I do love the decor of the Sofitel open, simple with sunlight streaming through the windows as you view the city below. Served with a glass of Champagne we waited for the 3 tiered selection of treats. I began with the scones which were average but the accompanying Cream and Honey were sweet. I skipped the jam and marmalade as I'm not really a fan. We moved onto the Ribbon Sandwiches which were a bit dry, I suppose they prepare these earlier so they are ready when guests arrive, but it stales the bread. The Moroccan Chicken and Mayonnaise was my pick of the Sandwiches. Although very cute to look at the desserts were all over the place, some were delicious and some weren't. As one of my favourite desserts I was really disappointed by the Creme Brûlée I think the cup was much too shallow to get a nice balance of the creaminess underneath and the sugary/toffee topping and all I could taste was sugar grains. The small cupcake with pink icing had some fancy extra ingredient which just made it taste odd. The layered coffee slice was quite nice, also the raspberry macaron was adorable and it tasted the way it looked, sweet. The staff were all lovely and we did have a good time, but the food quality was not quite up to the standard of the Sofitel as what we expected. It's $50 per person during the week and $60 on weekends which I felt was overpriced and unsatisfying. Especially when there were no standout items.
