Introducing Cape Grace Hotel’s Afternoon Tea: A Cape Town Classic Reimagined

Cape Grace, A Fairmont Managed Hotel, is delighted to announce the launch of its newly crafted Afternoon Tea experience. Cape Grace brings this refined tradition to new heights, offering an escape filled with elegance, indulgence, and the enchanting beauty of the V&A Waterfront’s harbour setting. Cape Grace’s Afternoon Tea invites locals and visitors alike to unwind in timeless luxury and savour a distinctly Cape Town experience.

Refined classic and modern confections

At the heart of this afternoon tea in Cape Town is a thoughtfully curated menu by Executive Pastry Chef, Lorraine Meaney, who has brought her passion for detail and local flavour to each creation. From savoury highlights such as dainty tea sandwiches, prawn rolls, and Cape Malay-inspired frittatas, to the tempting array of pastries, this Afternoon Tea is a feast for the senses.

Further menu offerings include the Paris Brest, Tuile Dentelle, and airy Madeleines, as well as seasonal desserts that reflect the vibrant local flavours of the Cape. To complete this delectable selection, Cape Grace’s signature sweet and savoury scones are served fresh, with clotted cream and preserves, creating a perfect harmony of taste and tradition.

About the gourmet tea experience

Tea lovers will revel in the carefully selected range of teas, including Nigiro’s fine loose-leaf varieties and Cape Grace’s own exclusive blend.

For those wishing to elevate their afternoon, a glass of Rickety Bridge Blanc de Blanc Cap Classique offers a refreshing addition, embodying a sophisticated twist on the traditional tea experience. Each sip tells a story, connecting guests to the region’s rich history and hospitality.

A charming setting with views over the marina

The Afternoon Tea is served in Cape Grace’s newly refurbished restaurant, where floor-to-ceiling windows invite sunlight to dance across tables set against the breathtaking views of the yacht marina and Table Mountain.

The elegant yet inviting ambience sets the stage for both leisurely relaxation and intimate celebrations, making it an ideal choice for anniversaries, birthdays, or simply a refined escape from the day-to-day.
