The gracious Mountain Nelson Hotel in the heart of the city is the place to go for the best high tea in town. This is a grand occasion in the conservatory overlooking the beautiful hotel grounds, with tables laden with delicate sandwiches, a vast array of sweet treats and delicious scones prepared fresh each day. Be sure to try melktert (milk tart) – a South African favourite – and sip a cup or two of exquisitely brewed tea or something stronger while relaxing to the sounds of the piano in the background.
