If there’s one ritual that never goes out of style, it’s Afternoon Tea—and at Palm House, it’s taken to a whole new level of luxury, indulgence, and charm.
Nestled in a serene setting, the Palm Terrace invites guests to slow down, sip, and savor an exquisite selection of sweet and savory delights, all perfectly paired with TWK’s finest teas, barista-crafted coffee, or a glass of Cap Classique.
A Tradition Worth Savoring
- Inspired by the quintessential English custom of Afternoon Tea, Palm House pays homage to the tradition once loved by the Duchess of Bedford, who started the ritual to cure her afternoon hunger pangs. Fortunately, guests today don’t need to be nobility to indulge—just a love for fine pastries, flavorful savories, and a touch of elegance.
🍰 Sweet Treats to Delight
For those with a sweet tooth, the Palm Terrace Afternoon Tea does not disappoint. Guests can expect a lineup of decadent handcrafted desserts, including:
🍋 Artisan Lemon Cheesecake Delice with Cape berry compote.
🍫 Chocolate Entremets—a heavenly trio of caramel, 53% chocolate mousse, and triple chocolate sponge.
🍑 Macarons with Apricot Crémeux—delicate, airy, and bursting with flavor.
🥭 Vanilla Mousse with Mango Pearls—a tropical dream in every bite.
🍪 All-spiced Scones with date compôte and crème chantilly—because no Afternoon Tea is complete without scones!
🥪 Savory Selections for the Perfect Balance
For those who appreciate a more balanced spread, the selection of savory bites is just as tempting:
🥒 Cucumber & Truffle Cream Cheese Sandwiches—a timeless classic with a gourmet twist.
🐟 Smoked Tuna Sandwiches—delicate, flavorful, and utterly refined.
🍏 Elgin Apple & Chicken Pot Pies—comfort food in the most elegant form.
🍛 Bobotie Martini with Geelrys Arancini—a uniquely South African take on a high tea bite.
