Fuel Up for the Cape Town Marathon: Where to Eat

Cheer Them On, Dine in Style
Even armchair runners can work up quite an appetite. All that cheering and showering heaps of love and support on the runners of the Cape Town Marathon can bring on the hunger pangs sooner than you think.

Whether it’s a hearty breakfast you seek, event snacks and drinks, or a wholesome lunch by the sea, Shoreditch is the premium choice for this year’s marathon. The flagship restaurant of The Winchester Hotel is situated on Beach Road, Sea Point, affording you a prime spot for viewing the brave runners as they pass by on Sea Point Promenade.

Marathon of a Menu
Shoreditch is known and loved for its unique style of cooking – over the coals. The menu is enough to delight the senses, with a distinct smokey, local and delicious flavour, no matter what your palette longs for.

Sharing plates is the way to go for race viewing, offering oysters, tapioca calamari and Shoreditch biltong or cauli bites with in-house dips and za’atar flatbread. Tuck into chicken wings, West Coast mussels or smoked goat cheese if you dare.

For bigger appetites, the chefs never fail to impress with apricot peri-peri baby chicken, line fish, prawns or a Wagyu burger and fries. Marathon supporters are also in for decadent steaks, lamb chops, fresh salads and intriguing sides from roasted sweet potato to tabouleh.

Post-Marathon Celebration
Of course, the true heroes of the day are the runners, whether you’ve done the marathon, one of the shorter Peace road runs or a Table Mountain trail run. After your race, reward yourself for a mammoth achievement with a delicious meal at Shoreditch, served by our friendly hosts in a warm, inviting atmosphere.

Dine with running buddies, friends or family and awaken the taste buds with flame-grilled platters and nourishment and hydration for those tired muscles. Harvey’s Bar provides a leisurely setting to toast to your accomplishments after the race, with ice-cold drinks prepared by our beverage connoisseurs.

End the celebration on a sweet note, with desserts made for champions. Shoreditch offers a tantalising selection, including elderflower pavlova, tiramisu and chocolate hazelnut fondant.

Shoreditch makes this running weekend even more enjoyable. Book your table with Newmark Hotels & Reserves to avoid disappointment or contact us for more information.
