Sunday Al Fresco Family-Style Lunch at La Paris Bistro

There’s something magical about a Sunday done properly.

No rush, no to-do list—just good company, fresh air, and food that makes you close your eyes after every bite.

That’s exactly what La Paris Bistro in Franschhoek is serving up with their Al Fresco Family-Style Lunch, happening every Sunday at 12:00, right under the oak trees.

• This isn’t your average lunch. It’s a generous, pass-the-platter kind of affair, made to be shared with the people you love. Think slow dining, big laughs, and food that tastes like someone really cared when they made it.

The Menu? A Whole Vibe.

Things kick off with a grazing board that’s basically edible art—smoked baba ganoush, chevin, crispy tortilla shards, dukkah, curry oil, and all the crunchy-crisp crudités your snack-loving heart could hope for. Plus, seasonal fruit for a fresh touch.

Then come the mains, and you’re going to want to pace yourself:

• Brined & butter roasted chicken supreme

• Butternut, chorizo, and confit chicken leg stuffing with sage

• Grilled and smoked beef sirloin with chimichurri and crispy onions

• Duck fat roasted potatoes (yes, with truffle oil and garlic aioli)

• Pesto orzo with roasted veggies and Danish feta

• And a heirloom tomato salad with compressed watermelon and a vinaigrette so good it might make you tear up a little.

Finish it all off with a dessert that hits every note: Malva pudding with crème anglaise, streusel, garam masala ice cream, compressed apple, and curry leaves. Sweet, spiced, and unforgettable.

It’s elegant without being fussy, relaxed without being lazy. Picture long tables under leafy branches, the clink of glasses, and kids running on the lawn while the adults linger just a bit longer. If Sundays had a personality, this would be it.
