High Tea at Hippo

Who Said Brunch Gets to Have All the Fun?

Looking for high tea in Wellington with a little more panache? Take your afternoon upstairs to Hippo, where ordering one of everything comes without the side-eye.

Perched above Wellington’s waterfront, Hippo is giving the weekend catch-up a rather delicious upgrade. Think three tiers of seasonal sweet and savoury delights, a glass of bubbles to keep the conversation flowing and plenty of tea to spill.

Consider this your new go-to weekend ritual with no prescribed way to enjoy. Savoury then sweet? Absolutely! Dessert first? We won’t tell. prefer your bubbles bottomless? You do choux.
