Mother’s Day Afternoon Tea at The Windsor

For the mum who appreciates the finer things in life (and probably reminds you of your manners every five minutes), there is simply no substitute for Afternoon Tea at The Windsor. This is the gold standard, the big kahuna, the legendary Melbourne experience that has been running since before your grandma was in nappies. For Mother’s Day 2026, they are pulling out all the stops with a dedicated menu featuring those famous ribbon sandwiches and scones that are practically cloud-like. There’s even a chocolate fountain, which is a guaranteed hit with the kids and anyone else with a sweet tooth. Every Mum also gets a special gift to take home, which means you’ve basically done your job for the day without even trying. It’s all very heritage-chic and grand, making it the perfect backdrop for those family photos you’ll eventually post on Instagram to prove you’re the favourite child. It’s fancy, it’s historical, and it’s a fair dinkum Melbourne institution. Dress up, mind your pinkies, and enjoy a bit of old-world glamour in the heart of the CBD.
