High Tea at Anthonij Rupert Tasting room on the 24th December was an excellent way to start Christmas. We felt totally spoilt as we were transported into a magical world with the most delectable delights paired with the best Cap Classique. - Dr George Cilliers
Excellent hosting. Superb and a generous amount of food. Overall a great experience and value. - Rivahl-J Ramlall
We wanted to go for High Tea at Mount Nelson or Table Bay Hotel as we had done before. Luckily they were booked out and we went to Anthonij Rupert. We are used to good service, but here the service was amazing. Unlike Mount Nelson, checking in at the lobby counter, we were greeted with a glas of sparkling wine. Here we were not a number, we felt like welcomed friends. Everything was explained in great detail. We felt very at home and will be back! PLUS it was less expensive although we thought the quality was far better - not to mention the garden view! Thank you! - Jens Kalrait (CEO - X-ACON LLC)
