Situated in the heart of One&Only Cape Town, the untameable spirit of Vista ignites an exciting reaction. Floor-to-ceiling windows frame majestic views of Table Mountain and a sculptural centrepiece above the bar symbolises the mythical tale of this natural wonder. Day-to-evening entertainment abounds and live music fills the air. From the kitchen, vibrant dishes showcase the flavours of the region, avant-garde Afternoon Tea is a cause for celebration, and masterfully crafted cocktails tempt the palate.

Kindly note that balloons and table décor are not permitted in any of the public venues at One&One Cape Town.

Private venues are available upon request.

    I had lunch with a friend, and our server was incredibly kind and highly professional. Sibu was also there and took the time to greet us and confirm a complicated lunch order that my friend had. As always, Sibu and his team went above and beyond to ensure that our every request was met, no matter how big or impossible it may seem. It was another memorable visit, and we truly appreciate the exceptional service. Thank you.

    Lovely place with stunning views. I had kingklip with black rice, so flavorful and mouthwatering. The ambiance was also amazing. A big shout out to the staff, I dont have words for how great they are. I enjoyed my Saturday afternoon there.

    Can’t believe how basic the serving tiers were… like out of an ordinary kitchen … it’s high tea people.. rather call it afternoon tea… and no lovely fresh sandwiches .. too much sweet stuff … very disappointing after visiting it about 5 years ago …

    Dear Lorraine, Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We are truly sorry to your recent visit didn’t meet expectations, especially after having enjoyed the experience some years ago. We regret that it’s taken us this long to refresh our look, but we are pleased to share that a new look is on its way. We understand this didn’t help during your visit, and for that, we sincerely apologise. Your feedback about the balance of sweet items have been shared with our culinary team, and we appreciate your insight. As for the sandwiches, you are absolutely right; the fresh sandwiches are indeed part of the Afternoon Tea experience, and it was an oversight on our part not to have them presented. Please accept our utmost apologies once again, we hope to welcome you back soon for the Afternoon Tea experience you truly deserve. Kind regards, Sibusiso Molebale Manager, Vista Bar & Lounge

    We are frequent visitors to Vista Bar, and sadly, on every occasion something seems to go wrong. The steady deterioration in both service and hospitality, along with the declining quality of the food, leaves one with a very disappointing and bitter taste. Vista Bar no longer lives up to its four-star rating, and if urgent attention is not paid to these issues, I fear it will soon slip to three stars.
