The Meat Co. - Joburg

 

THE MEAT CO.

Its the Christmas season in South Africa. Christmas trees and lit up streets gave it that holiday feel.

South Africa is known for its succulent steaks and selection of some of the finest wines. So on my next visit there I decided to take a few pictures for you and give you my experience at The Meat Company in Melrose Arch, Johannesburg.

We were welcomed into the restaurant by one of the friendly waitresses. We chose to sit outside, even if it was a bit chilly, as they have warmer lights  and blankets for those who get really cold.

We got right down to it and ordered our steaks and wine immediately. I had my steak medium rare....cooked and juicy, just how I like it. For wine, we chose to have one of the South African blends.

While we waited for the steaks, they brought us some bread.  This had to be some of the best bread I have ever tasted. It was a mix of sweet, salty and spicy. You just couldn't put your finger on what the supposed secret ingredient was. It was delicious. Couldnt help but ask the waitress to give us some more. Absolutely scrumptuous.

Well, hot on the heels of that delicious bread was our main course. My beef fillet was ready. It looked perfect. Absolutely eatable and even after eating all that bread I was still up for this.
It did not disappoint. It was tender and just melts in your mouth. Perfect. Together with mash potato, spinach and some good wine, it was definitely a good night.

So next time you are in Joburg, pop in and have some steak. It is well worth it.
