Round dark table set for high tea.

Amidst the elegant splendour of illuminated chandeliers hanging from the ceiling, silver platters polished to a shine and fine-tuned cocktail recipes, get ready for a brand-new evening concept at Hotel Bristol, where historic elegance meets modern dining. 

'High Tea' is a modern take on the traditional Bristol 'Afternoon Tea' - adapted for the evening - with a stronger focus on food, ambiance and good drinks. This complete dinner experience is tailored to those who want to enjoy that little something extra served in style. 

We invite you to join us in the beautiful and historic setting of the Mauriske Salonger for an evening to remember. As can only be expected, the food is served the traditional way on three-tiered stands, combining small dishes with delicacies and sweet treats at the very top. 

The lowest tier is filled with such delicious dishes as hazelback potatoes with Kalix Løjrom, grilled zucchini on wholemeal bread and sourdough bread with grilled beef and chanterelles. The second tier is filled with assorted Norwegian cheeses with seasonal compote, while the top tier has sweet petit fours from Bristol’s own patisserie. 

The culinary treats are accompanied by a carefully selected array of drinks, ranging from various wines and signature cocktails to assorted mocktails and tea-inspired drinks. Perhaps we can tempt you to a Hendrick’s Vintage Tea Pot with gin, cucumber, chamomile and mint? 

It is also possible to order tidbits like caviar and oysters, as well as a simpler à la carte selection based on the culinary dishes served at Bristol Grill. Perfect for those who want to enjoy a different culinary experience, whether together with the family, a special someone or good friends.

Welcome!
