    We loved our Royal Tea and the wonderful setting in which it was served. The decor fits in so well with the concrete industrial base of what is now an impressive and iconic building on the Cape Town skyline. Our Royal Tea went far beyond our expectations. Everything was delicious and beautifully prepared and well accompanied by the selection of different teas. A special mention is given for the service which was friendly and efficient. All in all, an experience to remember.

    the bread rolls and scons were not oven fresh, and there could have been more cucumber sandwiches and less cakes!

    The best High Tea experience thus far. Will definitely be returning. Anga, our waiter, was friendly, very interactive and put a smile on our faces. We were very impressed with him. Give that man a managerial position.

    Hi, I’ve had the pleasure of experiencing the afternoon tea at The Silo a couple times, and this may have been my most disappointing. The service and staff were amazing as usually, I was just really disappointed in the food. The combination of sweet and savoury treats is normally phenomenal. Thai time round, everything tasted stale. The scones were hard, the milk bun and madeleines were dry and the chicken slider filling was average coupled with a bun that seemed like it was a day old. At R575, this is one of the most expensive high teas in the Cape Town and given my previous experiences I expected it to be as memorable, sadly it wasn’t. :-(
