Christmas Day is a time for good company, festive traditions and, naturally, a rather impressive meal.
Pigalle Cape Town is bringing all three together with a special Christmas menu on 25 December 2026, inviting guests to enjoy a leisurely festive occasion with a selection of seafood, meat dishes and sweet treats.
Priced at R1,250 per person, the Christmas menu begins with an artisan Christmas bread selection featuring sourdough, ciabatta and rosemary sea-salt focaccia, served with whipped herb butter and olive tapenade. It is a suitably inviting start to a festive feast.
- The starter selection offers plenty of variety, from fresh oysters served with mignonette, lemon and Tabasco to grilled calamari with lemon aioli and fresh herbs. Seafood lovers can also look forward to Cape smoked salmon with capers, pickled cucumber, crème fraîche and toasted brioche, black mussels in a creamy velouté with paprika, or prawns sautéed with garlic, chilli and Nazionale sauce.
- For something a little different, the Christmas Garden combines grilled Mediterranean vegetables, artichokes, roasted peppers, baby tomatoes, feta and basil oil. The honey-baked Camembert is another tempting option, served with toasted nuts, fresh thyme and rosemary alongside artisanal bread.
- The main course selection keeps the festive spirit going with several substantial options. The grilled beef fillet comes with rosemary and garlic roasted potatoes, seasonal vegetables, red wine jus and peppercorn sauce, while the slow-braised lamb shank is served with creamy potato purée, seasonal vegetables and rosemary jus.
- Seafood takes centre stage again with grilled prawns and langoustines, garlic butter, lemon, saffron rice and seasonal vegetables. There is also grilled fresh line fish with lemon butter, accompanied by a choice of chips, rice or roasted vegetables.
- Other options include herb-crusted lamb rump with silky truffle mash, rosemary jus and seasonal roasted vegetables, as well as herb-roasted half chicken with roast potatoes, seasonal vegetables and thyme jus. Vegetarians can enjoy the festive conchiglioni, large pasta shells filled with spinach, ricotta and roasted vegetables, baked in tomato and basil sauce and finished with Parmesan and fresh herbs.
- Naturally, the Christmas Day menu would not be complete without something sweet. Pigalle Cape Town’s dessert selection includes warm chocolate fondant with vanilla ice cream and chocolate sauce, classic crème brûlée with its caramelised sugar crust, traditional Christmas mince pies served with vanilla custard and cinnamon, and a classic New York-style baked cheese cake.
With seafood, comforting festive favourites, rich meat dishes and traditional Christmas desserts, the menu offers plenty to look forward to around the table. At R1,250 per person, Pigalle Cape Town provides a festive dining occasion with an extensive selection of dishes to make 25 December feel that little bit more special.

All that remains is to gather the favourite people, settle in and leave a little room for dessert.
