We have tried High Tea at almost everywhere in Brisbane now and Queenies is still number 1 for quality and value. I have been to Queenies 5 or 6 times now and yes, the portions have gotten smaller but the quality is as good or better than the fancy city places. I like how you get your own pot of tea and loads of jam and cream for the scones.
Approximate cost: $35
Set in a lovely old building which really added to the experience, the staff were very polite and the service was excellent. We went there for the high tea which was pretty good apart from the lack of cream (6 scones and 1 tablespoon of cream). Butter would have been an excellent addition for the type of scones on offer. They sell some lovely old fashioned teacups and saucers yet the teacups we got were cheap, white, square, utilitarian cups. Also, there was not enough tea for the amount of people (One pot for 3 people). These are simple fixes and would really add to the appeal of an otherwise excellent experience.
