Mother’s Day, The Lodge Dining Room


Her Day, The Lodge Way

This Mother’s Day, The Lodge Dining Room presents a refined take on high tea.

Guests are invited to indulge in a seasonal menu that moves between savoury and sweet — from tuna tartare with Oscietra caviar to warm truffle rarebit — in a thoughtfully curated dining experience designed for her.

The experience concludes with a striking dessert offering, including banoffee choux and raspberry rose Ispahan, alongside house-made blueberry and white chocolate scones served with blackberry and thyme jam.

Serving from 12pm - 3pm Mother’s Day weekend, Saturday 9th and Sunday 10th May, guests are invited to elevate the celebration with exclusive Mother’s Day cocktails ($22ea) or indulge in a $75pp bottomless session for an extra-special touch.

With vegan, pescetarian and gluten-free options available, it’s a thoughtful, inclusive experience that ticks every box; stylish, delicious and most importantly made for celebrating Mum in all the right ways.

Bookings are essential. $125pp.

Book here.

Located on Level 1, 280 Little Collins Street, Melbourne 3000.
