If you like your steak juicy, your whiskey smooth, and your Friday nights classy with a splash of bold, mark your calendar: Friday, 22 August 2025 is your kind of night.
The Mint Restaurant & Wood-Fired Grill at Taj Cape Town is hosting a Jameson Dinner Pairing that’s pure gold for food lovers and whiskey fans alike.
At just R450 per person, you get three flavour-packed courses, each paired with a different Jameson expression—and it’s not just a dinner, it’s a whole experience.
On the Table:
Start with rye crispbread and sea salt butter—a humble but heavenly bite to awaken the taste buds.
First Course:
Dive into a Nordic smoked salmon mousse with dill & mustard crème fraîche, pickled baby beets, and compressed cucumber ribbons. Light, elegant, and paired with the classic Jameson Blend. This one’s all about balance and finesse.
Main Course:
Then it’s showtime: Grass-fed beef sirloin grilled to perfection, served with charred corn mash, buttered asparagus, and shiitake mushrooms. Matched with Jameson Select Reserve, this combo is where fire, flavour, and finesse meet.
Dessert:
End strong with a dark chocolate mousse delight—think almond biscotti, salted caramel drizzle, and a cocoa nib crumble. It’s bold. It’s rich. It’s paired with Jameson Triple Triple, because of course it is.
It’s not every day that you get a three-course culinary tour de force with whiskey pairings in the heart of one of Cape Town’s finest hotels—for less than a round of cocktails at most bars. The Taj knows how to host a night that hits all the right notes: excellent service, refined yet welcoming atmosphere, and a menu designed with serious love for both food and whiskey.
Tickets are limited, and at R450 per person, they won’t last long. Whether you’re a foodie, a whiskey connoisseur, or just someone who appreciates a great night out—this one’s for you.
