Now serving Wagyu and USDA Black Angus Steak - arguably two of the best breeds of cattle for steak in the world.

The legendary Wagyu beef – called Kobe beef when from Japan – is arguably the very best beef in the world. The meat from these extraordinary breeds of cattle is heavily marbled with fat, giving it a luxurious and unctuous flavour and texture. An exceptional taste sensation and an experience not to be missed by any gourmet food lover

Tender, juicy and beautifully marbled, U.S. beef is recognised worldwide for its succulence and flavour. The cattle is fed on grass but is finished for the last 100 days of its 24-month life on a carefully balanced grain diet, making the beef sweet and succulent with a noticeable improvement in marbling throughout the muscle. Grain-finished cattle from the U.S., which is mainly produced from Angus and Angus cross-breed cattle, consistently produce beef of the highest quality. The tenderness and taste clearly distinguishes it from most other meat originating from Europe or South America, where cattle is raised exclusively on grass.
