High Tea at The Fable Hotel

High tea – a delightful indulgence with roots in the mid-1700s – is a quintessentially British tradition that has been embraced and reimagined around the world. For an unparalleled high tea experience in Auckland, look no further than Cooke’s Restaurant & Bar at The Fable Hotel.

Cooke’s signature menu revives beloved classics from the 1920s, such as warm savouries and sandwiches. Think buttermilk scones with raspberry and rosewater preserve, ensuring an unforgettable experience.

The high tea menu unfolds a symphony of sweet and savoury delights, from caramel macarons and dark chocolate silk with lemon curd to salmon tataki with soy and ginger glaze, and grilled chicken sandwiches filled with smoked brie and cranberry. Gluten-free and vegan options are available upon request.

Beyond the culinary delights, Cooke’s offers an impressive selection of beverages. The restaurant boasts an exclusive range of Dilmah signature teas, as well as the exquisite Louis Roederer Champagne or Fidora Prosecco to elevate your afternoon.

While high tea has evolved over the centuries, Cooke’s remains true to the indulgent spirit of the original tradition.

Housed in a building constructed in 1928 by W.R Cooke & Son, which once served as a tea room and soda fountain, Cooke’s Restaurant & Bar has returned to its roots with the reintroduction of high tea. This restoration creates a charming connection between the history of high tea and the venue’s own story. It is the perfect setting for an elegant afternoon in the heart of Auckland.
