Best Restaurants for Afternoon Tea in Reservoir

Brilliant experience for our family. We all loved it thankyou.

We had a wonderful time celebrating our daughter's 18th Birthday Brunch at Old Man Drew. Wonderful food, delicious brunch cocktails and a cosy place in the Wine Cellar. Thank you for having us. We will be back :)

Being a restaurant within the museum, expectations were conservative and I was expecting alright food for slightly inflated prices, but opted for the option due to the convenience. I was wrong to expect as such. The food was exceptional: cooked perfectly, presented well, and incredibly delicious, the quality I'd expect from a renowned restaurant on nearby Lygon Street. We'd ordered the calamari, carbonara, and baked gnocchi. Calamari were great quality and cooked well, so not rubbery. Interesting choice to pair with rocket, and the sauce it came with was lighter in quantity than I'd hoped, but still very nice. The carbonara was excellent; al dente fettuccine, creamy sauce and quality pancetta with nothing in there that shouldn't have been. The baked gnocchi was also fantastic; baked just right to allow a little char without burning, and soft enough to allow them to hold the sauce which itself was delicious. Initially we weren't going to get dessert, feeling we had a better option with the Brunetti popup also featured in tandem with the Rome exhibition, but after the satisfaction with lunch we went with a scoop of pistachio gelato. Right off the bat, it wasn't that neon/bright green one often gets so that was a good sign. Gelato was perfect. Everything was also priced reasonably and portion sizes were good. Our waitress was welcoming, quick when it came to service, and checked in on us regularly (I noticed her rounding the corner to see how we were doing!) so we were well taken care of. The restaurant is in a good, non imposing spot, very clean and comfortable. Couldn't ask for anything more to be honest.

Nice atmoshere excellent service meals were very tasty i had the scollaps for my entree and they were delish it was a lovely experience and i highly recommend going the staff were amazing

We had crepes and they were outstanding. Service was basic (go the counter to order and pay, no table service), servers were blant but friendly. The decor inside was gorgeous. Would recommend for a quick morning or afternoon tea spot!
