Mother’s Day Done Right: A Sunday Feast at The President Hotel

If you’re still wondering how to make Mother’s Day special this year, The President Hotel in Cape Town has the ultimate answer: a Sunday lunch buffet that’s as fabulous as mom herself.

Set for Sunday, 11 May 2025 from 1:00pm to 4:00pm, this event isn’t just a meal—it’s an experience.

Welcome drinks? Check. Live entertainment? Absolutely. A chocolate fountain? You bet.

The setting alone is stunning: a palm-lined pool deck with the Atlantic breeze in the air. Guests are welcomed with a Mother’s Day toast before diving into a gourmet spread that hits all the right notes—from a live carving station with harissa & lemon roasted lamb shoulder, to mains like Yuzu & sesame grilled yellowtail and spinach & feta spanakopita. There’s even a build-your-own salad station and an oyster bar with all the trimmings. No one’s walking away hungry. And dessert? Let’s just say you might want to save serious room. Think orange malva pudding, raspberry & ruby tarts, and mascarpone & coffee domes that sound like they belong on a Paris runway. Kids haven’t been forgotten either—with a dedicated buffet full of their faves and a waffle station that’s basically heaven for tiny humans.

The extras are what really make it shine:

Live music to set the mood
A complimentary card station where kids (and kids at heart) can write a heartfelt message
A kids’ play area so mom can finally eat her meal in peace (imagine!)
A creative corner where little ones can paint a rock for mom—sweet, simple, and smile-inducing

Tickets are R595 per adult (includes a welcome drink), R250 for kids aged 6–12, and little ones under 5 eat free. A solid deal for an event that’s guaranteed to be memorable. Bottom line: This isn’t just lunch. It’s a love letter to moms, served buffet-style. Book now, and treat her to the celebration she deserves—chocolate fountain and all.
