Luxe high tea over Roebuck Bay. I loved the Roebuck Bay views and the showy, flavour-led menu, especially the Grand Marnier flambéed camembert. One thing to factor in: this is a weather-dependent experience and it’s not cheap for a roughly 2-hour sitting.

The event is hosted at Broome Weddings and Events, and you can feel the occasion in the details. In the best moments, the hosts and team help the afternoon flow smoothly, and I’ve seen praise for staff like Bec, Myles, and Erica—names that show up again and again when people talk about the service.

With a maximum of 30 people, it stays more intimate than a big “tour group” meal, and pickup is offered if you want to keep your day simple. The main trade-off is time: two hours goes fast, so plan on this as your one big food moment in Broome.

Roebuck Bay views at Broome Weddings and Events

Boab and Myrtle Chandon High Tea in Broome - Roebuck Bay views at Broome Weddings and Events
This is the kind of Broome activity you don’t just consume. You look at where you are, then you eat. The high tea happens at Broome Weddings and Events, with Roebuck Bay as the big visual payoff. If you like your afternoons with a view that feels worth dressing up for, this is a strong match.

Because it’s run like an event, the setting and pacing matter. You’re not shuttled around; you’re hosted. That’s a plus if you’re short on time in town or want something that feels special without needing to drive anywhere after you arrive.

There’s one practical note: the experience requires good weather. That means you should be ready for possible date changes if the skies aren’t playing along.

The welcome: Chandon Garden Spritz and a calm start

The afternoon begins with a Chandon Garden Spritz. It’s an easy way to get into holiday mode without turning the whole meal into a sprint. The timing helps too: you get a drink in hand before the food presentation begins, so you’re not waiting around hungry.

I like this kind of welcome because it sets a tone. It says this is meant to be slow enough to enjoy the view and the company, but structured enough that you’ll know what’s coming next.

Also, since the high tea includes both drinks and a menu with multiple items, it works best when you show up on time and with room in your schedule. Two hours can disappear quickly once you’re into the courses.

Kimberley flavours you can taste: Boab, Myrtle, and pearl meat ceviche

Boab and Myrtle Chandon High Tea in Broome - Kimberley flavours you can taste: Boab, Myrtle, and pearl meat ceviche
The main idea here is Kimberley-inspired ingredients, made understandable through food. Two items you’ll notice right away are Boab nut and Myrtle. These aren’t just “namedropping” ingredients. They’re treated like key characters in the menu, the way local flavours deserve to be when they’re the point.

One early highlight is the Kimberley pearl meat ceviche. It’s a coastal-bounty starter that helps balance the richness you’ll later see in more decadent courses. Even if you don’t know what pearl meat tastes like, the ceviche format suggests freshness and brightness, which is a good strategy for keeping a high tea from feeling heavy.

Then comes the degustation tower of local delicacies—described as a set of bites that mix traditional flavours with contemporary presentation. Practically speaking, a tower format is great in a setting like this: you get variety without feeling like you’re ordering five separate things. It’s also a nice way to taste without needing to be adventurous in one big leap.

The big show: Grand Marnier flambéed camembert

Boab and Myrtle Chandon High Tea in Broome - The big show: Grand Marnier flambéed camembert
The course that gets people talking is the flambéed camembert with Grand Marnier. This is where the afternoon turns into a moment with drama, not just dinner.

Why it matters for you: flambé-style food isn’t only about flash. It adds a sensory layer—heat, aroma, and the visual payoff of the process—so the dish feels like an event rather than just another plate. If you’re celebrating something, this kind of signature presentation usually lands well.

It also helps that the rest of the menu is flavour-led. Boab and Myrtle give the meal a distinctly local direction, while the flambéed camembert brings the classic “treat” factor. That mix is what makes it feel like high tea with a difference, not a theme dressed over standard sweets.

One consideration: if you’re sensitive to smoke or strong aromas, you might want to position yourself where you can comfortably watch without being right in the line of the action. The data doesn’t specify seating, so treat this as a general comfort tip rather than a guarantee.

