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.

Specials

Christmas in July

Wander into a snow-kissed Swiss chalet where Christmas never left. Toast marshmallows at the smores bar, swirl strawberries in a Lindt chocolate fountain, and nibble on turkey, gammon, and candy cane dreams. With mulled wine in hand and the scent of spice in the air, its a winter wonder.

    The venue is absolutely stunning, and the service was generally friendly. The Afternoon Tea menu was well thought out and the food itself was of high quality. However, there were several aspects of our visit that left us disappointed. We had made a reservation specifically for Afternoon Tea and noted in the booking that we would be four people, with only three partaking. When we realized we were running late, we called ahead to inform the team and also added a fourth guest who would be joining for tea. Upon arrival at 15:20, we were surprised to find that the table had not been set for Afternoon Tea. The staff member who seated us mentioned that our booking was not registered as such, and the table needed to be reset accordingly. Shortly after, our waiter came to explain how the Afternoon Tea works and confirmed that only four people would be eating – exactly as we had noted in our reservation. This miscommunication made us feel unwelcome from the outset. Unfortunately, we also experienced a long wait for tea, coffee, and the food – particularly the scones – which gave the impression that our table had been overlooked or treated as an afterthought. This dampened our mood significantly, especially as we had just gotten married and were hoping for a special experience. While we appreciated Rocky’s efforts and found the food to be excellent, the overall service did not reflect the level of care we expected given the price. Sadly, we left feeling disappointed and are not in a hurry to return.

While we are happy to know you found the space beautiful and enjoyed the quality of our Afternoon Tea, we are truly sorry that the start of your visit did not not go as smoothly as we had hoped for. We understand how disappointing it is to arrive and find your table not set for Afternoon Tea, as well as the extended waiting times. Please accept our utmost apologies once again for our oversights. It was a pleasure speaking with you directly, and we are happy you accepted our invitation to return for Afternoon Tea. We look forward to welcoming you back and providing the seamless, memorable experience you deserve. Kind regards, Sibusiso Molebale Manager, Vista Bar & Lounge
