This festive season, Sec Restaurant is giving food lovers even more reasons to celebrate with the launch of its indulgent Christmas and New Year menus.

Located at 9 Jellicoe Avenue in the heart of Rosebank, Sec Restaurant offers a tranquil ambiance and meticulous attention to detail. Every element of the space, from light wood tabletops to lush courtyard greenery, has been thoughtfully crafted to create an oasis of calm, ideal for lingering lunches and intimate dinners. This December, Sec enhances its charm with a festive offering set to leave a lasting impression on Johannesburg’s dining scene.

Chef Dario de Angeli has curated two spectacular menus to capture the magic of the season with a festive feast to remember:

Christmas Menu (R695 per person): On 25 December, indulge in a lavish three-course meal that kicks off with a celebratory Champagne cocktail. Savour soft and buttery Parker house buns, spiced nuts, oysters, and more as a starter platter, before feasting on mains like turducken, glazed pork belly, or beef paired with duchess potatoes and roasted vegetables. The meal concludes with an irresistible dessert plate featuring white chocolate mousse and a chocolate yule log. The menu is available from 12pm until 8pm on 25 December 2024 so if you prefer a late lunch at 3pm or an early dinner at 5pm, the choice is yours – guests can specify time of arrival on booking.

New Year Menu (R895 per person): Ring in 2025 on 31 December from 6pm with an East-meets-West extravaganza. Choose from two immersive culinary journeys: the Solar New Year menu highlights European delicacies like paella, duck à l’orange, and a risotto bar, while the Lunar New Year menu features Asian delights including sushi, dim sum, and Singapore chilli crab. Free-flowing Champagne, Baijiu, or Sake (served until 9pm) ensure the night starts with a sparkle.

Both menus cater to the season’s spirit of togetherness, with no sharing allowed to maintain the integrity of each dish. Vegetarian options are available upon pre-request.

As its name suggests — a nod to Veuve Clicquot’s bubbly and an invitation to “take a sec” to savour life — Sec Restaurant is all about creating unforgettable moments. From its exquisite food to its serene ambiance, Sec is the perfect setting for festive celebrations.
