Win a Lunch Cruise for Four Aboard The Alba Restaurant Boat
One lucky reader stands the chance of winning a three-course lunch for four, complete with wine and bubbly, aboard this unique floating restaurant at the V&A Waterfront.
The recently launched Alba floating restaurant is a wonderful – albeit touristy – experience that Capetonians and out-of-towners should add to the old bucket-list! A first of its kind in Cape Town, the restaurant boat serves brunch, lunch, sunset canapés, high tea and even dinners on the water while cruising around the V&A Waterfront.
Designed to ensure a smooth-sailing environment (so guests can enjoy their sumptuous meal), the two-hour cruise sails around the yacht basin and dock areas on either side of the Clock Tower walking bridge. And because the vessel is encased in floor-to-ceiling glass windows, guests are privy to spectacular ocean views, and even the occasional friendly seal popping its head up to say hello!
Starters are a choice between baked camembert, Karoo springbok carpaccio, and citrus-cured salmon. For mains, opt for fillet medallions, braised springbok shank or sea bass; while dessert is dark-chocolate mousse and milk-chocolate truffles.
The best part? All this could be yours – simply enter our competition, and you and three friends stand the chance of enjoying this three-course lunch cruise complete with bubbly on arrival, wines to accompany each course, and attentive service – worth over R2 000.
How to enter
Enter your email address in the form alongside, and you could be the lucky recipient of this awesome prize. (You’ll also be subscribing to our free weekly newsletter.)
