EDGE led Head Chef Vusi Ndlovu and General Manager Absie Pantshwa, is open for dinner from Wednesday to Sunday.

Restaurant EDGE initiates creative collaborations with like-minded partners to produce a holistic celebration of the African continent.

Conceptualised by Chef Vusi Ndlovu and inspired by his own heritage and experience, EDGE focuses on underutilised ingredients, progressive techniques and recipes passed down over generations, allowing guests to discover a snapshot of Africa on each plate.

The result is menus that showcase the components that make Africa so meaningful.

An ever-changing curation of dishes highlight indigenous ingredients, sourced from local markets, traditional artisans and small-scale farmers and in turn, serve as an opportunity to support local businesses.

With a focus on cooking over flame, dishes are reimagined in a contemporary, minimalist and respectful way, invoking a strong sense of community and tradition (Gogo’s – grandmother’s – cooking) reminiscent of African storytelling around the fire.

The wine list will parallel the kitchen and feature an exciting rotation of local independent wineries, focusing on minimal intervention and natural labels which are ‘progressive regional’ from boutique producers.

An innovative curated cocktail list has been developed exclusively by the EDGE team using African spirits, botanicals and ingredients.

From the food, to the wine, to the art on the walls and even the apparel design on the staff, Chef Vusi and his team will set Africa in all her summer glory against the backdrop of the iconic Table Mountain and Mount Nelson hotel in the beating heart of Cape Town.

Opening Times: Wednesday to Sunday: 19:00 – 23:00

Welcome to the most iconic Afternoon Tea in Africa – a bucket list experience!

The Mount Nelson first introduced Afternoon Tea in November 1989.

It was served in the lounge from the majestic Windsor Table.

The custom of taking Afternoon Tea was invented by the Duchess of Bedford and Queen Victoria’s lady-in-waiting nearly 200 years ago in order to bridge the long gap between lunch and dinner.

Our selection of over 70 fine loose-leaf teas and sustainably sourced coffee from around Africa and a sumptuous array of sweet and savory delicacies carefully curated by Head Pastry Chef Vicky Gurovich and expertly trained Tea Sommelier Craig Cupido will ensure an unforgettable experience!

Afternoon Tea is served in the lounge, on the terrace or around the garden fountain.

Seating times are 12:00:00pm and 3:00pm
