Our verdict

Tastes of South Africa and stronger examples from New Zealand meet in the warm service and interesting dishes. Loved by locals for the generous cuts of meat from the flame grill with a secret basting sauce and the espetada (skewers). A wide-ranging menu that is sure to please with plenty for vegetarians and seafood lovers too.
