A timeless ritual, reimagined.
Set within the elegant surrounds of The Lobby Lounge & Bar at Four Seasons Hotel The Westcliff Johannesburg, Afternoon Tea is a contemporary celebration of craftsmanship, connection and indulgence. Curated by Executive Pastry Chef Nathan Jacobs, the experience showcases an array of newly created sweet and savoury selections, handcrafted pâtisserie, freshly baked scones and premium Nigiro teas. Thoughtfully designed to balance flavour, texture and artistry, the menu offers a fresh interpretation of a timeless tradition.

Guests may choose between The Westcliff Afternoon Tea, accompanied by a glass of South African Méthode Cap Classique, or the newly launched Champagne Afternoon Tea Experience. Designed to elevate the occasion, the Champagne Afternoon Tea Experience includes a welcome glass of Moët & Chandon Brut Impérial Champagne and exclusive surprise-and-delight moments throughout the experience. Whether joining us for a celebration, a special gathering with friends or a spontaneous afternoon indulgence, every sitting is designed to be savoured.

Available throughout the week, Afternoon Tea offers a refined escape in the elegant surrounds of The Lobby Lounge & Bar. From Friday to Sunday, guests can also enjoy live entertainment, adding to the atmosphere of connection, relaxation and celebration.

For those who believe every occasion deserves Champagne, discover a new way to celebrate at Four Seasons Hotel The Westcliff.

    We had a wonderful expeirence at Afternoon Tea. The view was beauiful, the staff was so kind, and we enjoyed the teas and the food. We especially enjoyed learning about all the teas before making our selection. The restaurant was quiet, clean, and had an extraordinary view.

    We have had better high tea experiences. The four seasons one was not the one. Even the food was not nice. Definitely not value for money

    Definitely won’t recommend for tea. Food was limited and there were no beverage options. It was more a tea exhibition than a high tea. We ordered English tea and were not even provided with milk. The tea is a take what you get.. rather than a treat. Very disappointed given the other teas that I have attended. Definitely the worst except for ambience

    Dear Ms Chetty, Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback with us. We sincerely apologise that your afternoon tea experience did not meet your expectations, particularly regarding the food selection, beverage options, and the service of your English tea. The afternoon tea is a set experience and we do not serve sugar or milk with the teas as we aim for you to experience the teas how the blender intended for them to be. From Four seasons Team.

    The place was even nicer than we expected! The service was amazing, and we had such a wonderful time. We really enjoyed the high tea experience. The lady who served us was incredibly friendly, attentive, and very knowledgeable. She made the experience even more enjoyable. We would definitely recommend this place and would love to visit again!
