2. Chocolate High Tea Buffet, Stamford Plaza Melbourne
If chocolate is your love language, the Easter Holiday Chocolate High Tea Buffet at Harry’s Restaurant inside Stamford Plaza Melbourne is the afternoon out you have been waiting for.
On the savoury side, expect things like beef pies, prawn twisters, filo triangles, and quiche alongside sandwiches and pita pockets. Then comes the dessert buffet, which leans heavily into chocolate with mousse, cakes, cookies, brownies, macarons, and scones with jam and cream. Three live stations round things out: a chocolate fountain with a selection of dippers, a Hot Chocolate Lab, and a station where guests put together their own chocolate bar from white or dark chocolate with toppings of their choice. Kids are kept busy with a colouring pack, and a roving magician works the room throughout the session.
The Easter Holiday Chocolate High Tea Buffet is on Saturday 11 April 2026 from 2pm to 4pm. Tickets are $85 for adults, $50 for children aged 5 to 17, and free for children under 5 (plus booking fees). Dietary needs can be flagged at the time of booking.
