On 26 July at 7pm , HQ Restaurant will be hosting their 5th Raise the Steaks Dinner, focussing their attention on Sirloin– a cut of meat that is prized for its bigger flavour. Considering HQ’s famously simple menu consists only of their iconic salad, followed by quality steak and chips, this dinner is not one to be missed.
Raise the Steaks is a food-and-wine-pairing experience like no other, where HQ invites a top local wine farm to pair their specialty wines with HQ’s 3-course menu – this month it’s Ken Forrester. A winning combination for only R295 per person . These dinners are designed to shine a spotlight on different cuts of steak, so expect only the finest quality.
