Pedal & Tap
A comfort-food restaurant with a fun bicycle theme in Kimberley, Pedal & Tap is famous for its unique takes on classic dishes. Mucky Fries — fries topped with mozzarella and cheddar cheese, maple bacon and chipotle sauce — make a great energy-recovering dish after biking to the restaurant (and it’s equally good if you drove). You can also try Spaghettiballs, which are arancini-like fried balls of spaghetti and cheese served on a bed of house-made bolognese sauce. Of course, the “tap” of Pedal & Tap means an extensive list of local craft beers, fun cocktails and an impressive selection of whiskies.
