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.

    The high tea experience was absolutely exceptional. I truly enjoyed my birthday treat in style. The sophisticated yet relaxed atmosphere of the lounge set the perfect tone for a memorable afternoon. The beautiful live piano music playing softly in the background added an incredible layer of elegance, creating a wonderfully soothing and upscale ambience. The presentation was absolutely stunning, arriving on a beautiful multi-tiered tower that looked like a work of art. Every single bite was outstanding. The savoury selection offered a clever, modern twist on classic finger sandwiches, while the pastries and sweets were masterfully crafted, perfectly balanced and not overly sugary. What really sets this place apart, however, is the beverage selection and the service. The tea menu is extensive, and the pairing experience elevated the entire afternoon. If you are looking for an upscale, delicious and beautifully curated high tea experience in a chic bar and lounge setting, this is hands-down the best spot in town. Five stars all around, I cannot wait to return
