The Victoria Room Tea Salon
Sydney	Before the movie: Kick off your majestic affair with high tea at the Victoria Room Tea Salon.
Quay
Newtown	Okay, with the death of the Gourmet Viking, there aren't really many Danish options in Sydney. But there sure as hell are some top choices for 'royal' treatment. We suggest, if you can wrangle it, a booking at Quay, where chef Peter Gilmore proffers treats fit for a king. Otherwise, the McRib's back... and it's at least fit for a prince.
Slip Inn
Sydney	Drink afterwards at: Slip Inn Hey, it was where that Mary Donaldson nabbed her Danish royal.

	Try this DVD: Girl With a Pearl Earring (2003) Based on the novel based on the painting, this Vermeer family love-triangle sees scandal and art collide in the Netherlands. (OK, it’s not Denmark, but it’s close!).
