THE BUTCHER SHOP AND GRILL

BEST FOR Grills on steroids (not literally). FOOD Grass- or grain-fed, on or off the bone – you can specify the exact cut and weight of your matured piece of beef, whether local or imported, and have it grilled with basting or spices. Vary your experience and opt for venison or splash out on Wagyu. Chakalaka is among the sauces on offer and sides include homely roast pumpkin, creamed spinach, pap and mashed potato. Non-carnivores need not starve – there is seafood and fish from the grill, as well as a vegetarian platter and burger and many salads. Desserts include malva pudding and chocolate brownies. DRINKS There’s an extensive wine list befitting an establishment with two cellars and a sommelier, plus a substantial collection of brandies and whiskies. SERVICE Waiters in braces and butcher's aprons deliver efficient service. AMBIENCE This 600-seater restaurant’s interior is styled as a gentleman’s club with big screens dotted about. (PC)
