Perched elegantly on the 21st floor of the Royal Pines Resort in Benowa, Videre Restaurant High Tea offers a luxurious and enchanting dining experience that redefines the traditional high tea. This exquisite venue specializes in an elevated blend of gourmet high tea fare, showcasing a sophisticated menu where delicate sweet treats and refined savory bites harmonize perfectly with a selection of premium teas and artisanal coffees.
The culinary artistry at Videre is evident from the moment your high tea is presented. Guests are treated to an impressive array of freshly baked scones in three varieties, each accompanied by luscious spreads that melt in your mouth. The desserts are beautifully crafted, picturesque little delights that bring a subtle sweetness—enough to please even the most devoted sweet tooth—balanced by an assortment of savory offerings that are heralded for their creativity and flavor depth. These are far from the ordinary finger sandwiches one might expect; instead, you’ll find thoughtful, upscale selections that tantalize the palate and speak to the chef’s passion and finesse.
The atmosphere is as noteworthy as the food itself. Videre offers sweeping panoramic views of the Royal Pines Golf Course and the surrounding Benowa landscape, creating an idyllic backdrop that elevates the whole experience. The spacious floor-to-ceiling windows invite natural light during the day, while the city lights add a magical glow as evening falls, providing a romantic and intimate setting. As several patrons have shared, the 21st-floor vantage point combined with attentive, discreet service gives a luxurious yet welcoming ambiance that is perfect for celebrations, special occasions, or simply an indulgent afternoon escape.
The staff at Videre stand out for their warm hospitality and meticulous attention to detail. From first greetings to the final sip of tea, you feel genuinely cared for. The team’s accommodating nature shines through in their ability to customize the experience to dietary preferences, ensuring everyone—from vegans to those with allergies—feels fully embraced. This care extends to the educational moments when the chef or staff take time to share insights about menu choices, deepening guests’ appreciation and connection to what they are savoring.
High tea at Videre isn’t just about the food—it’s an immersive moment of elegance and learning. Families find it a delightful opportunity to introduce children to sophisticated dining etiquette, while groups cherish the convivial, stress-free atmosphere for special events such as baby showers and hens parties. The inclusion of unlimited tea varieties and expertly crafted cocktails further enhances the value, making each visit incredibly satisfying and memorable.
From the very first blush of arrival to the last morsel enjoyed, Videre Restaurant High Tea promises more than just a meal—it offers a beautifully curated journey of flavor, refinement, and breathtaking views that will keep you returning time and time again.

It was good experience at there. Normally we go to panorama lounge for Hight tea while school holiday. But 21st floor is good view and little more luxury feeling . View and services was amazing. We went to hotel for beautiful foods and practice table manners for my son. My son spread coffee at beginning . because it was first time to get coffee with pot. (We normally use drip coffee or coffee pad machine at home ) he didn’t know when is ok to push coffee press pot. Tea cups were very lovely. There are many teas and , every foods are beautiful and very carefully made. We liked blue berry tart and 4 chocolates cake and I liked small black bread with shrimp ,my son liked rolled sandwich too. Some cake made from not familiar flowers and it was interesting. Thank you for looking after us today.

I attended an event at Videre and enjoyed a high tea which I found to be quite impressive considering the reasonable price. Unlimited tea was a great inclusion and three varieties of scones most generous. The pretty, delicate desserts were probably a little too sweet (and I’m a sweet tooth!) but the savouries were outstanding and definitely on the fancy side. The location and view were incredibly serene also. Perfect venue and atmosphere for a baby shower

Oh such a hidden gem, 15 minutes from Surfers. One of the best high teas we’ve experienced. We arrived 1 hour early and host was adorable, accomodating and so very helpful. We had a gorgeous window seat and the food was substantial. The cocktails outstanding. Highly Highly recommend. Will be back again and again!

had a wonderful time dining here! The food was fantastic, and we didn’t have to wait too long. The service was also excellent. The staff were always available when needed but managed to be attentive without being intrusive. While the table was a bit small, it was still manageable. The view was nice, but it was quite dark outside Recommendation:seafood dish

I’ve been here a number of times, the food is always amazing, so when it came to choosing a venue for my baby shower, I knew Videre was the one! Myself and guests had an amazing day, it was stress free and the staff are so friendly and helpful, it made planning the day easy. We had a number of dietary requirements which were completely catered for! I can’t recommend this restaurant enough! So thank you Videre, we can’t wait to come back!

I booked this place for a Hens celebration and it did not disappoint! Videre has set the bar high when it comes to high teas, from the food, the atmosphere and the customer service! I had a friend who was vegan and they catered to her perfectly! The chef was amazing, she took the time to come out and explain everything that was on the menu. You won’t find boring sandwiches here like you do in other places, food was unique and inspired by indigenous flavours. Price was very reasonable. Would recommend!!!

Three of my friends and I came here for a lovely high tea and it was so wonderful :) The food was delicious and worth every cent, but the tea was my favourite part! So delicious. Massive thanks to Mitch, Kristy, and Rachel for being the loveliest hosts in the world, you were all so kind and made the experience what is was!

Best High Tea on the Gold Coast 5/5! The seasonal menus are always so exciting and carefully crafted to complement each season. The service is phenomenal with the chef, explaining their menu choices at your table and you can see and taste the passion in their work. The coffee, tea and sparkling are all delicious and you can be dazzled by the 21st floor views of the Royal Pines Golf Course and Gold Coast skyline. This is THE venue for baby showers, bridal showers, Mother’s Day etc. get in early as major holidays they are booked out. Pricing is worth every cent, and you’re guaranteed to walk out very satisfied!
