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.

    We visited The Fat Butcher in Stellenbosch twice during our stay – and for a very good reason! The food was outstanding. The 500g Ribeye Anniversary in particular was absolutely excellent – perfectly cooked, incredibly tender, and full of flavor. That’s exactly why we came back a second time. The atmosphere in the restaurant is very pleasant and stylish. The service was friendly, attentive, and professional on both visits. A must-visit in Stellenbosch for meat lovers – we would come back anytime!
