The Butcher Shop and Grill

Fodor's Review:

This is a good place for hungry carnivores. It specializes in prime South African meat aged to perfection by Alan Pick, the butcher-owner. An operating butchery features prominently in the restaurant, and special cuts can be ordered for the meal or to take home. Kudu, springbok, ostrich, and other game are often on the specials list, and only the tenderest cuts are served. For lighter appetites, try the chicken or line fish. Jelly and custard pudding is a favorite with regulars. Plus, there's an excellent wine cellar.
