This South African Spot Has a 1kg Steak Challenge
If you're on the carnivore diet and haven't discovered Leopard Lodge yet, you're about to embark on a meat adventure that'll change your game forever. Tucked away in Carabooda, this South African haven is serving up the kind of protein-packed dishes that make carnivore dieters' dreams come true.
Beyond the Standard Steak
Forget everything you think you know about steak houses. While Leopard Lodge absolutely nails their premium cuts (we're talking MSA-grade Australian beef chargrilled to perfection), it's their unique South African specialties that really get our carnivore hearts racing.
Let's Talk About Boerewors
First up: Boerewors, South Africa's gift to the meat-eating world. This isn't just any sausage – it's a chunky, beef-based masterpiece that'll make you question every other sausage you've ever eaten. Try it as a starter ($16) and thank us later.
For the Organ Meat Enthusiasts
Carnivore dieters know the nutritional gold mine that is organ meat, and Leopard Lodge delivers with their Peri-Peri Chicken Livers ($20). You can get them without the spicy Peri-Peri if you're keeping it strictly carnivore, but either way, these little powerhouses of nutrition are a must-try.
The Main Event
Their steak selection is a carnivore's dream come true:
250g Rump ($34)
450g Rump ($49)
450g Rib Eye ($49)
200g Eye Fillet ($40)
The legendary 1000g "Elephant" Rump Challenge ($75)
Speaking of that Elephant Rump – here's a challenge worthy of any serious carnivore: finish this 1kg beast in one sitting, and you'll earn yourself the coveted Leopard Lodge Certificate of Achievement plus your photo on their Wall of Fame. Now that's what we call a proper meat challenge!
But here's where it gets really interesting: their Zulu Oxtail ($40), slow-cooked in a traditional three-legged African pot, is the kind of dish that reminds you why you went carnivore in the first place. Rich, hearty, and packed with collagen, it's basically nature's multivitamin in a pot.
For the True Meat Warriors
The Tribal Feast Platter ($75 for 2 people) is like a carnivore's greatest hits album: 250g Rump steak, Boerewors, char-grilled chicken, and more, all on one massive plate. For strict carnivores, just skip the sides and double down on the meat.
Pro Tips for Carnivore Diners:
Most dishes can be ordered without the plant-based sides
Their homemade sauces include cream-based options perfect for carnivore
The "blue" steak option is available for those who like their meat barely kissed by fire
Consider adding Tiger Prawns ($8.50 each) for some nutrient diversity
