If there’s one place that knows how to mix festive flair with Cape flavour, it’s 126 Cape Kitchen & Café at the Hyatt Regency Cape Town.
This year, they’re rolling out a Christmas menu that’s far from ordinary — it’s a rich, joyful celebration of heritage, hospitality, and holiday indulgence.
Think carving stations, Cape-inspired curries, festive roasts, sweet treats piled high, and a grazing station that would make even Santa cancel his next stop.
🥖 Start with Warm Welcomes
The Bread Basket is your first sign this isn’t your standard buffet. Expect fresh mosbolletjies, rotis, naan, and potato buns — a tribute to the Cape’s vibrant culinary mosaic. Then hit the Grazing Station to DIY your dream plate from colourful salads, festive quinoa, deli meats, and goat’s cheese perfection.
🔥 Carvery & Hot Station – The Heart of the Holiday Table
The Carvery Live Station stars:
-
Paprika thyme spatchcock chicken
-
Roast beef with caramelised onion gravy
-
Stuffed lamb leg with lemon, garlic and rosemary
Meanwhile, the Hot Station brings the heat with:
-
Lamb tagine, butter chicken, and a bold Bo-Kaap beef biryani
-
Seafood paella, potato gratin, and saffron basmati rice with raisins and almonds
-
Served with sides like Yorkshire pudding, pumpkin fritters, and maple-glazed carrots
This is where festive comfort food meets Cape Town spice.
🍣 Heritage Bites & Global Flavours
Don’t skip the Selection of Sides and Sushi Platters, where dhaltjies, samoosas, and homemade pies sit comfortably alongside wasabi and soya sauce — a table where Cape Town’s food cultures meet and mingle.
🍰 Sweet Table Live Station – Dessert, But Make It Dramatic
Dessert is anything but an afterthought here. The Sweet Table Live Station features:
-
A croquembouche tower dripping in salted caramel
-
Trifle, chocolate Swiss rolls, and panna cotta with strawberry compôte
-
Meringue trees, Koe’sisters, and cardamom pistachio shortbread that feels like a warm hug in biscuit form
It’s a sugar-dusted finale that’s both elegant and nostalgic.
Whether you’re celebrating with loved ones, hosting out-of-town guests, or simply refusing to lift a finger in the kitchen this Christmas, 126 Cape Kitchen & Café has your feast sorted — and then some.
