Festive corporate packages and Christmas lunch at Appetite Restaurant, Time Square
Whether you want to host a company party or a private function this festive season, or are planning a family and friends get together for Christmas Day itself, Appetite at Time Square has all the packages to suit your needs – and budget, from as little as R295 per person.
The passion for culinary excellent meets elegantly rustic dining experiences at this contemporary eatery. “We believe in the power of good food to bring people together, to celebrate life’s special moments, and to create lasting memories,” says Time Square Food and Beverage Manager Preshan Pillay. “We take pride in sourcing the best local and seasonal ingredients, ensuring that each dish is not only delicious but also sustainable and responsible.”
This festive season, menus are designed to make celebrations merry and bright and each plate full of flavour.
Corporate Christmas packages
Deck the halls with mistletoe, sleigh rides and candy canes, there are three festive corporate packages available from 15 November to 20 December. Whether marking a successful year or celebrating team achievements, every dish on these Christmas-inspired menus bursts with festive cheer.
The Mistletoe package (R295 p4 person) includes table tapas like marinated olives, baked chicken wings, a twist on traditional magwinya with confit turkey and cranberry, and BBQ pork ribs. Main courses include Chalmar sirloin, turkey piccata, line fish and roasted cauliflower steak. Finish with gin and tonic tart, chocolate torte or New York-style mango and passion fruit cheesecake.
At R345 per person, the Candy Cane package has starters of cauliflower soup, salt and pepper squid, and chicken liver pàté, followed by Charmer rump, line fish, Durban lamb curry, and roasted cauliflower steak. Desserts are the same as the Mistletoe package.
The Sleigh Ride at R450 per person starter are beef tartare, avocado Ritz, Caesar salad, and cured salmon. Joining the main courses as per the Candy Cane package is a spicy prawn and mussel dish topped with chorizo soil and parsley gremolata in a white wine and lemon butter sauce.
Tiramisu, Amarula malva pudding are on the table along with the cheesecake and chocolate torte.
Christmas Day with family and friends
Skip the kitchen prep and long hours of cooking, and instead savour more time with your loved ones around the table.
Appetite’s Christmas Day menu is R585 per person, and begins with delectable things like prawn cocktail, a charcuterie and cheese station, smoked and cured fish station, a build-your-own salad bar, and freshly baked breads.
At the carving station, load your plate with roast turkey, stuffing, chipolata sausages, gammon, roast beef, lashings of gravy, duck fat roast potatoes, and more. Each dish is a nod to timeless Christmas favourites, reimagined with Appetite’s signature flair.
Desserts are just as lavish (you might want to book a room for a post prandial nap): dark chocolate and pear tarts, Amarula and coffee fruit cake, gingerbread cheesecake, profiteroles, Christmas Yule log and stollen are just a teaser of what will be on offer.
Take the stress and hassle out of the equation. Let the professionals take care of it all – from each bite down to Christmas crackers. All you need to do is arrive hungry and ready to celebrate the most wonderful time of the year.
