The Kiwi Icons
Hilton Auckland’s Bellini Bar invites you to experience The Kiwi Icons, a contemporary afternoon tea that pays tribute to New Zealand’s most loved flavours.
Crafted by Pastry Chef Hiranya Ratnayake, each tier celebrates the familiar tastes many Kiwis grew up with from Ginger Crunch with Strawberry Crèmeux and Lolly Cake with Vanilla Cheesecake to Roast Lamb and Kūmara. These local icons are thoughtfully elevated through native ingredients, refined technique and a deep sense of place.
The Kiwi Icons is more than a menu, it’s a tribute to Aotearoa’s food story, brought to life in every bite. Enjoy alongside a selection of artisan teas and sweeping views of the Waitematā Harbour, only at Bellini Bar.
Thursday – Sunday
11.00am – 4.00pm
$70.00 per person
* Elevate your afternoon tea experience with a glass of Pommery Champagne for just an additional $15 per person
