The Christmas season is now in full swing, and Little Collins St Kitchen in the Sheraton Hotel is aiming to raise the festive spirit into a whole new level of indulgence. Every Monday to Saturday afternoon from December 1-31 2019, the French-inspired modern restaurant inside the Sheraton Hotel is offering a new selection of its afternoon tea service with a merry twist.
The hotel is jollying up some of its favourite sweet and savoury dishes with some festive flavours. The menu features a turkey and cranberry sauce wrap; a Gruyère, thyme and French onion quiche; smoked salmon and crème fraîche on spinach bread; and a fancy take on the ham and cheese sanga (the traditional Boxing Day meal).
There’s also a colourful selection of sweets with some very merry names. There's the "Christmas Carol", a red velvet sponge with berry cream cheese; the "Snow Land", an orange flourless cake with white chocolate mousse and blood orange jelly; and "the Ginger Man", a spicy ginger and orange meringue tart.
And, of course, a high tea wouldn’t be complete without scones – choose from vanilla or rum and raisin, both served with jam and cream. For $59 during weekdays ($65 on weekends), the menu includes coffee or tea plus the special Jingle Berry cocktail on arrival. To make a booking, visit the Little Collins Kitchen website.
