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.

    A great experience with outstanding food but service could improve. We waited a long time to be served and never received our second pot of tea. Staff is friendly but scarce.

    I was disappointed with the experience. At least have a small vase of flowers on the table to add a touch of beauty and elegance. There was no beauty in the room. I won't be back, this afternoon tea doesn't come close to tea at the Mount Nelson, Table Bay, or Oyster Box.

    Good day We had an overall good experience. Brenda was phenomenal and really gave wonderful service. Also I have to mention that Lindelani in reservations was an absolute star assisting with the reservation.

    From the welcome to the last goodbye was done with grace and attention to detail. Every bite a culinary work of art. We loved the ambiance of the restaurant, friendly warm service and spectacular view. Beautiful decor and art to admire and a calm atmosphere away from the hustle and bustle of the busy Waterfront.
