Decadent High Tea

High Tea 1

There are a few places in Cape Town where you can enjoy spectacular teas.

Table Bay Hotel

My niece treated me to High Tea at Table Bay Hotel on the Waterfront.

High Tea 2

There was an incredible selection of different teas and delicious mini savoury starters.

High Tea 3

Even the Ladies was sumptuous!

Ladies

There were gild mirrors and vases of proteas on display. You were provided with fresh individual cloth towels, which you disposed of after use down the circular holes you can see in the photo.

High Tea 4

To finish there was a large table covered in amazing cakes and single serving desserts, such as tiramisu.

High Tea 1

There was even gold leaf on some cakes!

Decadence indeed!

Eyes shut tight against the constant, unrelenting water fall, this orange lion stands his ground.

Watched impassively by a stony-eyed cherub.

Fountain 2

Or two.

High Tea

While we indulge in High Tea.

Fountain 3

Mesmerised by the silver cascade.

 

post script: There are so many wonderful places to have Afternoon Tea in Cape Town; we are really spoilt for choice!
