Local Grill, Hurlingham, Sandton
The mothership of this steakhouse that’s notable in offering either grain-fed Chalmar or grass-fed Greenfields to diners. Inside it’s consistent with the Parktown branch, wood floors, dark wood tones, blackboard like an old-fashioned butcher’s wall, basic tables with cloth – but what a noisy space! As our table grew to 10, and the restaurant filled, conversation was a skirmish with just those next to you. The service on the night was superb, the waiter handling a big wine spill with aplomb and serving the big table efficiently. Local Grill really is about meat, but now they also have sushi (and sushi specials, eat all you can for R120 with a glass of wine!) along with a few other items: having tried their (good) steak on a few occasions I sampled the shoulder of pork with cranberry. It was a thin cut, and pretty dry as a result. Side of steamed veg was uninspired, as were the other sides on the night. But all the steaks were good… and worth supporting any place that gives choice of provenance.
