Treat friends and family this festive season with superb cuisine at The Restaurant at Grande Provence Heritage Wine Estate in Franschhoek and let Executive Chef Darren Badenhorst do all the hard work in the kitchen creating singular dining experiences this Christmas and New Year’s Eve.

Christmas Eve & Christmas Day four-course menu

To start guests will have the option of a rich cauliflower and Fourme d'Ambert velouté or smoked cardamom and carrot velouté. Entreés offer a choice between beetroot cured Franschhoek trout tartar with yuzu and monkfish roe or langoustine and pickled radish tortellini with a tom yum bisque espuma.

His main dishes promise to be the heroes of the day with a choice between sous vide quail with scotch quail egg, toasted quinoa, caramelized onion soubise and forest mushrooms or 18-hour Karoo lamb croquette with smoked potato and pickled baby beets drizzled with masala jus.

To end the culinary journey a refreshing medley of summer fruit with raspberry and rooibos sorbet, burnt meringue, vanilla kirsch crumble or a selection imported French cheeses will be served.

New Year’s Eve Luxury Buffet Menu

With the exciting array of dishes to choose from, this buffet menu will satisfy every culinary desire. From Italian burrata salads with rosemary and Parmesan, Franschhoek trout gravlax with smoked beetroot aïoli, to slow braised Karoo lamb neck with a rosa tomato ragout, 18-hour Indonesian-style braised pork belly and Thai-style butternut and roasted chickpea curry, there is no shortage of palate pleasers on this menu.

For his grand finale Chef Darren’s desserts are sure to hit your sweet spot. Think caramelised white chocolate mousse and Mauritian vanilla panna cotta. If you prefer your treats on the savoury side, there will be a fine selection of artisanal cheeses and cured olives to tuck into.
