A rushing sea of bodies, burning rubber and screaming muscles, The Argus is a fantastic spectacle. But whether you’re cheerleading for a friend, or supporting the whole sea of riders, you’re sure to get peckish after a couple of hours of cheering. Don’t find yourself starving and cut-off from your breakfast by road closures; here is our list of great breakfast spots for spectators.
Rhodes Memorial Restaurant will be open for breakfast and superb teas from 9am – they’re accessible via Princess Anne Avenue, and are just a little above the action of race day down on the M3.
Further along the route, make a detour to
Chart Farm, in Klaassens Road and have tea and breakfast amongst the roses from 9am.
Avoid road closures, and take a train down to Kalk Bay, where you’ll be rewarded with perfect buttery croissants and terrific full English breakfasts at
Olympia Café. They’ll be open from 7 am on race day.
Many of the Simonstown restaurants will be somewhat cut-off, but
Café Pescado will be open for breakfast from 8:30 am.
