Pigalle Cape Town has always known how to put on a show, and this New Year’s Eve, the iconic restaurant is leaning fully into glamour.
With its signature blend of old-world elegance, live entertainment, and a menu built around indulgence, Pigalle invites diners to welcome 2026 with a feast designed for celebration.
At R2995 per person, Pigalle’s New Year’s Eve celebration is crafted as an elegant night out—one that blends fine dining with a sense of occasion.
The evening begins with Starters that set a luxurious tone. A Summer Salad offers a light and refreshing opening, while the Springbok Carpaccio, marinated with white truffle and aromatic herbs, brings richness without heaviness. Seafood lovers can choose the Trio of Oysters—done three ways: Gazpacho, Asian, and Thermidor. For those who prefer something bold, the Cubed Lamb with garlic, chilli, and gremolata brings warm, festive savour. Before moving on, guests enjoy a Lemon Posset palate cleanser, a bright and citrusy moment that resets the senses for what’s next.
And what comes next is truly the star of the evening.
Pigalle’s Mains offer four distinct but equally celebratory options.
The West Coast Crayfish with Langoustines is a showstopper: poached in butter, kissed with chilli and garlic, and flash-grilled with Pigalle’s signature seafood basting sauce. The Lime and Chilli Red Sea Bass, marinated with white truffle and aromatic herbs, paired with garlic shallots and a parmesan crisp, brings sophistication without losing its playful edge. For meat enthusiasts, the Tender Lamb Rump with Lamb Giblets, served alongside black truffle and parmesan polenta, broccolini, and roasted garlic purée, delivers depth and comfort in equal measure. And then there’s the Pigalle Platter of King Prawns and Langoustines, a classic that allows the restaurant’s famous seafood basting to shine.
Dessert leans unapologetically into indulgence. The Decadent Dark Chocolate Tart arrives with crème fraîche and cherry compote, balancing richness with bright fruit. The Marula Crème Brûlée, served with a shot of marula liquor, offers a truly South African twist on a French classic. And the Biscoff Cheesecake with Salted Caramel Ganache is the kind of grand finale that makes diners consider skipping the countdown just to savour another bite.
From the truffle-laced starters to the seafood splendour and the decadent desserts, the menu reads like a curated journey through the flavours Pigalle is known for.
More than just a dinner, this is a night designed to be remembered: live music, candlelit tables, and a festive atmosphere that builds gently toward midnight. For anyone looking to welcome 2026 with flair, flavour, and a touch of old-school romance, Pigalle Cape Town delivers the perfect stage.
