Cape Town Steak Masters Class

 

Preamble

The Hussar Grill, Rondebosch

This multiple award winning grillroom has been serving the very finest South African beef and game to 3 generations of devotees.

Although the establishment is the proud holder of a Diners Club Platinum Award for its extensive wine selection, it’s also somewhat unique in that guests are always entirely welcome to bring along their own wines at no corkage charge.

Silwood Kitchen
