A short distance from the Pioneer River on Sydney Street, A Deja-Vu Experience awaits. Returning locals and groups of cheery girlfriends enter the century old building, looking to be transported to the French countryside, via elegant floral furnishings and delicate chinaware reminiscent of a grand chateau. Among the decorative homewares and shiny teapots, guests enjoy old fashioned high tea, sipping everything from Devonshire cream tea, classically matching the surroundings, to trendier alternatives like peachy ginger or chai, accompanied by the likes of fluffy plain scones with jam and Chantilly cream. Hunger still lingering, guests will be tempted by more filling options such as house-made quiche with salad, or crunchy toasted sandwiches with roast beef, tomato and caramelised onion.
