Unpopular opinion loading 👀 Today we introduce you to our thoughts on the The Butcher’s Wife Athlone. A popular spot for a lot of Capetonians and one of our favourite spots in Athlone for pasta, pizza and milkshakes that are absolutely yummmm.
Our Favourite Pizzas at The Butcher’s Wife Athlone
Click here to watch instead! Let’s start with the pizzas. What we love about all of their pizza options is that they are perfectly made with a crunchy base and ingredients that are balanced just the right way.
Our favourite pizza option is their Chicken Tikka which melts into your mouth the minute you crunch the first bite. Another favourite of ours is the Chicken Kebab gourmet pizza.
Pasta, Milkshakes and Desserts
Their pasta options also stood out to us. The classic meatball pizza and spaghetti bolognese are hands-down the best; simple and tasty.
The portion size is a bit smaller but not a deal breaker. For our next visit, we are definitely going to try another pasta option.
For drinks, we have had their oreo and bubblegum milkshake and fresh juices. All of them have refreshed us and we can’t wait to try more.
While we don’t generally have desserts there, their churros with chocolate option is warm and perfect for the winter. Alternatively, you can try some of their cakes that are on display.
What We Didn’t Love at The Butcher’s Wife Athlone
An unpopular opinion we hold is that we don’t like their burgers and all their steak options despite trying them multiple times. (We will concede that their lamb chops are lekker).Most people we talk to love their burgers and steaks though so we might be in the minority here.
Also, we wished they took reservations! In our opinion, it’s still definitely a place worth spending your evening at 👌
