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.

Christmas in July

A little wicked winter warmth never felt so festive. R695 per person. Lush greens, golden bites, and a mood that leans a little bit wicked. Indulgence takes centre stage; croffles made fresh, truffle chicken roulade, perfectly baked pretzel fingers, playful pinwheels, indulgent spread that invites you to stray, just slightly, from tradition

    Being allowed to play the piano for my family at their birthday celebration was a highlight, One day I would like a job like that, playing the piano while people drink their tea. It was a moment not to be forgotten. Just watch out for the basement parking, it is very limited and very tight. Otherwise, a very very special moment.
