Valentine’s Day at The Catalyst is an evening designed to feel indulgent, unhurried, and just a little bit special.
This year’s celebration brings together elegant food, live entertainment, and a relaxed sense of occasion that makes the night feel memorable without being overly formal.
Guests are welcomed with a glass of Cap Classique on arrival before settling in for a thoughtfully curated four-course dinner, created to be enjoyed course by course, conversation by conversation. The menu strikes a confident balance between comfort and refinement, offering dishes that feel familiar yet elevated.
- The experience begins with a delicate amuse bouche of silky chicken liver pâté, followed by a choice of starters that range from rich blue cheese gnocchi to delicately sliced ostrich carpaccio. Each dish is carefully plated and paced, allowing diners to enjoy the rhythm of the evening rather than rush through it.
- Mains continue the theme of choice and balance. Guests can opt for a flavourful grilled cauliflower steak with warm spices and fragrant rice, a classic beef fillet with red wine jus and crisp potato fondant, or pan-seared salmon paired with creamy Parmesan risotto and a Chardonnay cream sauce. There’s something for every preference, whether plant-based, seafood-loving, or firmly in the steak camp.
- Dessert brings the evening to a sweet close with a choice between pear panna cotta or a warm chocolate fondant served with cardamom ice cream and raspberry sauce. It’s the kind of ending that encourages lingering just a little longer at the table.
Priced at R1 600 per couple, the Valentine’s Day dinner at The Catalyst includes the full four-course menu, a glass of Cap Classique on arrival, and live entertainment throughout the evening. It’s a celebration that feels romantic without being rigid, refined without being intimidating, and ideal for couples who value good food, good atmosphere, and time well spent.
