Valentine’s Day doesn’t always have to be about candlelit whispers and dainty portions—and The Famous Butchers Grill is proudly proving just that.
This year, the much-loved steakhouse is turning up the heat with a playful, flavour-packed Valentine’s Day dinner that celebrates love the bold (and delicious) way.
Designed for couples who bond over great food and good laughs, the Valentine’s set menu leans into The Famous Butchers Grill’s signature style: generous portions, premium cuts, and a sense of humour that runs right through the menu. From the first bite to the final spoonful of dessert, this is a dining experience that doesn’t take itself too seriously—except when it comes to flavour.
- The evening kicks off with a choice of starters that range from classic South African biltong dressed with lemon and black pepper, to comforting house-made butternut soup with honeyed bread, or crispy crumbed mushrooms served golden and irresistible. It’s a choose-your-own love story, and every option starts things off on a high note.
- Mains are where the grill truly shines. Guests can opt for grilled ostrich fillet topped with garlic mushrooms, the restaurant’s famous perfectly grilled sirloin or rump steak, a creamy mushroom risotto, or a crowd-pleasing chicken schnitzel. Each dish is served with a choice of sides, and for those feeling extra indulgent, adding prawns to the plate is strongly encouraged.
- Dessert keeps the romance going with comforting classics and a touch of decadence—think rich baked chocolate cake with Bar One sauce, traditional malva pudding with custard, or a silky Amula crème brûlée. Sweet, satisfying, and perfect for sharing (or not).
Priced at R450 per person and including a welcome drink, this Valentine’s Day dinner strikes the perfect balance between indulgence and value. Whether it’s a first date, a long-term love, or simply an excuse to enjoy a great meal together, The Famous Butchers Grill offers a Valentine’s celebration that’s relaxed, flavour-forward, and unapologetically fun. For those who believe the way to the heart is through the grill, this is one reservation worth making.
