If you’ve ever wished Christmas came with a five-star buffet, this year’s your moment.
The Cape Town Marriott Hotel Crystal Towers is pulling out all the festive stops with a Christmas Lunch menu that reads like a love letter to foodies everywhere.
From the first shrimp to the last spoonful of trifle, this isn’t just lunch—it’s a full-blown culinary celebration.
🌊 Start With a Splash: The Seafood Spread
- The seafood station alone is worth donning your Christmas best for. Think shrimp ritz salad with Marie Rose dressing, cajun fried calamari, mussel ceviche with lemon and pico de gallo, and a selection of sushi that would make even Rudolph pause. Fresh, zingy, and oh-so-festive.
🥗 Farm to Fork Goodness
- Looking for something fresh to balance the indulgence? Their farm-to-fork station brings the crunch. With Harissa roasted baby veg, ruby red cabbage slaw with crispy bacon, sundried tomato, hummus and smoked aubergine dip, and a charcuterie platter, this is no ordinary salad bar—this is veggie heaven, dressed to impress.
🍖 Carvery Goals
- It wouldn’t be Christmas without a carvery, and this one delivers. Picture orange and maple glazed gammon, garlic roasted sirloin with creamy peppercorn sauce, and slow-roasted leg of lamb with rosemary jus—all carved to order, dripping with festive flavour.
🔥 Hot Buffet Heaven
- From vegetable curry with roti and cinnamon roasted butternut to grilled line fish in prawn & mussel bisque, the hot buffet is stacked. There’s even baked cauliflower in Mornay sauce and savoury herb chicken for good measure. Whether you’re plant-based or protein-powered, they’ve got your cravings covered.
🍰 The Christmas Dessert Bar
- Just when you think you’ve peaked, the Christmas Dessert Bar waltzes in with mini black forest cakes, homemade mince pies, Christmas pudding with brandied custard, yule logs, cake pops, and a seasonal fruit trifle. If sugar were a religion, this would be the altar.
