The high tea is amazinggg. It’s buffet style but very classy. Picture all sorts of little pastries decorated with precision lined up perfectly. Great selection of yummy savoury options like finger sandwiches, quiches, savoury pastries. And of course lots of sweet dessert goodies! There were a lot of chocolate options and also a chocolate fountain. The setting is beautiful. The Cortile Lounge is on the ground floor and in a grand, historical building with luxury furnishing, which make for a calm and relaxing atmosphere. Service is as expected of the Intercontinental.

Located in the centre of the Intercontinental Hotel, apparently on the site where the first grape vine was planted in Australia in 1788. The classic décor is lovely with various seating options including lounge booths. Pleasant ambient lighting and music. A good option for a bite to eat as they offer tapas plates, share plates, salads and even more substantial meals. There is a three small plate deal for $ 41 /four small plate deal for $ 50 which is quite good value. The drinks menu is extensive. Prices are quite expensive. I had a $ 16 mocktail but it was tiny. Cocktails are $ 19 – 26. Beer is $ 9 – 12. Coffee is $ 7! They do a cold drip coffee for $ 3 which is quite nice. They also offer high tea $ 55-$ 75 and high coffee $ 60 during the day. Quite nice to stop in for a drink before going out or before heading back to your room.
