The Butcher Man

I've been here here two times within 3 days with my friend and we had among others some Rump Steak, Wine, Sirloin, Lamb Cutlets and Greek Salad. Very delicious! Very good value for money! See you again!

Excellent service and really tasty food. I had the beef burger which was super delicious. The rest of the menu also looks great and they had a good selection of meat for sale in the butchery section.

Really enjoyed the meal. Had the perfect cut of sirloin and grilled to perfection. Staff very friendly and efficient. Went for their 2 for 1 special and it was worth every bite. Such value for money. Will be going back to experience the other specials very soon.

Where ever we go we want absolutely to try local places and this was was perfect! Pretty close to our accommodation, easy to find and even if it's an hybrid between a butcher shop and a restaurant it's particularly nice. Wide choice of different cuts of meat and side dishes, we took 3 sirloin steaks and they were perfect! Sweet fried potatoes were simply amazing! Our waiter was super kind and nice, definitely recommended!

for such an expensive burger the meat should not be pre-mixed. Seasoning, pre mixing and pre forming the patties works the proteins way too much and turns them into sausages with a firm and bouncy bite, instead of tender and juicy. thick burgers should show off the freshness of the meat. best to loosely form the patty with fresh ground beef right before cooking, and to only season the outside. for reference try out the burger from Clarkes

THE GOOD:

Steaks are very tasty and good
Service was good

THE NOT SO GOOD:

No wine by the glass
Strange set up

We popped into here for a quick lunch. The food was good and so was the service. Just seems like a strange set up as you don't know if it is a butcher trying to be a restaurant or restaurant trying to be a butcher and a shop. But besides this strange feeling, I would eat here again. The service was very attentive and I enjoyed my steak. Although it did come out as rare instead of medium rare, I would always prefer it this way than overcooked. The fries that came with the steaks were also cooked very nicely. I just wish they had real mayonnaise instead of the salad cream.

What was disappointing was not having any wine by the glass. Especially popping in for lunch, sometimes just one glass of wine is desired with a steak and not to share a whole bottle. Something they should look at for the future.

Overall the prices are what you expect in Cape Town, on the expensive side to the rest of the country but still pretty good value for money compared to eating a steak in the UK.

High quality meats, incredible service in a nice atmosphere. The only criticism I can offer is that their burgers are too big, literally. There is so much meat in it, it's hard to eat.
