When the temperature drops, few things are more inviting than a thoughtfully prepared meal enjoyed beside one of Cape Town’s most iconic settings.
This winter, Upper Quay at the V&A Waterfront is serving up exactly that with its Winter Set Menu, offering guests a three-course dining experience for R385 per person.
Designed for leisurely lunches, cosy date nights, and catch-ups that deserve more than a quick coffee, the menu combines comforting seasonal flavours with the refined style that Upper Quay is known for.
-
Guests begin by choosing one of three starters. The menu includes a warming potato and leek soup served with homemade bread, a refreshing citrus and feta salad with mint, rocket and orange vinaigrette, or a rich salmon, cream cheese and chive pâté accompanied by crispy wonton chips.
-
The main course offers something for every palate. Meat lovers can opt for a 300g sirloin steak with caramelised onion gravy and creamy mashed potato, or Chicken Marengo, featuring slow-roasted chicken breast in a garlic, white wine and tomato sauce, topped with prawns and served with creamy mash. Seafood enthusiasts can choose pan-fried line fish with fennel basmati rice and seasonal vegetables, or garlic and brandy sautéed queen prawns served over orzo pasta in a spicy red sauce. Vegetarians are catered for with a fragrant roast vegetable and almond korma, served with cardamom-infused rice and a poppadom.
-
To finish, guests can indulge in the playful Summer Berry in Winter dessert, combining soaked bread, mixed berries, vanilla cream and blueberry gel, or enjoy a comforting South African classic with malva pudding and creamy custard.
Set against the backdrop of the V&A Waterfront, the Winter Set Menu captures everything diners want from a cold-weather meal: warming flavours, elegant presentation, and a relaxed atmosphere that encourages guests to slow down and savour the experience. For those looking to turn an ordinary winter outing into something a little more memorable, Upper Quay offers a delicious reason to pull up a chair and stay awhile.
