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.

    I was a bit taken aback by the automatic addition of a 12.5% service fee. I think it should be left to the guests to determine a fair fee. Not pleasant to quibble about it once it appears on the bill.

    I wasn't sure what to expect, but it ended up being a fabulous experience and we enjoyed ourselves. The food was amazing - the canapes had such interesting and delicious flavours. The sandwiches were subtle but not overbearing. The scones - the added extra of lemon curd ensured they were not too sweet with the strawberry jam and cream. Finally the pastries - for me the Scoff Tiramisu was my favourite. The lemon line and apple vanilla tart were both yummy. The peach melba we both did not enjoy - however once we removed the base biscuit it was quite nice. The selection of teas was perfect. My favourite was the Pu-Erh Tea Peals and second favourite was the Moringa Matcha. Overall can highly recommend the Afternoon Tea Collaboration. Looking forward to the next offering.
