Mother’s Day at Mint Restaurant and Wood-Fired Grill inside Taj Cape Town is set up to feel like an occasion from the moment guests arrive.
On 10 May, the space shifts into a full carnival-style brunch, balancing polished dining with a relaxed, celebratory mood.
It begins on a playful note with popcorn, flavoured milkshakes and ice cream, before moving into a wide, thoughtfully layered menu.
- The spread leans global. A delicatessen section brings cheeses, charcuterie and Mediterranean-style bites, while a Mexican bar adds bold flavours with salsas, guacamole and toppings. The sushi and poke corner keeps things fresh with options like salmon maki and tuna mango poke.
- Live stations add energy to the room. The slider station offers a mix of fillings from harissa pulled lamb to veggie options, while the churros station delivers warm, cinnamon-dusted treats with a choice of sauces. Alongside this, a generous hot buffet covers everything from herb grilled kingklip and chicken tikka masala to beef meatballs, vegetable lasagna and slow, comforting sides.
- Dessert is where things stretch out. From panna cotta and black forest verrines to éclairs, cheesecakes, fruit tarts and macarons, the selection is built for lingering rather than rushing.
At R695 per person, the experience brings variety without overcomplication. It’s a well-paced afternoon built around sharing, choice and a setting that does most of the heavy lifting.
