Bacchus Rydges South Bank - High Tea Experience

Bacchus, one of the most revered gods in Greek mythology, is the god of wine, vegetation and festivity. And it is this supreme being who has inspired South Bank's mighty Bacchus restaurant.

Located on the city's esteemed South Bank, Bacchus occupies a significant place in the city's fine dining scene. It's rooted in timeless luxury with sweeping dining rooms hosting elegant leather-clad furniture, tables fitted with individual lamps a la The Orient Express and giant globular lanterns that add an element of drama and intrigue. With majestic entertainment spaces too, as well as a showstopping bar with waiters dressed to the nines, Bacchus is every bit as regal as its name suggests.

Can you envision a better place for a spot of high tea? Almost too pretty to eat, you'll discover delicate savouries with tuna and capers, smoked salmon and cream cheese, and chicken nestled in a buttery croissant. If you can wait that long to dive into the sweets, you'll then find decadent madeleines, passion fruit cake, seasonal macarons and a zingy lemon tart to counteract the sweetness.

Excellence is what they do and you'll quickly see that no detail is left to chance. And if you thought that high tea was an adult affair, perhaps the children's alternative will make you think again. Regardless, it's time to thank the gods for this gastronomic gift in the heart of Brisbane's glistening fine dining scene.
