Their soups were delicious and tasted like they had been made with real stock. Sandwiches also were fresh and tasty, the strawberry tart pastry was crisp and the custard cream filling rich and silky with perky strawberries on top. Yummy! More

Wow what a room! It's the sort of place you'd expect to see Arch Duke Ferdinand at the next table with Dame Nellie Mebla. No wonder there is now a line-up since my last visit. The appealing view of cakes in the window tempts the sugar-philes. More

One of the few remaining original tearooms in Melbourne situated in the Block Arcade. It is a wonderful place to go to on cold wet afternoon or morning and linger over pots of tea sandwiches and cakes. More
