant see where the **** I'm going atmosphere. The ambience is wonderful and the collection... More

This restaurant bar has a great ambience and a great concept. We went on Sunday evening when they have a special night with entertainment. The entertainment included live music with a singer singing mostly in French, a belly dancer, a male pole dancer and a trapeze act. The food was reasonable for the type of venue. Unfortunately the evening was... More

It’s Ms R’s Birthday, and to celebrate, our group of girl friends is visiting The Victoria Room to partake in one of every girl’s favourite activities – High Tea. High Tea (or Afternoon Tea, or Low Tea, as it should correctly be know as) creates the perfect opportunity to frock up (think ladylike – I usually channel Kate Middleton) and... More

When thinking of how to celebratie my birthday this year this venue was the first thing that popped into my head. We had a sectioned off room for 20 people with an eclectic arrangement of chairs and small sofas we were all extremely comports me and close enough to mingle. The scones were a great start only to be outdone... More

The location is just outside of Kings Cross. The decor tries for the 1920s era. The restaurant and bar main floor is split up into sections with brass poles and partitions. There is a dining and a lounge area. The menu is Mediterranean influenced and on Sunday is an abbreviated menu. Sunday night is the night of lounge singers and... More

With entertainment (small band several good vocalists and a pole dancer ... YES a pole dancer), great food, Mediterranean style and excellent service what more could you ask for on a Sunday night in Sydney. Well located in Victoria Rd Darlinghurst this 'Olde Worlde' restaurant has charm and vibe. We spent a most enjoyable night for a family birthday. Prices... More
