Esther's High Tea

On Saturdays we polish off the silverware for Esther’s High Tea. An afternoon affair where the rules are rewritten, the tiers are lavish, and the bubbles are bottomless.

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 our namesake Esther’s own Mediterranean kitchen.

The black swan – an ode to our 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 fluorescent Santorini lemons, deep dishes of tiramisu, and divine Portuguese tarts.

The libations, you ask? Sip on freshly made coffee and tea, or go bottomless for and extra $20, and enjoy 1.5 hours of free-flowing Prosecco pours, Mimosas and peachy Bellinis, and— because what’s an afternoon tea without a little extra sparkle?

Pinkies at the ready. Picture yourself with luxuriously laid out delights by the sun soaked Medi shores at Esther’s High Tea.
