If your idea of romance involves good wine, great food, and zero dishwashing, then The President Hotel’s Thursday Date Night has your name written all over it — in rose gold cursive, naturally.
Every Thursday from 6pm to 10pm, the Islands Restaurant turns into your new favourite date spot.
You and your favourite person can indulge in either a 2-course (R650) or 3-course (R795) dinner — per couple, not per person. And yes, that includes a complimentary bottle of red or white wine to toast your shared good taste.
The Menu? Straight-Up Swoon-Worthy.
Starters include:
-
Butternut & Coconut Soup with toasted pumpkin and ciabatta (comfort food’s elegant cousin)
-
Grilled Squid with black rice, olives, feta, dill, and sundried tomato dressing (because date night doesn’t mean boring night)
-
Beef Carpaccio with roasted grapes and mustard aioli (the romantic type of fancy)
Mains bring the heat:
-
Cauliflower Steak with biryani rice and coconut lime relish (vegans, you’re covered and spoiled)
-
Line Fish Provençal with garlic and parsley sauce (channeling your inner French Riviera energy)
-
Chicken Supreme with artichokes and sweetcorn purée
-
Beef Sirloin with bone marrow and beef jus (flavor level: serious)
Dessert? Yes, you’ll make room:
-
Milk Tart Malva with cinnamon crumble and crème anglaise
-
Rooibos Mousse with lemon curd, honey gel, and vanilla chantilly — basically, dessert poetry.
This isn’t just dinner — it’s a midweek reset disguised as a romantic evening, and your relationship (and tastebuds) will thank you for it. Here’s how to book your table:
