What I love about South Africa - day 8 - Joops Place
Although I know that I am always right, every now and then I am happy to entertain someone’s opinion out of courtesy. So, after the ‘Best Steakhouse in Durban’ discussion with Dave, I decided that I would HAVE TO go back to Joop’s Place in 9th Ave to determine once and for all who serves the best steak in Durban.
My impending birthday provided the perfect opportunity, and so Friday night, the family and respective better halves visited the master. And, surprise, surprise, it was out of this world. The man is untouchable. Seriously. Not even AWT can touch Joop. My 280g hollandse biefstiek fillet was cooked to perfection and the meat of such high quality that a sauce was not required. It was washed down with several bottles of Le Bonheur Prima 2001 which, although not necessarily considered in the upper echelon on SA wines, was a perfect partner.
Discussion closed.
