Three Courses, Historic Gardens and an Egg Hunt: Easter at The Cellars-Hohenort

Easter Sunday has a way of bringing people together. Families gather, friends reconnect, and tables fill with food that feels a little more special than usual.

At The Conservatory, Easter is celebrated in elegant style with a three-course lunch set within the estate’s historic gardens in the Constantia Valley.

Taking place on Sunday, 5 April 2026 from 12h00 to 14h30, the occasion promises a relaxed afternoon of seasonal flavours, beautiful surroundings, and a few delightful surprises for younger guests.

A Seasonal Menu Worth Savouring

The Easter lunch menu has been carefully crafted to celebrate the flavours of the season.

Guests can begin with dishes such as Beetroot Cured Salmon Sashimi with citrus salsa and avocado, Seared Springbok Tataki with caramelised onion croquettes, or a fresh Waldorf Salad with candied walnuts and cranberry gel.

For the main course, the kitchen presents a selection of standout dishes including the richly flavoured Oak Smoked Rack of Lamb with hot cross bun purée, a comforting Roasted Rolled Pork Belly, delicate Atlantic Sole Paupiette, or a beautifully prepared Vegetables Assiette for those seeking a plant-forward option.

Dessert brings a sweet finale with choices such as Chai Chiffon with Buttermilk Crémeux and roasted apricot sorbet, or a decadent Crème Bavaroises with blueberry, lemon and pistachio ice cream. In other words, it is the sort of menu that encourages lingering a little longer at the table.

A Little Easter Magic for the Kids

While adults enjoy their leisurely lunch, younger guests have their own exciting highlight to look forward to.

Children will be treated to a dedicated kids’ menu as well as the much-loved annual Garden Easter Egg Hunt, where little explorers can search the gardens for hidden treats and a bit of Easter magic. It adds a playful touch to the afternoon and ensures that guests of all ages leave with smiles.

A Setting Made for Celebration

Part of what makes Easter at The Conservatory so special is the setting itself.

Nestled within the lush gardens of Constantia, the venue offers a peaceful and elegant atmosphere that feels perfectly suited to a celebratory gathering. Surrounded by greenery and historic charm, guests can relax into the afternoon while enjoying thoughtful hospitality and beautifully presented dishes. It is a setting that invites conversation, laughter, and perhaps a second helping of dessert.
