If your idea of the perfect Christmas includes sunshine, a glass of bubbly, and a long, lazy lunch surrounded by vineyards — then La Paris Bistro in the Cape Winelands has your festive table waiting.
This year, they’re doing Christmas differently: al fresco, family-style, and full of flavour.
From 11:00 to 17:00 on 25 December 2025, guests are invited to gather under the trees for a relaxed, farm-chic feast that brings together all the comfort of tradition — with none of the dishes.
🍾 Bubbly on Arrival, Naturally
You’ll start the day as all holidays should — with a chilled glass of bubbly and the soft hum of festive laughter drifting across the lawn. Then, it’s straight into a generous, family-style starter spread featuring:
-
Local cheeses
-
Chicken liver pâté
-
Smoked salmon smoor
-
Seasonal fruit, pickles, preserves
-
Whipped garlic butter, mini baguettes & bagel crisps
Yes, you’ll need two hands for that first plate — and probably a second helping, too.
🍗 The Main Event: Comfort Meets Cape Gourmet
La Paris isn’t holding back with this Christmas lineup. The main course platters include:
-
Confit chicken leg quarters with sweet potato & chorizo stuffing
-
Slow-roasted lamb with dukkha, labneh, mint & jus
-
Potato dauphinoise finished with matured cheddar & chives
-
Pesto orzo with roasted veg & Danish feta
-
A bright tomato & cucumber salad with bokkom vinaigrette
It’s festive food with a fresh twist — designed to be shared, savoured, and snapped for your group chat.
🍰 Save Room for Dessert
Naturally, no Christmas table is complete without something sweet. At La Paris, that means:
-
Baked white chocolate cheesecake with cherry gel & fresh strawberries
-
Lemon meringue that’s both zesty and cloud-light
Just the thing to round off an unforgettable day of indulgence.
