About Us
More Than a Tea Destination
The Royal Tea Rooms is a place of pause, a refined retreat where time slows and every detail is considered. From our hand-selected teas to our French-inspired pastries, we invite you to experience the art of afternoon tea.
Nestled in the heart of Melbourne's iconic Royal Arcade, our tea room offers an escape from the everyday — a space where elegance meets warmth and tradition meets modern refinement.
Founded with a passion for bringing the finest French pâtisserie traditions to Melbourne, we source our teas from the world's most renowned gardens and craft each pastry with meticulous care.
