The Winter Feast menu is officially in full swing and we’ve paired our fluffy Japanese Cheesecake with strawberries gently poached in a blend of Brut Rosé and hibiscus. Topped with a beautifully squidgy, slow-cooked quince purée.
It’s the perfect hit of fresh, winter fruit flavours to cut through the indulgence, so that you end the feast on a high note.

You can’t beat the smell of steaming hot bread, fresh out the oven. Add the aroma of rosemary, and you are immediately hooked.
Our take on South African Braaibroodjies features swirls of semi-dried tomato, fresh garlic, red onion and herbs. We serve them alongside whipped feta, white anchovies, crispy fried capers and marinated olives.
It’s the ultimate way to kickstart your foodie adventure at The Pot Luck Club.

Oooooh these Prawn Tacos on our Winter Feast Menu are the bomb! The butter poached prawns are big and juicy and we’ve paired with a Cape Malay pickle and a tamarind chilli sambal for the perfect level of spiciness. The pineapple might seem like a surprising element but it brings tartness and freshness and the combo is just such a winner.

Even though it’s winter, let’s not neglect the cocktails. Our Cucumber Firefly has just enough heat to keep you fired up.
We muddle fresh strawberries and crisp cucumber, shake it up with Gin and add a house-made mint and jalapeño syrup for a perfect balance of freshness and warmth. Finished with a splash of lime, it’s vibrant, easy-drinking and the perfect way to start your meal.

The wind is howling and the rain is hitting the windows, but inside PLC? It’s pure comfort.
Our Winter Feast Menu is officially here to keep you “snug as a bug in a rug” while the storm passes. If you’re looking for the ultimate culinary warmth, look no further than our Tonkatsu: Golden panko-crusted pork, served with a crisp, shredded cabbage & radish slaw, to dip into our signature PLC Tonkatsu sauce.
It’s crispy, it’s juicy and it’s exactly what a rainy day in Cape Town calls for. ⛈️➡️🍱

We kick off our lunch time Winter Feast with the ultimate comfort duo: pillowy-soft steamed buns paired with our house-made cultured miso butter. The warm, melted butter soaks into the delicate buns for an umami flavour explosion in every bite.

Warm up your winter from today until 31 October with our brand-new Winter Feast sharing experience. The menu is a curated 3-course journey, designed for sharing. A highlight from our 4-dish main course is the Kingklip Tobanyaki.
A piping hot ceramic dish arrives at your table and as the lid is lifted, a cloud of steam reveals tender Kingklip nestled with shiitake mushrooms, bok choy, spring onions and baby corn. It’s all resting in a broth so delicious, you’ll be looking for anything to dip into it! 🥣

Luke: “For me, this style of eating is all about connection, it’s communal, it’s generous, and it brings a real sense of comfort, which is exactly what you want in the winter months. Some of my earliest and most inspiring experiences were in Asia, particularly Korea, where food is deeply rooted in sharing and seasonality. I’ve always been drawn to the balance, the respect for ingredients, and the way a meal brings people together around the table, that’s something I’m incredibly passionate about, and it’s what we wanted to capture with the PLC Winter Feast.”

The PLC Winter Feast will be available from the 4th of May and is a new lunch concept inspired by Luke’s early experiences in Asia, particularly Korea. The idea of a table buffet is brought directly to guests, served in Japanese crockery including toban ceramic dishes specially imported for the season. It’s a sharing menu with a wide variety of dishes and this is the Sichuan beer-braised duck, served as part of the mains.

We have a spectacular dish running as a chef’s special at the moment.
We’re firing up the open flames for plump, delicate scallops and pairing them with the crunch of deep-fried sweetbreads. This Surf and Turf remix is topped with a pine nut XO and smothered in fresh, vibrant green pea foam, all finished with a truffle and poultry jus vinaigrette and crispy bacon spears. It’s decadent, luxurious and pure eye candy.

This Salted Chocolate Caramel is the star of our sweetie plate. Rich, chewy, and perfectly balanced with a hit of sea salt—it’s a perfect mouthful.

Preparing our Octopus & Mussel Saganaki requires patience. The octopus alone is a multi-step process: first it’s blanched in a red wine reduction, then gently sous vide for 4 hrs, before being finished off over hot coals for a bit of char. Accompanied by mussels, baby leeks and shaved fennel crudité. It’s served with fresh basil leaves and a shaving of dried Jersey feta. On the side, a toasted garlic and sourdough purée and a lively tomato escabeche.

Fridays mean cocktails, or at least in our book they do! Our Umami Sour is the perfect combination of smooth blended with a salty sweet miso caramel and a house made rooibos syrup. Finished with a foamy white cap and a sprinkle of bitters. Be careful - it’s moreish!!

Our Tandoori Linefish is served with a house-made coconut roti and these mouthwatering Indian-inspired sides - a vibrant coriander and cashew chutney, and a tangy mango & papaya atchar. Together with the pickled pear and preserved limes served atop the dish, the sides bring balance to the warm Indian spices.

The flavours of our Tandoori Line Fish are enhanced by the addition of an Indian-style pickled pear salad together with intensely citrusy preserved limes. Luscious drops of coriander and mustard oil round out the flavour profile. We recommend you get a little bit of everything in each bite, wrapped in the grilled coconut roti.
