If your idea of Afternoon Tea involves delicate cucumber sandwiches and Earl Grey in bone china—think again.
Taj Cape Town has reimagined this timeless ritual with bold flavours, local flair, and a distinctly Indian-Cape twist.
It’s heritage, elegance, and indulgence stacked on a tiered stand—and it’s calling your name.
- Afternoon Tea at the Taj isn’t just tea and cake. It’s a full-flavoured journey. Think chicken quiche squares, corn & cheese samosas, and Swiss roll sandwiches with smoked salmon and cheese. There’s also a delightful potato pakoda and even a dainty spring dosa, all paired with sweet chilli, mint, and yoghurt sauces. It’s high tea, but with real spice.
- Of course, no tea is complete without a little sugar rush—and Taj delivers in style. On the sweet side of things, guests can savour mini masterpieces like gulab jamun, triple chocolate tart, Cape Town’s favourite carrot cake, and blush velvet cake, not to mention an array of colourful macarons and lemon meringue tarts.
And the tea?
You’ll sip on handpicked favourites like Masala Chai, Rooibos, and iced teas straight from the buffet, along with refreshing detox waters for balance.
All of this in the refined setting of the Lobby Lounge & Bar—a polished hideaway in the heart of the city that still feels like a secret.
