If the sound of sizzling steak and a spoonful of dessert decadence is your kind of carol, then The Famous Butchers Grill at Cape Town Lodge Hotel is where you’ll want to spend Christmas 2025.
This year, they’re serving up a three-course Christmas menu that’s less “ho ho ho” and more “oh wow, yes please.”
For just R560 per person (excluding drinks and gratuity), diners are treated to a holiday meal that’s full-on festive without a single soggy sprout in sight.
🎁 Starters That Start Strong
Kick things off with one of three classics:
-
A retro-chic Avocado Ritz (because prawns + avo never go out of style)
-
Spicy Peri-Peri Chicken Livers with in-house baked bread
-
Or a Greek Salad — fresh, crisp, and for those who believe balance belongs on the plate
🔥 Mains That Bring the Merriment
It’s hard to choose between:
-
The Famous Steak — 200g of Rump or Sirloin, grilled just right. Feeling fancy? Add 3 prawns for R100 and turn it into a Surf & Turf situation
-
Braised Oxtail, slow-cooked in a Guinness-infused sauce (it’s basically Christmas comfort in a bowl)
-
Mushroom Risotto, creamy and rich with garlic-grilled mushrooms
-
Chicken Parmesan, golden and comforting with a choice of mushroom or pepper sauce
-
Or Grilled Hake & Prawns, drizzled with lemon or garlic butter (because seafood lovers deserve Christmas joy too)
🍨 Dessert: Naughty, Nice & a Little Boozy
Dessert is where things get delightfully indulgent. Choose from:
-
Ice Cream with Vodka Chocolate Sauce (yes, vodka and yes, it works)
-
The Triple Threat — a trio of house-made desserts with custard and ice cream
-
Or the iconic Dom Pedro — boozy, creamy, and totally adult-approved
Whether you’re a holiday traditionalist or just in it for the food, this menu hits all the right notes. The Famous Butchers Grill knows how to do festive without fuss — just bold flavors, cozy atmosphere, and a location in the heart of Cape Town that’s perfect for post-lunch city strolls (or naps, no judgment).
Booking is essential — because this Christmas menu will fill up faster than Santa’s sleigh.
