Tibetan Teahouse

The Tibetan Teahouse The Teahouse leads onto a deep set and sheltered verandah and has fabulous views over False Bay and is ideal for whale watching.

The menu offers imaginative and tasty vegetarian and vegan food, styled on original Tibetan recipes, and is praised by vegans, vegetarians and non-vegetarians alike. In winter a cosy fireplace and a hearty plate of Sherpa Stew takes care of the the cold. All meals and cakes are made on the premises from the finest ingredients.

Join us for a cup of our homemade spice Chai or Tibetan butter tea served in a wooden cup. In fact, Tibetan folklore states that...

Tibetan folklore has it that food prepared by one person may not taste as nice as that prepared by another, although they use the exact same ingredients. This is explained by their belief that some people have an invisible power which enables them to prepare delicious food. This power is called ‘lagchus"

(nourishing hand).

We serve an all day menu with cooked food served until 16:30 and cake and tea until 17:00
