Valentine’s Day at The Cape Milner is an invitation to dress up a little, slow down, and enjoy an evening that’s thoughtfully crafted for two.
This year’s celebration blends refined dining with a relaxed, welcoming atmosphere, striking that sweet spot between special occasion and genuine enjoyment.
Guests can choose between a two-course or three-course set menu, both designed to feel indulgent without being overwhelming.
- The two-course experience, priced at R1,120 per couple, includes a glass of Simonsig Kaapse Vonkel to set the mood. For those wanting to linger a little longer, the three-course option at R1,795 per couple comes with a full bottle of Delair Graaff Rosé, perfect for sharing throughout the evening.
Starters range from fresh oysters with a virgin Bloody Mary, caviar, and pickled cucumber salsa to a refreshing watermelon gazpacho layered with pickled cucumber noodles, tomato essence caviar, and almond crumbs. It’s a start that feels light, elegant, and unmistakably celebratory.
For mains, diners can choose between tender beef scaloppini with chimichurri, parmesan, and hassleback potatoes, a beautifully composed grilled cauliflower steak with kale polenta, truffle hummus, and pistachio nut soil, or miso-glazed chicken braised with kimchi, flavoured cabbage, coriander mash, and a spicy red pepper sauce. Each dish balances comfort and creativity, offering something for every palate.
The evening ends on a rich, romantic note with dark chocolate and strawberry cheesecake, served with glazed berries and chocolate shards. It’s the kind of dessert that encourages sharing bites and staying just a little longer at the table.
Set against the elegant backdrop of one of Cape Town’s most beloved boutique hotels, The Cape Milner’s Valentine’s Day dinner is polished without being formal, romantic without being predictable. It’s an evening designed for conversation, connection, and enjoying great food together. Reservations are essential and can be made via reserve@capemilner.com.
