This Mother’s Day, Palm House Boutique Hotel & Spa isn’t just opening its doors—it’s rolling out the red carpet.
On Sunday, 11 May, in partnership with Moët & Chandon, they’re celebrating the queens of the day with not one but two dreamy dining experiences, both designed to spoil her absolutely rotten (as it should be).
🥂 Option 1: The Mother’s Day 3-Course Sunday Lunch
12:30 PM – 3:00 PM | R625 per person | Palm Terrace [full menu]
Kick things off with a glass of Moët & Chandon and choose your own adventure:
Starters range from luxe Saldanha Bay oysters with a buchu bokkom twist, to a citrusy pear and hazelnut salad, or a fragrant Cape Malay hake and mussel chowder.
For mains, take your pick between:
-
Pan-roasted Kingklip with lemon beurre blanc
-
Confit duck leg with rooibos jus and honey-glazed turnips
-
Or a gorgeous Butternut & Buchu Risotto with toasted almonds (vegetarian-friendly and full of flair)
Dessert? It’s a hard choice between a classic Elgin apple tarte tatin and a rich dark chocolate fondant with naartjie sorbet. Either way, Mom’s winning.
☕ Option 2: The 9-Course Mother’s Day Afternoon Tea
2:30 PM – 5:00 PM | R695 per person | Fireside Lounge [full menu]
If your mom loves tiny treats, fragrant teas, and refined indulgence, this is her vibe. Start with Moët & Chandon and a West Coast oyster, then tuck into nine courses of perfection:
From dainty tea sandwiches and wild mushroom tartlets to show-stopping sweets like fynbos honey madeleines, buchu & almond macarons, and a 70% dark chocolate opera slice—this is not your average tea party.
Sip from a curated South African tea menu (hello, honeybush & rose petal), or upgrade to artisan coffee with your choice of milk. It’s indulgent, elegant, and exactly how a Mother’s Day afternoon should taste.
Two options. One gorgeous setting. Infinite ways to say “thank you, Mom.” But space is limited and word travels fast when bubbly is involved.