Chandon sparkling flight plus the cake tasting paddle finish

Drinks aren’t an afterthought here. You also get a Chandon Sparkling tasting flight. Think of it as your palate guide through the meal: the sparkling side helps with balance when your menu shifts from seafood brightness to richer, more indulgent flavours.

This sort of pairing is valuable because it makes the experience feel “complete.” In plain terms, it helps you taste more than just eat. You’ll be able to notice how flavours change when you go from ceviche to creamy cheese moments, and then to dessert.

The final course is a tasting paddle of rustic homemade cakes. A paddle format is ideal for high tea because it gives variety without the commitment of a full slice of everything. It’s also described as reflecting traditional recipes, which is the right word for what you want at the end of a longish food experience: warm, familiar, and satisfying.

If you’re the type who often orders one dessert and calls it a day, the paddle might surprise you—in a good way—because it encourages you to try more than your usual pick.

Price and value: what $168.55 buys you in Broome

Boab and Myrtle Chandon High Tea in Broome - Price and value: what $168.55 buys you in Broome
At $168.55 per person, this sits in the “splurge, but with logic” category. Is it expensive? Yes. But here’s the value argument that makes the price make sense.

You’re paying for:

  • A full event-style high tea (not just tea and a couple of plates).
  • A multi-item menu with distinctive local ingredients like Boab and Myrtle.
  • Included Chandon drinks: a welcome spritz plus a sparkling tasting flight.
  • A signature presentation (flambéed Grand Marnier camembert) that turns the meal into an experience.

Duration is about 2 hours, so you’re not paying for a long block of time you might otherwise fill with sightseeing. Instead, you’re paying for intensity: drinks, courses, presentation, and service in one sitting.

My honest take: this is best viewed as a “one-and-done” high point. If you’re planning multiple paid attractions in Broome, you may want to treat this as your one premium meal event and not your only paid thing.

Timing, weather, and getting there without stress

Boab and Myrtle Chandon High Tea in Broome - Timing, weather, and getting there without stress
This experience needs good weather, so it’s smart to plan it with some flexibility. If the forecast looks iffy, I’d still book it, but don’t put it as your only plan on a day you can’t reschedule.

The event runs for about two hours, and pickup is offered. If you prefer not to worry about transport once you’re in town, pickup is a real convenience. You’ll also receive a mobile ticket, and confirmation is provided at the time of booking.

Group size is capped at 30 travellers, which tends to help the experience feel organized instead of crowded. That matters when you’re paying for a food-and-drink program. Short lines, clear pacing, and staff attention are part of what makes the high tea feel “luxe,” not just expensive.

Who should book Boab and Myrtle High Tea in Broome?

Boab and Myrtle Chandon High Tea in Broome - Who should book Boab and Myrtle High Tea in Broome?
Book this if you want:

  • A luxury-feeling Broome afternoon without turning it into a full day plan.
  • Kimberley flavours you can actually taste, with Boab and Myrtle taking centre stage.
  • A high tea that includes signature theatre (the flambéed camembert) and not just desserts.
  • Included drinks that make it feel like a coordinated pairing experience, not a BYO situation.

It’s also a solid option for couples, families, and friends—especially if you want something celebratory that doesn’t require a lot of planning once you’re there.

If you’re on a tight budget, or if you don’t care about food presentation and included drinks, you might find better value elsewhere. This is not a “cheap snack with a view” experience.

Should you book this high tea in Broome?

I think you should book it if Broome is your one trip where you want at least one meal to feel like an event. The Roebuck Bay location, the Kimberley ingredient focus (Boab nut and Myrtle), and the included Chandon tasting are the core reasons it earns its price tag.

I’d skip it or delay it if you strongly dislike weather-related uncertainty or if you prefer long, free-form experiences over a structured two-hour program. Also, if you’re only interested in tea and pastries, the menu is built to be more than that, so you’ll want to go in expecting seafood-to-cheese-to-dessert variety.

Bottom line: this is one of the more “you’ll remember it” afternoons in Broome, and the combination of view, local ingredients, and showy course work together rather than feeling like marketing.
