Christmas Day in Cape Town is already magical — but The Sanctuary Restaurant at Kloof Street Hotel has decided to dial the joy all the way up with a festive feast made with love, warmth, and just the right amount of holiday sparkle.
This year, they’re inviting families, food lovers, and festivity-seekers to pull up a chair for a Family-Style Christmas Lunch [full menu] that feels like gathering around the table at your favourite relative’s home… if that relative also happened to be a gourmet chef with a flair for elegance.
From the moment guests arrive, the celebration begins with a glass of Méthode Cap Classique, poured with heartfelt cheer — bubbles rising as spirits soar.
✨ A Christmas Harvest Table Worth Lingering Over
The feast kicks off with a beautifully curated Harvest Table stacked with seasonal delights. Think:
-
Teriyaki chicken wings glazed to golden perfection
-
Turkey medallions drenched in cranberry-orange glaze
-
Maple-chili glazed gammon bites (because the holidays deserve a little sweet-heat drama)
-
Festive truffle bites, caprese skewers, and a cheeseboard celebration that begs to be photographed
It’s family-style dining at its best — abundant, generous, and designed to be shared.
🍽️ Three Show-Stopping Mains
Guests get to choose one of three festive stars for the main course:
🥂 Herb-Crusted Lamb
Served with hasselback potatoes, chargrilled broccolini, and a glossy red wine jus — comfort and sophistication in one plate.
🥩 Beef Wellington
Wrapped, roasted, and utterly indulgent, paired with charred broccolini and a silky garlic jus.
🐖 Bacon & Fennel Stuffed Pork Belly
A festive favourite elevated with crispy crackling, apple-sweet spice, and buttery broccolini.
Whichever you choose, your festive cravings are in very good hands.
🍰 Christmas Desserts With Extra Cheer
The sweet finale comes in two joyful options:
-
Classic Christmas Cake with warm crème anglaise and a miniature festive trifle
-
Black Forest Gateau complete with its own trifle twist — a double-dessert miracle
It’s indulgence without apology. As it should be.
🎁 A Celebration of Warmth, Joy & Togetherness
Christmas is about connection, and The Sanctuary Restaurant has created a feast that feels like it was crafted with heart. Whether you’re celebrating with family, friends, or your chosen holiday crew, this is the kind of Christmas meal that turns into an annual tradition.
