The Cortile is the famous meeting point at the Intercontinental Sydney. Offering curated delicious seasonal treats at their weekend High Tea Buffet, which is great value.
I love visiting the Intercontinental, especially at Christmas time. The halls were decked with Christmas trim and the food was sumptuous they just know how to add a little Christmas magicš Make this your next hightea adenture, you will be amazed at the variety of savoury and sweeties on offer.
I have also tried the newly launched buffet brunch at the cortile, which is designed as a brunch mini buffet. Food offerings were limited, there could have been more savoury breakfast and sweet options, to dine on. Needs a bit more variety, to be worth the $60 odd price tag.

The Cortile is located on the ground floor of the Sydney Continental Hotel. The closest way to get here by public transport is walking from the Circular Quay bus or train station. We booked the seasonal high tea via Lime&Tonic which ended up $45pp ($10 credit for new members & there was 2 of us) instead of $50 and $62 as the Intercontinental usually prices it. Included in the high tea is a glass of sparkling wine and tea of course to go with the high tea experience.
We didnāt realise it was an Easter themed high tea but it did say seasonal high tea and it ended up being a nice touch for Easter. The high tea overall was wonderful so Iāll just list the ones that we didnāt particularly enjoy. It was the salad cup and the chicken & mushroom pie. The salad cup didnāt taste the freshest and the chicken & mushroom pie was quite dry and we did not enjoy the flavour at all; it resembled dry chicken liver.
The Cortile was peaceful and made a nice atmosphere for high tea or if you just want to grab a bite to eat or sip a coffee or tea. Iāve attached an image of the menu for our Easter high tea below.
Can't really fault it! Amazing service, great selection of teas, everything food wise was tasty, delicious and beautifully presented, my favs are the tabouli salad, chicken sasauge roll w truffle aioli, scones w cherry jam and Chantilly cream, and vanilla macarons! Wish I could have eaten way more than I did!
