upper cutCarne SA, known for its excellent meat prepared in the pared-down Italian fashion has a new sibling: Carne Bistro on Kloof. When HL visited, chef-proprietor Giorgio Nava was in the kitchen serving quality cuts of meat in this more intimate venue. Locals are already loving the spider cut steak (wonderfully thin and tender) or tomohawk steak (rib attached), which come with perfect shoestring fries, zesty salsa verde and other sauces of your choice. While the menu is smaller than that of its big brother in Keerom Street, Carne Bistro still delivers in terms of flavour and variety, and is a must for meat-lovers. 153 Kloof St, Cape Town, 021-426-5566, carne-sa.com

a carnivore’s delight Newly opened in Cape Town, The Butcher Shop & Grill

is putting meat on the menu in a serious wayTexT Lisa van aswegen PHOTOGRAPHS courtesy of inhouse brand architects, Lar LesLey, riaan west

e already have loads of regulars,’ a delighted Dani Pick, owner of The Butcher

Shop & Grill, says of the new restaurant in Mouille Point, Cape Town. That’s after only a month of being open. While Joburg’s iconic Butcher Shop & Grill in Nelson Mandela Square has been around for 22 years and seats 600 people, its Cape Town counterpart is intimate by comparison, but it’s apparent from the buzz that Capetonians can’t get enough.

Designed by Lawrence Holmes of Inhouse Brand Architects, the new space was to be respectful of the established brand, but, says Lawrence, ‘we were also encouraged to push boundaries’. Its details were expertly crafted: from leather banquettes and metal laser-cut area dividers to the taxidermy Nguni bull above the bar. ‘You’ll also notice the brand’s signature shade of green used subtly throughout,’ he adds. The colour emerges in tiles behind the bar and in a wine-bottle chandelier. The double-volume space flows effortlessly with stairs leading up to mezzanine levels and a private dining area.

Dani is particularly proud of the hefty butcher’s block that functions as a bar counter: ‘It’s the biggest in the world,’ he says, ‘We want it in the Guinness World Records.’ Another talking point is the two-storey glass-and-metal wine cellar, built specifically so that guests can go in, browse the shelves – packed with special varietals, heavy hitters and their accessible Pick’s Pick in-house wines – and select their preference.

An essential part of The Butcher Shop & Grill experience is guests’ interaction with the butchers at the counters: diners can personally select their cuts, all expertly aged and butchered in-house. Dani explains that while most of the beef is local, from Karan, Chalmer and Greenfields, gourmets can also indulge in Wagyu beef from Australia.

The menu is geared towards meat-lovers, with favourites such as sirloin on the bone done to a tee. The izimbambo zemvu (salted lamb riblets) is a must, while sides are classic – think creamed spinach, sweet baked pumpkin and mielie pap. Vegetarians are treated to authentic fare, such as the falafel burger (probably the best falafel you’ll find in Cape Town) and fresh salads.

With South Africans’ love of all things meaty and The Butcher Shop & Grill’s reputation for an excellent experience, the new restaurant is set to be a favourite. Butcher Shop & Grill, 125 Beach Rd, Mouille Point, Cape Town, 021-434-0813, thebutchershop.co.za

CLOCKWISE Laser-cut images abound in the space, which has an in-house butchery; stairs lead to the mezzanine levels; the Nguni bull above the bar is a talking point; the entrance boasts bold elements such as cleavers, leather aprons and a butcher’s block.

T here are few people who don’t dream of an exotic beach holiday. And a trip to Thailand is the perfect way to get equal amounts of quality beach time in warm tropical waters, exploring the exquisite natural surrounds

and tasting delicious food. Best of all, Thailand is a cost-effective destination for South African holidaymakers. Though it may be a long trip, you’ll be glad you made it.

At about 543 km2, Phuket is Thailand’s largest island. The west coast is the place to be, and the beach towns of Patong, Kata and Karon are good indicators of what to expect. Patong is the most popular beach covering about three kilometres, and a hive of activity with restaurants bars, shops and clubs pulsing deep into the night. South of it, Karon is slightly smaller and less intense, while further south, Kata and Kata Noi are much more relaxed and quieter. Kata Noi was my chosen destination; small with quality restaurants and shops dotted about between the more touristy spots – perfect!

