Mother's Day calls for something unhurried. A table that holds the whole family. Food that keeps arriving. A moment for Mum to feel genuinely celebrated — not just fed. The Landing Place Restaurant at Hyatt Place Melbourne Essendon Fields has built exactly that with their Mother's Day High Tea, running from 12:00pm to 4:00pm with a spread that goes well beyond the standard tiered stand.
If you're planning a Mother's Day in Melbourne's north-west, this is well worth securing early.
High Tea with Room to Graze
What sets this offering apart is the combination of a traditional high tea menu alongside a dedicated grazing station. While the classic elements are all present — delicate sweet and savoury treats, beautifully presented — guests also have access to a spread of charcuterie and cheese, fresh seasonal fruits, and petite chocolate delights.
It's a generous, relaxed approach that gives the afternoon room to breathe. Rather than working through a fixed progression, you can move between the two at your own pace — which makes a four-hour window feel like a genuine afternoon rather than a timed sitting.
And for every mother at the table, The Landing Place has added one more touch: a complimentary Mother's Day chocolate. A small gesture, and exactly the kind of detail that makes an experience feel considered.

The Whole Family, at the Same Table
High tea has a reputation for being an adults' occasion — but The Landing Place has made a deliberate effort to include the little ones. The Kids' High Tea at $75 per child (ages 6–12) means the whole family can share the afternoon together, without anyone sitting on the sidelines.
For parents, that's meaningful. Some of the best Mother's Day memories are the ones made with everyone present — grandchildren included. The four-hour service window gives you the flexibility to arrive when it suits and leave when you're ready, rather than feeling rushed through a sitting.
Why Essendon Fields Works
Hyatt Place Melbourne Essendon Fields sits in a well-connected, accessible location for families coming from Melbourne's north, north-west, and western suburbs. It's an easy drive, with parking available, and the restaurant offers a warm, modern setting that feels appropriate for a special occasion without being intimidating for children.
For groups celebrating together — multiple generations, extended family, or a gathering of friends — the offer to accommodate parties of 10 or more via direct email is a practical inclusion that makes coordinating a larger celebration much simpler.
