Our order is taken and drinks swiftly follow.

Hot coffee comes served with a mini freckle.

A little bland.

High Tea @ Bistro Fax

 If you're after a quite place to relax on a lazy Sunday afternoon, Bistro Fax is the place.

Bistro Fax Restaurant & Bar is located in a newly designed space on the corner of O’Connell Street inside the Radisson Plaza Hotel Sydney. The heritage-listed building was once owned by the Fairfax newspaper empire.

 The boutique tea room provides a warm atmosphere to sink into a comfortable throne lounge and enjoy a few drinks and light snacks.


$40 per person with unlimited cups of tea or coffee.
If you're after a boozy meal, $45 with a glass of Brown Brothers Zibibbo Rosa. 

The kitchen will send out more of the items you like, which is essential if you want value for money.

A platter of sweet treats and sandwiches.





Savouries.

 Smoked salmon and creme fraiche dill tart.



Open sandwiches of;
Rare roast beef and horseradish.



Crab and corn.



Chicken and avocado.





Sweets.

Orange cake with raspberry.


Caramel slice.



Lemon tart.



Chocolate cannoli.



Citrus friand.


Our tea pot and coffee cup are topped up several times. We decide on some more of the open sandwiches, the sugar hit is definitely adequate.
