If Christmas Eve had a flavor, it would taste exactly like this.
Cape Town Marriott Hotel Crystal Towers is turning the holiday dial to full festive with a Christmas Eve dinner that’s got more sparkle than a string of fairy lights.
This isn’t just dinner — it’s a deliciously curated celebration served buffet-style, dressed to impress, and ready to wow every palate at the table.
- What’s on the menu? Oh, just a sleigh-load of festive favourites with a gourmet twist. Start with a crisp shrimp ritz salad (hello, Marie Rose dressing), dive into cajun calamari and sushi that practically melts, and glide straight into a “farm to fork” spread that’s as fresh as a Christmas morning breeze.
- Then comes the showstopper: the carvery. Picture this — orange and maple-glazed gammon with apple sauce, rosemary-kissed lamb, and roasted sirloin dripping with creamy peppercorn magic. Not drooling yet? Wait for the hot buffet: grilled line fish, cauliflower gratin, cinnamon roasted butternut, and vegetable curry so comforting it could sing you carols.
- Of course, no festive feast is complete without dessert, and the Christmas Dessert Bar is a merry little wonderland of its own. Black forest minis, Christmas yule log, fruit trifle, mince pies, and the ever-classic brandied custard-drenched pudding. Sweet tooths, unite.
