This Father’s Day, skip the hardware store and head straight to where the real tools of appreciation are—forks, knives, and dessert spoons.
Bistro 31 is rolling out the red carpet (and a seriously impressive buffet) on Sunday, 15 June 2025, and it’s got “Dad-approved” written all over it.
For just R470 per person, the Father’s Day Lunch Buffet is a foodie’s dream disguised as a family outing. Think tapas, carvery, curry, and enough dessert to make grown men weep (in the best way possible).
- Let’s start with the tapas lineup. This isn’t your average pre-meal nibble situation. We’re talking seared beef tataki with pickled radish, cheesy beef quesadillas, and tandoori chicken phyllo rolls with pineapple chutney. And that’s just the warm-up act. The sticky chipotle wings and prawn skewers with lemon aioli are ready to steal the spotlight.
- Then comes the carvery station, where leg of lamb with herbs and apricots and 28-day aged roast sirloin with Dijon and shallots await. You’re welcome.
- Still hungry? Good. The hot dishes include a full-on Malay spiced chicken curry setup—complete with basmati rice, rotis, sambals, and pickles—plus roasted potatoes, creamed spinach, and classic butternut & pumpkin. This is Sunday comfort food taken up several notches.
- And dessert? Buckle up. From dark chocolate tartlets with tiramisu cream to rich malva pudding with custard and ice cream, and a passion fruit crème brûlée that might just make Dad get a little emotional—there’s no sweet tooth left behind.
