A pastry swan filled with airy cream; freshly made Loukoumades (warm honey doughnuts drizzled with honey and pistachio); a buffalo mozzarella cheesecake and... just when you think things can't get any better, a dessert trolley rolls in. This is High tea at Esther. Every Saturday from 12:30 - 2pm. Book through the link in our bio.

We had the very talented Sam McGovern in the house. Fresh off the stage at The Tuning Fork, Sam went straight to QT Auckland and Esther Restaurant. Great music deserves a great meal. We like to think we delivered. Welcome to Auckland, Sam. Come back soon.

Sometimes the simplest things steal the show when cooked over flame. Smoky, sweet, and just a little charred, leeks are in season and on the menu.

Mum's with excellent taste deserve a divine afternoon over Champagne and dessert 🍰

Our High Tea is getting a special Mother's Day rewrite. For $89, start with a glass of G.H. Mumm, a selection of savoury bites, then make way for the roaming dessert trolley, piled high with Parisian-inspired temptation.

If she leans towards something a little more celebratory, swap the teapot for a pour that pops. Upgrade to bottomless Prosecco for $20, or Champagne for $45.
