It’s that time of the year again! The roads of Cape Town are about to be flooded with determined cyclists, clad in their finest Lycra, ready to conquer the legendary Cape Town Cycle Tour.
But before the riders tackle those scenic climbs and coastal breezes, there’s a far more important challenge at hand: the ultimate carbo-load.
And where better to fuel up than at The Famous Butchers Grill?
- Nestled in the heart of Cape Town, The Famous Butchers Grill is flipping the script on the traditional pre-race pasta binge with a Carbo Night Menu that’s as legendary as the race itself. Forget the sad spaghetti at home – this is a feast fit for champions (and those who just want an excellent excuse to eat their body weight in carbs).
A Feast Worth Pedaling For
The Carbo Night Menu is a cyclist’s dream, offering a symphony of pasta, bread, and all things gloriously starchy. Whether you’re a die-hard racer or just a dedicated spectator with a healthy appetite, this spread is designed to get those glycogen stores locked and loaded.
Expect heaping portions of perfectly al dente pasta, smothered in rich, flavorful sauces that taste like victory. There’s everything from classic, creamy Alfredo to robust, slow-cooked Bolognese, ensuring every carb-lover finds their perfect match. And let’s not forget the sidekick of champions—warm, crusty garlic bread, ready to be devoured with reckless abandon.
Their legendary steaks are also making an appearance, because let’s face it—protein is important too (and no one ever said no to a juicy, perfectly seared steak). Pair that with a glass of Cape Town’s finest vino or a refreshing pint, and you’ve got yourself the ultimate pre-race indulgence.
The Real Race? Getting a Table!
With cyclists, supporters, and food lovers alike flocking to this carbo-fueled extravaganza, booking a table is as crucial as inflating your tires before the race. Word on the street is that tables fill up faster than a peloton on a downhill stretch, so make sure to reserve your spot before your only option is a sad pre-race energy bar. Book your spot now, and may the carbs be ever in your favor!
