As the year draws to a close, all thoughts turn to the festive celebrations ahead. Soon it will be time to chill the bubbly and sit down to write your New Year’s resolutions – and, of course, plan your celebratory meal to welcome 2013 in style!Often, however, the task of cooking for one’s family – and catering for different dietary requirements – can quickly turn one’s merry excitement into a dreaded chore! This year, Chef Garth Almazan will be serving up two utterly decadent fine-dining menus (one of which is fully vegetarian) for New Year’s Eve, so leave it to the Catharina’s team to treat you and your family to a joyful celebration to remember!

Bid farewell to the old year, and welcome 2013 in glamorous style with Catharina’s on 31 December 2012. True to his reputation for unforgettably glamorous and luxurious New Year’s Eve dining experiences, Chef Garth has prepared two menus to wow and delight this year. Pork belly, scallops, Karoo lamb and Sea Bass are all on offer for those choosing the traditional menu, whilst vegetarian diners can look forward to gorgonzola tart, wild mushroom bisque, goat’s cheese lasagne, and artichoke risotto. Both menus finish with a decadent Dalewood camembert cheese course, followed by a sinful mousse to mark the end of your final meal for 2012. For the full menus and pricing, please click here.
