And how\u00a0marvellous\u00a0it is! My first experience was at the Mount Nelson, which was absolutely delectable. I then attended the afternoon tea at the Cape Grace Hotel in the V&amp;A Waterfront. It is absolutely fit for a Queen.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Served daily from 12h00 to 18h00 in the stylishly comfortable Library, the choice of several varieties of loose-leaf tea combined with some intricately prepared treats, makes for an awesome afternoon. This also makes for a fantastic venue for Bridal or Baby showers.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">First on offer is the <em>Cream Tea<\/em>. For R65 you&#8217;ll get home-made scones, strawberry jam and cream served with either loose-leaf tea or coffee.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Then, presented in gorgeous tiers is the <em>Afternoon Tea<\/em>. For R80 you&#8217;ll receive freshly baked traditional and savoury scones, a selection of beautifully cut finger sandwiches and irresistible sweet treats served with either loose-leaf tea or coffee.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The <em>Afternoon Tea<\/em> is also available with the added luxury of a glass of sparkling wine, that is the <em>Deluxe Afternoon Tea<\/em>, which is served at R125 per person. I had this one! A fabulous mix of sweet and savoury snacks.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Lastly, for the not-so-hungry, you&#8217;ll pay R40 for a slice of home-made cake.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">With a choice of Black, White, Green and Herbal teas, there is something for every palate. And of course pure Highland Rooibos, grown wild on the high altitude Cederberg Mountains &#8211; also known as the Red Gold of South Africa, is available as one of the healthy caffeine-free herbal options.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">To make a booking for Afternoon Tea in The Library, contact Signal Restaurant on 021 410 7100 or signal@capegrace.com<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Afternoon tea at the Cape Grace Hotel in the V&#038;A Waterfront.
