Some of us love a sweet high tea. Some of us go straight for the cheeseboard. 🧀 High Cheese at Vivace is for the latter.
Served in the art deco surrounds of Hotel DeBrett, it's our savoury twist on the classic afternoon tea. Expect a curated selection of premium cheeses, savoury bites, scones, tartlets and house-made accompaniments, plus a few seasonal surprises from our culinary team. Plenty of chances to discover a new favourite!
Feeling fancy? Add a w**e and port tasting for $30pp and enjoy three 75ml pours from our weekly selection. 🍷
🗓️ Saturdays and Sundays, 12pm to 4pm
💰 $75pp
📍 Level 1, Hotel DeBrett, 3B O'Connell Street, Auckland C*D
