As a consequence of our lacking antlers to sort matters out, mans competitive nature can lead to all manner of attempted besting between friends. One popular method is over a flame. Not by wrestling on a bonfire, but by outdoing your pal in the cooking of mans greatest culinary obsession: THE STEAK.

    If you advertise bottled beer, don’t serve it in a tin. Include a quality lager like Jack Black or Windhoek. Don’t pour beer in such a manner as to create 3/4 head in the glass. Don’t lean across an eating customer to clear another’s plate. By all means ask whether another beer is required but when told ‘no I’ll just share this one’, bring another.

    Tolles Restaurant in Stellenbosch, bedonders für Fleischliebhaber. Aber auch der Fisch und der Salat waren perfekt.

    We came first time in 2020, now back 5 years later. Almost impossible, but it still exceeds our expectations. Its THE best steakhouse in Stellenbosch. We absolutly love it. The steaks are amazing, the side dishes as well, but the milk tart with a twist (dessert) was the best dessert I have ever ever had. You have to try it. Looking forward to come back!
