What could be better than Christmas at the beach? Christmas at the beach topped off with a festive feast at Bites Beach Café, of course! We put the ‘sea’ in festive season…

Get settled at your table as you sip on a glass of South African wine or bubbly and take in the sprawling views of the Indian Ocean – and prepare for a cheerful spread merging traditional holiday warmth with your favourite coastal flavours. Here’s what to expect from our Christmas Day lunch in the magnificent De Hoop Nature Reserve.

Date: 25 December 2024
Seating Times: 11h00-14h00 | 14h00-17h00

We’re offering two dining slots with limited spots for an intimate atmosphere. The South African summer breeze, the sound of waves rolling in, and sumptuous food – that’s what we call Christmas, Bites-style.

What’s on the table?

When you step through our doors on Christmas Day, you’ll be greeted with the smell of fresh-baked rolls, warm spiced grills, and the enticing fragrance of fynbos-infused dressings. Here’s what’s in store:

On arrival:  A basket of freshly baked rolls, accompanied by chicken liver pâté and flavoured butter – warm, homely, and impossible to resist.

Starter:Our signature Hot Smoked BBos Trout, with a colourful beetroot & vodka crème fraiche. It’s an exciting fusion of local flavours, showcasing the freshest ingredients from the Overberg.

Mains: (Salads & Veg) Morukuru Harvest Green Salad with a balsamic vanilla olive glaze: A garden-fresh celebration, balanced by the sweetness of vanilla.
Beetroot and Butternut Salad with Morukuru fynbos honey & blue cheese dressing: A true countryside classic with a sweet twist.
Creamy Potato Herb Salad with dill cucumber & coddled egg: An indulgent yet refreshing side, perfect for summer.
Seasonal Roasted Vegetables: Rooted in simplicity, roasted just right to bring out their natural sweetness.

From the grill (served at your table): We’ll fire up our grill for a festive braai with succulent proteins that add a South African spin to your Christmas meal:
Lemon and Rosemary BBQ’d Lamb Leg, infused with citrus and herbs for a perfectly tender bite.
Harissa-Spiced Boneless Chicken Thighs, bringing that warm, true-to-the-season flavour.
Chermoula Kingklip Parcels, offering a light and zesty alternative.
A side of Savoury Fragrant Rice and Tarragon and Mustard Gravy: Bold yet balanced, and full of flavour.

Dessert: Cap off your Christmas lunch with one of two festive desserts. You can always walk it off!
A rich Banoffi Caramel Trifle.
A seasonal fruit platter with vanilla ice cream
