Pssst! Mother's Day Giveaway Alert!
This Mother’s Day celebrate your queen at Esther's High Tea with plenty of delectable nibbles and sass! Enter our giveaway to whisk your mum away for QT Auckland's retro High Tea at Esther where devilled eggs, Portuguese tarts, and their decadent roaming dessert trolley will spoil her rotten while you bask in the glow of being her favorite child (at least for the day).
Expect bite-sized delicacies, tea selections curated for royalty, and an atmosphere so chic, mum will feel like she’s in a glamorous movie montage. And mums deserve a little extra, so they're kicking things off with a complimentary glass of Perrier-Jouët Champagne to toast the woman who deserves it most!

It's tea-time at Esther! But these are not your nana's scones. Inspired by retro tea-taking traditions with a Sean Connolly twist, expect tempting treats flavoured with the Mediterranean in mind.
Don’t expect finger sandwiches and scones with cream, this is an afternoon tea served the Sean Connolly way. Think retro tea-taking traditions featuring a collection of culinary curiosities, with nostalgic nods to their namesake, Esther’s own Mediterranean kitchen.
The black swan – an ode to their unpredictable nature, gracefully glides through the restaurant on our French-inspired dessert trolley, back for another rendezvous with sweets piled high. Take your pick from cakes disguised as florescent Santorini lemons, deep dishes of tiramisu, and divine Portuguese tarts.
Hendrick’s are bringing tea to the party this year… well teacups that is. Cucumber, rose, and a splash of mischief – served hot or cold depending on how you take your ‘tea’.
Pinkies at the ready! Juniper dreams and the sweetest sensations, picture yourself with luxuriously laid out delights by the sun soaked Medi shores at Esther’s High Tea.
