Questions
Where does your meat come from?
Our own butchery. Every cut on the braai menu is prepared in house.
What is a braai restaurant?
A braai is the South African open-fire barbecue. At Kronendal 1713 every cut is cooked over live flame in our open-air kitchen, in a Cape Dutch National Monument on an estate granted in 1713.
Do you do grilled steaks?
Five, all grilled over open fire: a 300g sirloin or rump, a 200g fillet, a 400g ribeye, an 800g T-bone and a 1.2kg tomahawk. The sides come off the same fire.
Do you have vegetarian options?
Flame-grilled vegetables, fire-roasted corn, Bavarian radish, coleslaw and the Bavarian bretzel are all vegetarian.
What is the best thing to order for a group?
The 1.2kg Tomahawk or the 800g T-Bone. Both are priced lower if you let us film it for @kronendal1713.
The bar runs ten taps, all of them imported, in the Irish pub bar. That list is on the beer menu. To eat with us, book a table.
