Easter is a significant holiday in Cape Town, where many families gather to celebrate with a special lunch.
The city offers a wide variety of dining options for this occasion, from traditional menus to more modern and innovative cuisine. Although there are plenty of restaurants and venues that host Easter lunches, we won’t be mentioning any specific ones in this article.
One of the highlights of Easter for children is the Easter egg hunt. Many places in Cape Town organize egg hunts for kids, giving them an exciting way to celebrate this festive holiday. These events are often held in public parks, community centers, and other kid-friendly locations. Some of the more elaborate hunts are even themed, with clues and riddles to solve before finding the ultimate prize.
When it comes to Easter lunches in Cape Town, there are plenty of traditional options to choose from. Roast lamb is a popular choice, served with sides such as potatoes, green beans, and carrots. Hot cross buns, a sweet spiced bread with a cross on top, are also a classic Easter treat. Seafood is another popular option, as Cape Town is known for its fresh seafood and shellfish.
In recent years, more and more restaurants have started offering non-traditional Easter menus. These may feature fusion cuisine, vegetarian options, or international flavors. Some venues might even incorporate the Easter egg hunt into the lunch experience, giving families an all-inclusive Easter celebration.
For those who prefer a more low-key Easter lunch, there are plenty of options for picnics or braais (barbecues). Public parks such as Kirstenbosch Botanical Gardens or the Company’s Garden are popular spots for a relaxing Easter picnic. Alternatively, many families prefer to host their own Easter lunch at home, with family and friends bringing their own dishes to share.
When it comes to Easter egg hunts for the kids, there are plenty of options in and around Cape Town. Some of the most popular events are held in public parks, with eggs hidden throughout the grounds. These hunts are often free or have a nominal entrance fee. Other events may charge a higher fee, but they may also offer additional activities such as face painting, jumping castles, and other fun games.
Some venues might even host egg hunts inside, making it a perfect option for rainy days or colder weather. These indoor hunts may be smaller in scale but can still be just as fun for the kids.
