With the cries of Atlantic seagulls overhead, the gentle splash of seals below and the rhythmic clink of yacht masts in the breeze, Cape Grace’s Afternoon Tea is a timeless Cape Town experience set on the edge of the V&A Waterfront marina, with Table Mountain rising majestically beyond. Long regarded as an iconic ritual in Cape Town, this elegant afternoon unfolds with delicate savouries, exquisite pastries and freshly baked scones, curated by our renowned pastry team and served in a refined waterfront setting where tradition meets contemporary luxury.


For younger guests, our Kid's Afternoon Tea captures the magic of the ocean. Inspired by mermaids, sea creatures and the shimmering marina, this playful yet thoughtfully crafted experience invites children aged 5–12 into a world of imagination and delight — making Afternoon Tea at Cape Grace a memorable luxury experience for the whole family.

    My guests and I had a marvellous experience of this luxurious high tea. Thank you Cape Grace for treating us with such respect and reverence.My guests felt that they were thoroughly spoilt by how absolutely special the ambience made them feel. The pianist’s music during our hightea added a touch of class . The presentation of the treats from canapés to the grand finale paired with teas were well presented in stages. Nothing felt overwhelming. This has honestly been the best experience I have had in recent years. Well done Cape Grace! I’ll be back!

    They had a slot for 15:30 for afternoon tea we booked that and then when we got there they said afternoon tea ends at 16:30 and sure they were accommodating because we got to our booking 15 minutes late but why would you have a 15:30 slot if the tea will only be 1 hour long. Plus as compared to other places that offer afternoon tea Cape Grace does not have a variety of teas or food or cake. So definitely something to look out for.
