    We booked a company team lunch, and we had a lovely afternoon. The setting is beautiful with views over the vineyards and mountains and the friendly and tame cows grazing around made it so peaceful. The food was tasty, well-presented and the service was excellent. The restaurant has a very good wine list. We will be back.

    Hi, our expectation was to come through to get a good steak initially. When we heard the meat was frozen before being served, we were really shocked considering the name of the venue. Meat is supposed to be cured? anyway, burgers were great, setting is awesome, was a lot more relaxed than what I initially expected.

    Hi Paul, Thank you so much for your honest feedback and kind words about the burgers and our relaxed setting – we’re really glad you enjoyed that part of your visit! We completely understand your surprise regarding the meat being frozen. Wagyu, due to its intense marbling, actually begins to melt at just 28°C – which makes transporting and storing it in Paarl’s unpredictable and sometimes extreme heat (often soaring above 45°C) quite tricky. For that reason, especially for our deli customers who take meat home, we keep our Wagyu frozen to maintain its quality and safety. Rest assured, all meat served in the restaurant is expertly handled and prepared to preserve the incredible tenderness and flavour that Wagyu is known for. Thanks again for visiting – we’d love to welcome you back soon for more of the Wagyu Experience!

    Another wonderful dining experience! Thanks to Anthony (I think) for his knowledge on the meat choices that we made…my hubby did the wine tasting…again! as well as my eldest son, and my youngest did the whiskey tasting, and once again Anthony knew his stuff
