\"Afternoon<\/p>\n

The New Conservatory at Leeu Estates<\/b><\/h4>\n

A new conservatory has been built over the deck at the beautiful Leeu Estates<\/a> <\/strong>property in\u00a0Franschhoek<\/a><\/strong> and the enclosed glass space is perfect for a leisurely tea experience. The conservatory overlooks the impressive garden and some of the artwork collection \u2013 it really is a gorgeous view to take in.<\/p>\n

Afternoon Tea at Leeu Estates<\/b><\/h4>\n

Afternoon tea is served on two 3-tiered cake stands with a mix of delightful sweets and savouries. In total it\u2019s quite a lot of food and everything is yummy, so make sure you skip lunch and go with a tea-and-treats-loving friend.<\/p>\n

The spread is a lovely mix of goodies, from a chocolate cherry bonbon (a beautiful filled chocolate) to a delightfully textured pistachio dacquoise with a creamy white chocolate icing. The savouries include a really yummy sliver of rare roast beef served on a wafer, with mustard mayo and a crispy mini onion ring. Smashed avo and feta on seed bread and a\u00a0smoked salmon bite with cr\u00e8me fra\u00eeche and pickled cucumber are the two other tasty savouries.<\/p>\n

The Pi\u00e8ce de R\u00e9sistance<\/b><\/h4>\n

There are both plain and apricot scones served with berry compote and clotted cream. Almond cakes with a beautiful chocolate glaze are topped with delicate chocolate work decoration and a granadilla meringue provides delicious tartness. But the pi\u00e8ce de r\u00e9sistance for us had to be the textbook perfect macarons.\u00a0 Pineapple and coconut macarons tasted of a wonderful tropical island getaway, the texture was perfect and they just melted in the mouth. Heaven! (Note: cakes and treats will change with seasonality).<\/p>\n
