Chocolate First: Tibballs Brings High Tea to Suva

Calling all chocolate lovers, your ultimate indulgence has arrived in Suva! For the first time ever, Kirsten Tibballs, Australia’s world-renowned pastry chef and chocolatier, affectionately known as The Chocolate Queen, is bringing her signature creations to the Grand Pacific Hotel.

On Sunday, March 22nd 2026, the Victoria Lounge Terrace will transform into a haven of chocolate, elegance, and craft. From Passionfruit Macarons, Raspberry Financier, Salted Caramel Truffles, Cookie Sandwiches with Orange Ganache, to Breton Lemon Meringue Tart, every bite is a celebration of flavour, detail, and artistry.

“Grand Pacific Hotel is part of Suva’s story and this residency gives locals and visiting guests a rare reason to dress up, book in, and experience high tea at a level we do not often see in the capital,” says Robert Clark, General Manager, Grand Pacific Hotel Suva.

Tickets are FJ$80 per person, with seating strictly limited so booking ahead is essential.

The chocolate journey continues at InterContinental Fiji Golf Resort and Spa in Natadola Bay from March 25th to 28th 2026, offering a series of dessert focused experiences designed for guests seeking rare and intimate moments. Adding even more sweetness, FJ$5 from each sale of select experiences will support Daulomani Safe Home, providing shelter and safety for women, children, and members of the LGBT+ community.

“Bringing Tibballs to Fiji is about more than a visiting chef, it is about creating experiences people will travel for, and giving both Suva and Natadola Bay something genuinely distinctive for a limited time,” says Lachlan Walker, Regional General Manager, Fiji and Pacific, IHG Hotels & Resorts.

“I am excited to bring this experience to Suva for the first time. High tea is about detail, flavour, and a sense of occasion, and I look forward to sharing an indulgent afternoon at Grand Pacific Hotel, then continuing the week with guests in Natadola Bay,” adds Tibballs.

Whether you are a chocoholic, a dessert enthusiast, or simply looking for a memorable afternoon of elegance, this is a rare treat you will not want to miss.
