The Tea Room

The Tea Room at NGV International offers a modern interpretation of the traditional afternoon tea.

Macaroons, éclairs and a delectable array of cakes are all handmade by a team of talented pastry chefs. Savouries include classic crustless sandwiches, with fillings such as chicken with herb mayonnaise, cucumber and cream cheese, and egg mayonnaise.

Their extensive tea menu with a selection of exotic and traditional blends includes teas exclusively sourced and imported for the Tea Room.
