Cheech Albanese Review of The Butcherman
THE GOOD:
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.