A taste of ThaiOne of the first things I planned for my trip was a cooking class. Although I’m not a big fan of very spicy food, I am definitely a serious foodie, so a cooking class was a must. I chose a market tour and morning class with Kata Thai Cooking Class (www.katathaicooking.com). Owner Kelly fetched me at my hotel and we spent a fascinating half hour at the local market where she showed me incredible things: pots of steaming curries where locals get their dinners, fabulous and exotic fruits that we tasted (the creamy mangosteen was my favourite, the yellow watermelon super-sweet, guavas green and gnarly, rambutan that looked like spiky alien fruit), fresh seafood on ice, freshly butchered meat stacked out in the open. While it isn’t for the squeamish, it’s a fascinating look at life on the island. One of my favourite stalls was the fresh flowers. Locals buy flowers and garlands to take to the hundreds of little shrines dotted about the island.

Then we were off to the cooking school where a French couple and two English travellers joined me for two hours of learning, chopping, crushing and cooking fun! Kelly expertly guided us as we prepared ingredients for the freshest Thai

nighT music

The beach is the place to be in Phuket – even deep into the night. Beach clubs are seriously cool spots to hang out during the day and party at night. Xana Beach Club at the Angsana Laguna Phuket resort on the west of Phuket, boasts a cool 35m pool with swim-up bar, bright hot-pink decor and cabanas and day loungers. Fabulous seafood dinners and fire shows on the beach every Friday are a must, or head there when Ministry of Sound spins some tunes. On Kata beach in the south-west of Phuket, it’s all about cool vibes at Re Ká Ta Beach Club. With healthy organic fare to enjoy and beanbags to relax on between dips in the pool and sea, it’s a happening spot for some well-deserved chilling.

Lisa van Aswegen chats to the finalists of this year’s Diners Club Winemaker of the Year Award and finds out why Pinotage is South Africa’s rising star

Singular success

This year’s instalment of the prestigious Winemaker of the Year competition saw as many as 96 wines entered into the main category, Non- Bordeaux Single-Variety Reds (excluding Shiraz). It’s no surprise that South Africa’s own signature varietal, Pinotage, was dominant. Dave Hughes, who convenes the panel of seven judges, says that they were quite surprised by how many Pinotages were entered this year. ‘Pinotage is enjoying a surge in quality at the moment. Without a doubt, this is the varietal that stood out this year,’ Hughes enthuses. ‘What’s more,’ he adds, ‘is there was very little deviation between judges when it came to deciding on the finalists, which shows just how high the quality and consistency of this year’s entrants were.’ From the heart of Stellenbosch to as far afield as the Swartland and Klein Karoo, the grapes these finalists are using come from a vast range of terroirs, each adding unique qualities to their wines. This year’s finalists have lovingly created show-stoppers, showcasing mostly South Africa’s signature varietal, but there’s also an unusual Tinta Barroca in the mix for good measure.

So you’re in Joburg in December for a family holiDay, anD you think you’ll probably hate it. Don’t panic: here’S our guiDe to the top five thingS to Do with kiDS – anD a Survival guiDe for parentS too.

Words: lisa van asWegen

Y ou’ve got a car full of kids and no beach in sight… Don’t panic. Joburg has an incredible array of activities that will keep kids

of all ages entertained. And they might even learn something along the way. Bored teens will be thrilled with hands-on scientific experiments; preschoolers and toddlers will love animal encounters; and tweens can work off excess energy with some action in the treetops. With its gorgeous summer weather and quiet roads in December, Joburg offers families a surprising amount of stuff to do to keep both body and mind active.

great outdoorsFor lots of physical fun and learning through play, Acrobranch is top of our list. Kids are kitted out with safety gear and after a thorough briefing and practice session they can try to overcome various obstacles – with parents and watchful instructors lending a helping hand. There are a couple of different courses aimed at different age groups. Once the little ones master using their carabiners, they can’t wait for the next obstacles: swinging bridges, zip lines and roundabouts all built into the trees. Depending on how tall the kids are, they can go on higher and longer courses, so the tweens and the preschoolers will all be happy. Acrobranch, James and Eythel Gray Park, Melrose Arch, 010 593 0493, acrobranch.co.za

Parents’ survival tip If you can’t beat them, join them! There are bigger courses for adults (and older kids) that will get your adrenalin pumping – not to mention the 200m zip slide, the longest in Africa.
