The full moon over the CBD of Cape Town lights up the city once a month and is a sight to behold. If you don’t realise that it’s a full moon, the snaking trail of twinkling torchlight from night\u00a0hikers summiting Lion’s Head\u00a0is always a dead giveaway. Another way to experience the brilliance of Cape Town under the full moon is to rise a little higher than everyone else and enjoy a Full Moon dinner, as well as amazing vistas of the city, at ON19 Restaurant at The Westin Hotel.<\/p>\n

ON19\u2019s ceiling to floor glass windows offer a breathtakingly high, 360\u00ba panoramic view\u00a0from Table Bay and the city\u2019s famous mountain landmarks, all the way to the Helderberg, where the full moon rises each month. It is without doubt one of Cape Town\u2019s finest vantage points to tune into the cosmic cycles and marvel at the splendour of our special place in the Universe.<\/p>\n

ON19 Full Moon Dinners combine exceptional cuisine, exquisite wines and the entertaining insights of Cape Town\u2019s foremost astrologer, Dianne Garven. When you book, you provide the dates, times and places of birth of yourself and guests. On the night, you will find fascinating, personalised star charts at your place setting that will evoke illuminating conversations with your friends, family and loved ones. Dianne will also share her expertise on the positions of stars and planets on the night and provide insights into their meaning for those who are present to that particular full moon.<\/p>\n

The 3-course dinner is cosmically-styled by ON19\u2019s Executive Chef, Anerith Smythe and superbly paired with the wines of a featured, stellar Cape wine estate. On the evening we dined, the meal was paired with wines from Asara Wine Estate<\/strong> <\/a>and fitted in perfectly with the theme as the estate is named after African gods of earth, sun and sky \u2013 symbols of the balance and harmony of nature.<\/p>\n

The menu started with\u00a0Natural pickings <\/strong>a sharing platter featuring organic baby vegetables and bocconcini with pistachio banga couda, lamb fritters, hay smoked beef and potted duck liver with fresh bread and onion marmalade. The potted duck liver was absolutely sublime, and the baby vegetables dressed in a delicious vinaigrette.\"natural-pickings\"<\/p>\n

Mains is a choice of either\u00a0Satsuma and Soy glazed Salmon trout, <\/strong>served with vanilla parsnip puree, warm bulgar wheat salad, coriander and fennel gremolata, grilled baby onion, honey and miso jus, or\u00a0Charred Beef fillet <\/strong>with smoked aubergine puree, bone marrow fritters, pickled baby beetroot, potato fondant, black cherry jus. Both mains were generous and flavourful. There is also a vegetarian option of\u00a0Spinach, feta and butternut Tortellini, <\/strong>served with roasted pumpkin seeds, tomato concasse, truffle buerre noisette, cashew nut crumble and butternut gremolata. Dessert is a astro-inspired dish called\u00a0\u2018Milky Way\u2019,<\/strong> that will propel you into the sweet stratosphere \u2013 coconut, white chocolate and caramel milk chocolate truffles, date chocolate pudding and straciatella ice cream.\"on19-Westin\"on19-Westin<\/p>\n

You should aim to arrive at\u00a019hoo for pre-dinner drinks \u2013 we recommend the Amarula<\/a> Spice, a combo of Amarula, mango juice, cinnamon and cayenne pepper and just so yum!\u00a0Then take your front row seat in the starry sky at ON19, and experience a magical Cape Town evening in the alluring light of the full moon\u2026<\/p>\n
