The best high tea experience we have ever had! Yes it is expensive, yes the bubbly is R100 per glass but OMG... great savories and a lavish spread of sweet offerings. The surroundings are fabulous and the service excellent. The pianist even played Happy Birthday to my son as they brought our a special Birthday plate for him! Highly recommended for a special occasion.

This is just our favorite gem to visit in Cape Town. O my gosh, the view of Table Mountain sitting in the lounge is incredible. We always order cappuccino and every time we receive a big bottle of cookies and honey. That all for R38! The kids ordered cocktails and that is always a work of art. The staff is kind and the environment incredible. This is a must do while in Cape Town

To celebrate my friend’s 21st, me and her went to the One & Only for the afternoon tea buffet and were completely oblivious to the fact that our booking coincided with the Royal Wedding. Simply put, it was a resplendent affair! For R325 per person, you can eat as many sweet and savoury treats as you want while enjoying the hotel’s wide selection of tea and coffee. Although they were delicious, the sweet treats overwhelmed me completely and I found myself requesting a glass of Chardonnay. A standout for me was the staff: they were so attentive and I must say that our waitron, Ncumisa, was beyond phenomenal!

Had a birthday high tea here. Can I say I indulged! Lots of options of eats and teas, tried various teas but the ones that stood out are caramel and orange spice. The ambiance here is top class as expected, but there is something about a Sunday that makes it all come together. I enjoyed the treats, and couldn't stop munching over the 3.5 hours. This was the first time doing a high tea and the standard has been set! 😁

Who doesn’t enjoy a spot of loose leafy tea with and amazing view of table mountain. The service the staff offer is professional and friendly and embodies that South African hospitality that we as a country are known for. I’m a huge fan of king proteas and seeing them dotted all around made me very happy.

Onto the food and drink. I’m a huge fan of loose leaf teas and tea infusions. I had my eye on the minced berry tea but after ordering turns out they didn’t have stock. I opted for the lemon infusion instead and later in the strawberry rooibos, both of a high quality. Food wise the nibbles are divided into a tray served savory platter and a get it yourself sweets table. Hands down the quality, presentation and creativity in each sweet treat trumps anything on offer on the savory plate. No offense to people who work hard to present a solid savory spread - but all the flavors kind of mesh into one and everything seems to be a derivate of pie pastry. I’m also a pain when it comes to presentation so if you are going to be all fancy about crustless cucumber fingers then please make sure there is actually no crust on the two fingers provided and that the cucumber actually goes from end to end on the sandwich. Little details like that add to the premium feeling of the tea. Sweet treats wise - I cannot commend the pastry chef enough for the stellar job. Interesting flavour combinations and surprises inside treats and well as the flawless presentation of each individual treat is simply outstanding.

Coming back I would definitely skip the savory to be honest and if I’m really going to be a pain I would say the crockery could be either more dainty for the high tea grandeur feeling or super rustic using local ceramics showcasing the talents of South African locals giving an interesting spin on the not so classic tea provided.

Pure class , from the moment you step out of your car and walk into those majestic doors.what I like s about this hotel bar is that they know their regulars and that for me goes beyond any service expectations.Alcohol pricing is not too expensive

One of my favourite High Teas in town. I love the fact that coffee type drinks (not just teas) are also included in the price. I would have however loved a wider savoury selection. The sweets are not as expansive as what you get at the Mount Nelly, but all in all, very yummy! My favourite were the milktart macaroons - so so very good!

I've visited vista multiple times and have had a different experience every time. One part of the experience that stood out was the service of the staff. Absolutely impeccable (most of the time) from a warm welcome to little conversations that make you feel like you're at home, you can relax and you have nothing to worry about. I'd been to 5 star establishments and their restaurants before and some definitely have something to learn. The attention to detail from the temperature inside, the scent, the sounds and placement of furniture just sets this establishment apart from the rest. A great escape from the buzz of the V&A waterfront and the city while still being right next to it's heart beat in this luxurious oasis. I'd love to give 5 stars but I'm yet to be blown away by my experience.

I can absolutely recommend the high tea experience at The One & Only. Great service, beautiful melodic piano music, a fab selection of savoury & sweet treats and a tea selection that complimented the whole experience perfectly. Seriously... try the berry tea! Thank you for making my mother's birthday one to remember.

Ordered their specialty which is ( yes , you read it correctly) hake and chips. The hake was perfect. White and flaky, not oily . Also had really exceptional oysters with an Asian noodle salad. Setting is great.We had to call for service 3 x times . So service could be faster.

Wow. What an awesome experience. Celebrated my Lovely Daughters birthday at the Vistor Lounge at the One and Only and Only in Cape Town. The ambience was awesome, the food was excellent and the service was the best we have experienced. Our waitor was Mr Sakhele. Wow, this young man is an asset to One and Only Vista Lounge. Thoroughly enjoyed our experience. Highly recommend this place to both locals and tourists. CAN ONE AND ONLY PLEASE GIVE MR SAKHELE THE WAITOR AT THE VISTA LOUNGE A BONUS.. THIS GENTLEMAN WAS JUST GREAT AND HE WAS PASSIONATE ABOUT HIS WORK..

A BIG up to Solo and Musa at Vista Bar and Lounge at the One and Only Hotel Cape Town after a really bad experience at Vista Lounge the last time we were there, Solo invited us back for cocktails and snacks and I must say a big thank you to Solo for inviting us back last night and thank you to Musa who was the best host for the night making us feel welcome and at home at the Vista Bar and Lounge we started with the Earth Cocktail which was amazingly refreshing and unique with its crumbled flake chocolate which is cleverly called edible sand, and with yesterday being World Chocolate Day it was very much enjoyed by myself and my best friend and for those who are reading this the price is reasonable at R160 per cocktail and I will definately recommend this and the other amazing cocktails on the menu at Vista Bar and Lounge! We look forward to visiting Musa and his team again soon where we will once again be treated like VIPs!

Just stop for an afternoon snack. In the atmosphere. The service was great. People were great and we really enjoyed the couple of hours of relaxation. I had the most wonderful papaya salad!

Absolutely brilliant services from Vista Bar last night. My wife and I decided to go to the One&Only and the service we got was phenomenal. Waiters were knowledgeable and polite. There was a young man by the name of Nabiel if I'm correct, he looked like the manager on duty. He immediately made us feel as home. I have seen him before at another establishment and he never seems to disappoint. We've been to Vista before but we can definitely see a huge change. His one of your greatest assets to the business. Hold on to him. He will be the next GM in the making. We'll be back soon. Regards Nick
