Summary: Fynkos at Kirstenbosch Botanical Gardens offers two picnic box options for enjoying a relaxed day outdoors on the Kirstenbosch lawns in Cape Town. The Finger Food Picnic and Vegetarian Picnic each cost R450 per person and include a selection of savoury bites, dips, bread, sweet treats and a non-alcoholic drink. Picnic boxes can be pre-ordered online, making them a convenient choice for garden outings and the upcoming Summer Concerts.
Warmer days call for a blanket on the grass, good company and a picnic spread that does not require hours in the kitchen.
Fynkos at Kirstenbosch Botanical Gardens makes outdoor dining easy with picnic boxes packed with savoury favourites, fresh accompaniments and sweet treats, ready to enjoy on the garden lawns.
There are two options to choose from: the Finger Food Picnic for those who enjoy a varied selection of savoury bites, and the Vegetarian Picnic, which offers a meat-free spread with plenty of variety. Both are priced at R450 per person and include a non-alcoholic drink, so guests can spend less time organising lunch and more time enjoying the sunshine.
- The Finger Food Picnic features BBQ chicken strips, grilled meatballs, rolled rare roast beef with pickled cucumber, chilli poppers, crustless spinach and feta quiche, chickpea falafel, hummus, guacamole and a salad with cheddar, feta and olives. The accompanying packets include homemade wholewheat bread, kettle-fried crisps and homemade cocktail pita.
- For the Vegetarian Picnic, the platter includes chickpea falafel, hummus, tabouleh, roast eggplant in yoghurt, guacamole, Turkish salad, labaneh with za’atar, crustless spinach and feta quiche, chilli poppers and a salad with cheddar, feta and olives. The packets include kettle-fried crisps and large homemade pita.
Both picnic options finish on a sweet note with three petite four-size cakes: cheesecake with strawberry topping, chocolate fudge cake and carrot cake with cream cheese icing. A non-alcoholic drink of the guest’s choice is also included. At R450 per person, the boxes offer a ready-to-enjoy spread for a leisurely afternoon on the lawns. Guests can pre-order online or pop in and pick up, choosing from the picnic menu or the main menu.
With the Kirstenbosch Summer Concerts on the horizon, a picnic box is also a handy way to get the food sorted before settling in for an afternoon outdoors. The best part? There is no need to prepare the spread at home. Just arrange the picnic, gather the company and leave room for cake.
