Christmas Day at The Cape Milner is shaping up to be less “silent night” and more “spectacular spread” thanks to their indulgent Christmas Buffet Menu—a celebration of flavour, flair, and festive cheer that leaves no craving behind.
Set in the heart of Cape Town, The Cape Milner is rolling out a holiday banquet so lavish even Santa might consider swapping milk and cookies for a reservation at their table.
For R850 per person, guests are invited to dive fork-first into a culinary procession designed to make your inner foodie jingle all the way.
- It all begins with baskets of homemade focaccia and brioche buns, paired with flavoured butters and dips that’ll test your willpower not to fill up too soon. Then come the appetisers—think beef tongue terrine with pistachio and cranberry, silky smoked snoek rillette, and petite apple and gruyere tartlets that disappear far too easily.
- The salad spread reads like a green-goddess wish list: smoked salmon, stemmed broccoli with goat’s cheese, couscous tossed with grilled cajun chicken, and a crunchy boutique salad that proves vegetables really can be exciting.
- Then, just as you think you’ve got your favourites picked, the carvery arrives in its full festive glory. Honey-glazed gammon, slow-cooked leg of lamb, and succulent whole roasted turkey—basically every Christmas tradition, slow-roasted into submission.
- But pace yourself… because the entrées are still incoming. Highlights include a comforting grand beef goulash pithivier, decadent mussel and prawn fusilli, fragrant Thai coconut chicken curry, and lentil, kale and ricotta cannelloni for the veggie stars at the table.
- And then—oh yes—the dessert finale. The Cape Milner isn’t playing around: red velvet cake topped with gold leaf, dark chocolate mousse pots, trifle, mince pies, local cheeses, and a plum and cherry clafoutis that practically defines Christmas indulgence.
It’s festive. It’s generous. It’s delicious. And it’s exactly the kind of memory-making meal that turns Christmas Day from lovely to legendary. Booking is essential—unless you want to be the only one in Cape Town eating leftovers while everyone else brags about the buffet.
