“We have electricity all day and night”

Easter Feast

Picture this. The day was rainy and overcast, hardly what you would expect from an Easter weekend in Plett. The house seemed pale and quiet and, although Easter eggs and wishes were exchanged, the day didn’t seem to have a very festive feel.

Luckily, we had booked our Easter lunch at the Island Diner in the Beacon Island Lifestyle Resort. The restaurant has become known for their sumptuous seafood and grill house platters and we thought it would be a fun, family way to celebrate Easter.

Walking into the lobby of the hotel out of the dreary day, we were greeted with warmth and laughter, children skipping amongst the tables of diners enjoying a brunch in the cosy lobby. It might be cold outside, but it was warm in here!

We were welcomed and shown to our table in the Indigo Bay restaurant, which had already started to hum with eager lunchtime guests. Despite the weather conditions, the views of the Bay and Robberg were as magnificent as ever.

We had booked the Easter Platter for Two and my mouth waters just remembering it: The seafood was superb: creamy garlic mussels and crispy fried calamari. Tender and flavoursome prawns ready to be dipped and enjoyed. Flaky fresh line fish – grilled to perfection and, my absolute favourite, juicy Frango rump Espetada all complimented by a crisp green salad and fresh bread. In honour of the usual Easter chocolate overload, the dessert served was banofee meringues – absolutely delicious

The highlight of the day was he Easter egg hunt, arranged by the restaurant and held on the main lawn of the hotel. Children were running around helter skelter around the grounds, scrounging for their sweet treasures. Watching this enthusiastic hunt got me thinking about the origins of Easter eggs and Easter bunnies. So I did some research and, while the truth seems to be quite sketchy, I did find this lovely fable that I thought I would share:

“One winter day the goddess, Eostre was passing through a forest and found a bird dying in snow from hunger and cold. The goddess turned the bird into a hare (rabbit) because they have a warm fur and can find food more easily than any bird. And so our bunny survived the winter and when the spring came the animal started laying eggs because it was once a bird. The rabbit then decorated every egg leaving it to Eostre as a sign of gratitude.”

All in all, it was a wonderful, busy day filled with the Island Diner staples of laughter, good value, wonderful food and magnificent views!

Suite Dining with Island Diner

Starched white linen, shining glasses and covered dishes bring to mind a time past when butlers served drinks in hotel suites and meals and cocktails were brought to the guest’s room for private enjoyment.

For me, the words Suite Dining conjure up the scene in Pretty Woman where champagne and strawberries are served in the hotel room overlooking the Los Angeles skyline. Stylish room service lends a sense of luxury and personal attention that seems to be missing in many modern day conveniences. 

Well, the Island Diner has decided to bring back this sense of privacy and opulence with the return of Suite Dining. At the Beacon Island Lifestyle Resort, and in the comfort of your hotel room, the Island Diner will now serve dinners, canapés, breakfasts and more for a private meal for two or a celebratory group of up to 15 people.

Imagine sampling a sumptuous seafood platter and chilled wine in the privacy of your own suite, whilst overlooking the beautiful bay and mountains. Dinner and sundowners doesn’t get better than that! Suite Dining can be set up for the ideal romantic gesture for a wedding proposal or celebration. The Beacon Island is known as one of South Africa’s romantic retreats of choice – now taking “room service” to the next level.

This exclusive service is not confined only to hotel guests but can be arranged at any venue of your choice. Suite Dining is an ideal solution for office parties or special functions, focussing on smaller groups from 2 – 15 people. Thus ensuring the continued quality, service and delicious food you have come to expect from the Island Diner restaurants, all served at the venue of your choice.

All of this to bring back a bit of old-school charm and service to any dining experience, function, celebration or intimate occasion.

Dinner Dance – Playa Sea Lounge

“We are fools whether we dance or not, so we might as well dance.” – Japanese proverb

There is a very good reason why the Beacon Island Hotel is designed to resemble the helm of a ship – views from the rooms, restaurants and sea lounge create an atmosphere of being on a cruise ship, anchored in a bay along some far distant coastline. Waves roll towards the hotel, tumbling against the rocks and the sun shines diamonds and watercolours on the ocean.

It is here, in the legendary Beacon Isle Sea Lounge, that the Wednesday Night Dinner Dance takes place. Suspended over the rocks and ocean, enjoy a meal with family and friends including some mouth-watering dishes, then dance the night away with Peter, John and Tessa’s 3 piece band. There really could be no better place to enjoy a spot of Dinner & Dance than the Sea Lounge. Between bouts of twirling around the dance floor, the Island Diner is putting on a stellar 3 course meal to keep you going well into the night!

All for only R145 pp, dress is smart casual and the party starts at 19:00.

The menu includes glamorous new dishes and old favourites:

Starter choice and breads for the table

Greek Salad with wild rocket and herb dressing

Spanish Gazpacho Soup with an herb brushette

Grilled Calamari served with a Lemon Butter sauce

Chicken Livers LM served with a mild peri-peri sauce

Main Course Choice:

Rump Steak, seasoned and grilled, served with a mushroom sauce

Fresh Line fish, grilled, and served with a lemon butter sauce

Chicken Breast, pan fried with a Madeira port and kumquat sauce

Brinjal Melanzane with a béchamel and parmesan sauce

Dessert Choice:

Chocolate Nut Torte with a berry coulis and cream

Vanilla Pod Ice Cream with a caramel nut brittle

Dance the night away on the deck of the Playa Sea Lounge, float on a dream of music, good foods and great views. The Island Diner knows how to put together an excellent meal and you will love the musical offerings of Peter, John and Tessa. It’s as good as a holiday… in your own backyard!

 

 Don't forget the free "pick up and drop off" service available to add a bit more luxury and glamour to the evening. Simply call or email to book your table at the dinner dance and your transport for the evening!
