This Christmas Day, Taj Cape Town is unwrapping the city’s most decadent festive buffet — a feast so lavish, even Santa might trade his sleigh ride for a seat at the table.
From 12h30 to 16h00, guests will indulge in an extraordinary culinary journey, soundtracked by a live band and paired with a welcome glass of Simonsig Kaapse Vonkel to start the celebration in sparkling style.
The menu is nothing short of epic. [full menu]
- Begin with freshly baked breads and flavoured butters before exploring a seafood spread featuring West Coast oysters, yellowtail gravlax, and a Malay mussel salad with fresh coriander.
- The harvest table offers South African cheeses, cured meats, nuts, and pickles, while the salad buffet is a colourful garden of fresh, seasonal flavours.
- From there, the choices expand into a carvery of Christmas-spiced turkey, mustard-crusted beef sirloin, Norwegian salmon en croûte, and an array of hearty sides. Love variety?
- The Italian buffet serves pizzas hot from the oven and Cacio e Pepe prepared live in a parmesan wheel, while the Asian buffet tempts with sushi, dim sum, chow mein, and green Thai curry.
- Spice seekers can explore the Tandoori and Bombay Brasserie curry stations, from butter chicken to Durban lamb curry.
- And then there’s dessert — a Christmas wonderland of macaroon towers, yule logs, mince pies, millionaire shortbread, gulab jamun, sticky toffee pudding, and even a live churros station. Kids aren’t left out either, with popcorn, slushies, cookie decorating, and festive entertainment to keep the little ones smiling.
At R1 950 per person (half price for children 12 and under), this isn’t just lunch — it’s a full day of indulgence, music, and holiday magic in the heart of Cape Town.
